With temperatures likely to hit over 30 this weekend you will need effective air conditioning in your car even more!
Remember, if you leave a car in 30'c sunshine, the interior can get up to 45'c after one hour ! So once you get into the car you want lovely cool air coming through the vents. If its warm, has started to smell odd, or is just not working you need Motest to fix it fast.
Just call Motest or even book on line now if your aircon system needs a regas or service.
Keep cool this summer
