UK motoring retailer to offer free air con check at all stores amid heatwave

The complimentary check includes refrigerant and temperature tests, and Halfords says a separate diagnostic can cost £34.99 if problems are found.

  • Halfords is offering Drivers a free air conditioning check at retail stores nationwide to support motorists ahead of an upcoming heatwave, including assessment of output temperature and refrigerant levels.
  • Chris Lunn, Halfords' motoring expert, said, "Air conditioning systems can lose around 10% of their refrigerant each year, reducing cooling performance," making regular checks important before summer traffic.
  • A well-maintained air conditioning system improves visibility by preventing window misting and reduces Driver fatigue during long journeys. Drivers can book the check by entering their licence plate on the Halfords website.
  • If the check reveals leaks or complex issues, Drivers can visit a Halfords Autocentre for a comprehensive Air Conditioning Diagnostic Check costing £34.99 to determine if systems need topping up or deeper inspection.
  • Halfords also offers a service to replace and recharge lubricant and refrigerant levels in line with manufacturer recommendations, costing £74.99 or £139.99 depending on the specific refrigerant type required.
