Athena Automatics (AU07540) are the right choice to conduct all your Car Air Conditioning Regas, Repairs, Servicing or Inspection needs in Tingalpa and the surrounding areas.

Todays vehicles are very complex and just like the engine a vehicle's air conditioner has components that need to be serviced or replaced on a regular basis to ensure continued reliable and efficient operation. A car air conditioning system which is overdue for a service will tend to have to work a lot harder to keep your car and it's  occupants cool throughout the harsh Australian summers. This translates to more fuel being used by the engine.

Athena Automatics Car Air Conditioning Auto Facts

Reduced levels of refrigerant from evaporation or leaks mean your air con system will begin to deteriorate and will have to work harder, with a resulting increase in fuel being used up. Therefore it is important to scrutinise the condition of the rubber seals regularly for any signs of leaks or deterioration which may point to a loss of refrigerant.

A yearly car air conditioning service means you generally protect against costly breakdowns now and in the future, keep passengers safe by helping to prevent the build-up of potentially harmful substances and a well serviced automotive air conditioning system actually saves you money because it uses less fuel.

Did you know there is a cabin air filter in your car? Where is your cabin air filter? They are designed to remove a large amount of outside air pollutants and debris to keep you breathing easily when you drive.  And it is usually located in your glovebox. Talk to Athena Automatics in Tingalpa today about your cabin air filter !

Just like your air-conditioning at home, the filters need to be checked at regular intervals and changed when it has done it's job. Replacing your cabin air filter is important to your health and your cars health too!

The air outside your car can be polluted enough with smoggy city traffic or even dusty country roads, but research published in the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal shows that without an effective cabin air filter installed, the air inside your car can contain over 10 times more pollutants than the air outside.
This poor quality air can cause:

"Cabin air filters are designed to filter out contaminants while  absorbing noxious odours and harmful gases like exhaust and ozone,"  explained Ryco Filters General Manager of Sales & Marketing, Ross Lamb. Cabin air filters become clogged over time and their effectiveness at protecting your health declines. 

If you drive ‘Mum's Taxi', you might feel like you are always on the move - and a recent study into driving habits confirmed that parents with children aged 6-15 drive approximately 10% more than drivers without kids. And, the longer you spend in a vehicle with a Cabin Air Filter that needs replacing, the more you are at risk of health complications. 

As well as healthier air - an effective cabin air filter means you get better fuel performance from your vehicle. A clogged cabin air filter will cause your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to and this means it uses more fuel and your air conditioning system is more likely to have a costly breakdown.

At Athena Automatics in Tingalpa we check your cabin air filter as part of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report which you can request with every full car service.
For a more comprehensive check of your air condition system we recommend an air conditioning service.

Cabin air filter replacement is not only important to your car's health - it affects yours too.

Getting your car's air conditioning serviced every 12 months means you may avoid costly breakdowns now and in the future and a well serviced automotive air conditioning system actually saves you money because it reduces the amount of fuel you use. 

Athena Automatics are the best choice to manage all your Automotive Air Conditioner Regas, Repairs, Servicing or Inspection needs in Tingalpa and the surrounding areas.
