Exhaust Repairs and Replacement

However, during this automotive process dangerous fumes are also created. This is why the exhaust system is highly important in its vital task of expelling nasty toxins out the rear of the vehicle.

Air Conditioning

Driving in a vehicle, on a hot summer’s day, is only comfortable when the air conditioning is turned on. While you could wind down the drivers-side window, it’s just not the same as driving in comfort, with chilled air blowing gently on your face.

However, not having the air conditioning system regularly serviced could see it begin to malfunction. This could mean that when you need the air conditioning the most, it will not be available and instead simply blow out warm air.

At J & A Servicing and Repairs, we strongly suggest to customers, that for best performance during summer’s hot weather, to have the air conditioning system checked beforehand.

If your AC is not blowing out refreshing chilled air, talk to the team at J & A Servicing and Repairs today!
