"My car broke down on the first day of school as I drove to pick up my little girl. It was 42 degrees hot, the aircon didn't work and the car made a scary rattle everytime I slowed down or stopped. I got my car to the most wonderful, honest, great bunch of people at Matlin Auto Repairs on South Road at Forestville. That's here in Adelaide, South Australia. Everything is always explained by Vince who is the sweetest, most helpful man. He doesn't take advantage of a woman's ignorance with motor vehicle problems either. Honest to the core! By lunch time Vince from Matlin Auto Repairs phoned to inform my car was fixed and ready to go - and it was a lot cheaper than I expected. Matlin Auto Repairs are so good at car repairs, I had to write about it here and tell everyone how pleased and grateful I am. Thanks fellas! You're the best."

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 Matlin Auto Repairs in Forestville 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 Matlin Auto Repairs in Forestville 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.

Matlin Auto Repairs (AU01577) specialise in all your Automotive Air Conditioning Regas, Inspection, Repairs and Servicing needs in Forestville and the surrounding areas.

Modern cars tend to be quite complex and just like the engine servicing your car's air conditioner regularly is very important to ensure continued reliable and efficient operation.

Matlin Auto Repairs Car Air Conditioning Auto Facts

Naturally occurring evaporation over time or leaks from deteriorating hoses and seals may reduce refrigerant pressure meaning your air con system will begin to break down and will have to work harder, increasing the amount of fuel you use. It is vitally important to regularly review the condition of the rubber seals for any signs of leaks or cracks which may well be allowing a loss of refrigerant.

A annual car air conditioning service means you generally assist prevention of 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 car air conditioner actually saves you money because it results in a reduction of fuel being used up.

1. Leakage: This occurs when the refrigerant in your AC system escapes through small leaks in the equipment, causing a decline in its functionality. Detecting these leaks is often tricky and may require the assistance of a professional.

Your car's air conditioning system may encounter several typical issues such as leakage, blockage, and compressor malfunction.

2. Blockage: Your AC system may become blocked due to dust or debris. A clogged filter not only hinders the system's effectiveness but could also cause other components of the system to fail.

3. Compressor Malfunction: The compressor plays a crucial role in your AC system, circulating refrigerant throughout it. Therefore, if it fails, your car's AC system will not be able to cool the vehicle effectively.

Matlin Auto Repairs care about the environment and have Arctick Authorisation (AU01577) to reliably and responsibly conduct vehicle air conditioner regas, inspection, repairs and servicing.
