Why Locals Trust Vehicle Airconditioning Repair Centre Ltd
“I didn’t realise you were so close to Mahon.”
We hear this all the time. Our Ballinrea workshop is just off the N40 – one of the nearest aircon specialists to Mahon. Many Mahon residents drive past our exit without knowing we’re there.
“I need my car for the school run – I can’t lose it for a day.”
We get it. Most regas and diagnostic jobs take under an hour. Wait at our workshop, or use our mobile service while you do the school run.
“I tried a DIY regas kit from the local motor factors.”
DIY kits don’t vacuum test for leaks. If your system has a leak, you’ve wasted your money. We’ll find it and fix it properly.
“My AC failed on the way to Mahon Point.”
Call us. We offer same-day and next-day mobile service in Mahon. We’ll meet you in the shopping centre car park.
