Over time, car air conditioning systems can collect moisture, dust, pollen and bacteria. This creates a breeding ground for allergens and pathogens, which are then circulated through your vehicle every time you switch on the fan. If you are based in Southampton and suffer from asthma or respiratory issues, a hidden problem like this makes driving uncomfortable and affects health.
At Atherley Garage, we offer car air conditioning servicing to remove harmful contaminants, improve air quality and ensure your system works efficiently. If you have noticed unpleasant smells, reduced airflow or simply want peace of mind, a service will make a major difference to your driving experience.
