Air Cond Flushing, Round Two

Hey guys,

It was my off day yesterday. Throughout the past two weeks, the weather's been burning hot, so hot that you'd realize your car's air conditioning is no longer as cool as it used to be. I decided to pay Beta Resources a visit with my Perdana that has not been flushed before ever since I got the car. These are the same guys that used to operate Aircondstation and D'Alfa Auto Service in Shah Alam.

They still carry the same set of tools, machines and skills; only with a much cleaner and more organized workshop. I didn't have a dirty coil or any aircond problems, so I just opted for a normal flush.

The process is pretty much the same. You can refer to my older post at http://www.car-preventive-maintenance.blogspot.com/2010/05/aircond-flushing.html for better understanding.


Below are pictures of the workshop which describes their contact, tidiness, professionalism, service and facilities such as waiting room and unifi wifi.




 Car in the process of flushing
- After a simple diagnosis done, we decided to just get down to flushing the whole system











 Half way through
 
- Notice the dark green bottle at the bottom of the machine? That's the used oil that's coming out from the system. Some water content is also noticeable.
 Price list stated
- The price of flushing varies for cars of different sizes.












 Additives, Flush, Oils
- Here you see a variety of leak stopper, UV Dye leak detector, Aircond treatment additive, Airmax flush, and most importantly, FULLY SYNTHETIC PAG OIL for compressors as this shop believes that most compressor failure is caused by either dirty or insufficient oil.
 PAG Oil
- Oils of different viscosity for cars of varous makes













 Cleanliness of the workshop
- Notice how spotless the floor of the shop is? The technician even put a Tupperware at the bottom of my car to collect water that's dripping out of the drain pipe of my cooling coil.
 Attentiveness
- The technician keeps a close watch on what's happening with the aid of their state of the art flushing machine.












 Outlook
- How the shop looks from the outside. Contact number and address is there. Irawan is the boss, and chief technician and Harris is the marketing manager which handles all big projects and advertising. Both are nice people.
 Inside
- This is how the inside of the shop looks. Again, notice the tidiness of the shop. Waiting room is located on the left. Sofa inside isn't stinky like certain waiting rooms and it's fully air conditioned. The counter/reception is located on the right.








 Conclusion
- Car is done. I am satisfied. Not many workshops are up to my expectations to be honest as I'd rather be doing it myself. This is one shop trustworthy; leaving your ride in good hands. Not a single black handprint or fingerprint on your car.

Picture of Irawan at the centre, technician on the right, and not to mention the cute female Supervisor there ;). And for a fact I know they're gonna read this. Heh.



The results? Tremendous improvement especially when you park the car under the sun for a prolonged period. The people there are still doing their job properly, no flaws, no complains on their workmanship and expertise in troubleshooting.

If anyone needs help regarding your air conditioning system you can contact me, or the above contact.


Cheers

Elton

  8. Car maintenance is the first and foremost duty of every people those are having cars. Because the performance of every car is mainly based upon good and
    quality maintenance. Regular maintenance is critical to ensure the safety,reliability,comfort and longevity of a car. During preventive maintenance no. of parts are
    replaced to avoid the major damage. The actual maintenance of car mainly depends upon the year,make and model of car. Common car maintenance includes
    car wash, replace of engine oils,replace of fuel filters,wheel alignment, tire rotation etc.

  10. Car maintenance should be done on a regular basis by a good service center. Its amazing to see the service center so neat and tidy. And also the servicing of the car is done very appropriately. Each part is observed and then operated. Also the waiting room provided is totally different than other service centers,

  11. Car maintenance is a must job for those who own the cars, its their duty to protect the car. The car should always be taken to the best service center and get repaired. Many times it happens that bad mechanic does not repair the car properly and also charges more, this leads to loss of money along with car repair too. So just be alert and aware and find the best car service center near you.

  13. As we maintain ourselves we should also maintain our cars as cars are the essential and favorite commodity in our daily life. Maintenance of car is very important especially luxury cars as buying cars does gives us happiness but when it comes to servicing it costs us more and really hurt us. So, you need to maintain it properly. The above article is very impressive and gave nice tips about the workshops. The workshops should be maintained as explained in the above article. http://www.stuttgartautoservice.com/german-auto-repair-services/
