applove in groupon app for £15 off

All went well. They even said if it leaks before they start the service they'll not use the voucher so it can be refunded. No leaks detected but only 320g of coolant in the system. After emptying thge system the machine put back 7cc of oil and 525g of coolant. I then went for a coconut flavour antibac (as did the person after me) and the cabin is now fresh and cool ! All in all a great experience, no attempt at upselling. They even said that they don't do repairs to aircon systems so not sure where the previous comment came from that they'd be attempting to sell all kinds of other stuff.

If anyone is interested in the antibac on it's own it is made by Wurth and comes in 5 flavours see here for details http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Wurth-Super-Quick-Fresh-Air-Con-Bomb-Air-Freshener-Cleaner-150ml-/262456271889?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368

So I'm off tomorrow to see how they do. I just printed my stuff out and noticed that the T&C's for this are different to the regular T&C's stating no refund.
Quidco T&C here http://www.atseuromaster.co.uk/special-offers/groupon-terms-conditions state "A pressure test will be carried out prior to the Air-conditioning Recharge and Anti-bacterial treatment being carried out. If a leak in the air conditioning system is detected the recharge and treatment will not proceed." So if they don't perform the aircon recharge and anti bacterial treatment then they can't use the Groupon voucher and therefore providing it's within 14 days there should be no issue with getting a refund from Groupon under their 14 days right to cancel as it's an internet sale.
I did check their standard terms and conditions that DID state no refund but unless I am mistaken these have now disappeared from the site.
compared to their standard T&C's http://www.atseuromaster.co.uk/air-conditioning that state

refilled very good service, unfortunately this has now sold out at Groupon

I used the SAVE10 code and very satisfied with the price and the service at ATS.

Excellent service at ATS Aldridge. In and out in 45 minutes.

ATS in Huddersfield advertising free Air Con check, once checked I suppose you can get this deal.

"No thanks mate, I'll get those somewhere else. just the aircon deal please" ...

If it was completely empty I'm afraid you definitely have a leak.

How often does this generally need doing guys? I haven't had mine done for ~ 2 years but it still blows cold air out fairly quickly, under a minute on hot day say.

Who do you work for? Kwik Fit?

Perfect at ATS Leyland today, air con all fixed on 2004 Golf. Hasn't worked for about 2 years and they said there was no gas left in it but no leaks. All cold and working again now and absolutely no upselling etc.. Smells clean after the anti bacterial treatment too. Good deal.

Just a word of caution; I used this offer previously and ATS massively overfilled my car. After the service it was virtually undriveable, the engine surging and the fan constantly switching on and off. A quick Google revealed these were symptoms on the A/C system being overfilled. Took it straight back to ATS who refused point blank to accept this, said it wasn't possible and came up with loads of other (costly) suggestions as to what was wrong with the engine. They would not retest the level, said there was no point. So I took it down the road to another garage who emptied the system and refilled it to the correct level, can't remember the exact amounts but it was a large overfill and could have blown up in their or my face at anytime. ATS investigated but never gave me an official result or apology. Groupon refunded my money. There is so many of these cheap A/C offers going around and training is obviously lacking.
immediately prior to this experience I also tried to book my A/C service at another more convenient branch of ATS, but they put the phone down on me as soon as I mentioned groupon and refused to answer when I rang back.
Not impressed...

We took ours into Launceston (Cornwall) this morning and it's icy cold now. It hasn't blown really cold air out in over a year and we just never got around to sorting it out. But with this hot weather I'm really glad we did. Excellent deal.

I'd very much doubt it,especially after a year...

I used ATS for my air con regas last year. Excellent service from them and they never tried to sell me anything. Obviously all centres are different, mine was in Newport, South Wales

More likely the windscreen washers. Couple of squirts of bleach in the filler does the trick.

Mr Clutch offer includes refund if leak detected and recharge doesn't go ahead.

Generally if you can hear the air con clutch kick in and it works but it takes ages to get cold air out of the vents your gas level will be low.

If you leave it like that for a year or two you usually knacker something up.

I had mine done a few month back and it's been icy cold air coming out after 10 - 20 seconds.

Great deal but worried mine might need a repair. Anyway of checking if I need a repair or regas, on the cheap, before I buy this?

Just FYI, worth checking for some who are unsure what refrigerant their car takes. Most will have cars that take R134A, AFAIK.

can let hot gas out from behind

Got it done this morning. Good service from ATS.

Have used groupon before so used a different computer and email address to sign up to Groupon again and the SAVE10 code worked for me doing that. Had to pay by cashcard rather than credit card as it didnt accept my credit card details for some reason unknown to me!

That's why most women make their fellas take the car in for servicing

Thanks for the info. Won't be having mine done then.

@Laura...I checked their detailed T&Cs which are on their website. it mentions 2 specific clauses - first in case of leak they will not go ahead, and secondly they will not refund under any circumstances...

Errr no it doesn't say that. If they say there is a leak (and attempt to do repairs I feel are un-necessary) I will be insisting they refill it without a repair. If they refuse I'll be asking for my money back as they failed to perform against the contract.

Groupon have the same priced offer available at Mr clutch if people have one nearer to them.

I just take all my clothes off.

Bacteria builds up in the lines if you don't run the system for approx 15 mins every week.Once this happens it needs a service to clean out the offending smells it produces .Eggy smells will be likely down to a catalytic converter not the air con .

​ Replace your cabin filter and use an interior fogger with the air con on recirculating.

yes sorry can't read, it worked.

​no. I live in England. It's never hot.

Are you a new customer using the code?..

coming up as 32.95.

Did this last year, well worth it. Voted hot.

I'm not sure what would be causing your eggy smells but if the cleansing advertised is any good it should get rid of it.

I've seen videos on the net where you use something like a steaming kettle to clean out the AC system - I've never tried it myself but I'm sure this offer would be a step in the right direction and if that wears off and the eggy smells come back, then try the steaming kettle method?

I'm happy with Vodka :smile:. Just can't stand the current smell of EGG :confused:

Mine came back smelling like Vodka - we had a bit of a laugh as it was supposed to smell like Apples...lol

The smell disappears after a day though.

Mines fine and cold but smells quiet bad so we hold back using it (56plate Smax) will this sort the smells out??

It says that if there is a leak (which generally happens), they will neither go ahead with the recharge nor will they refund the money. Hence voted cold...

So you let the hot air in!

It's a shame it excludes Hybrids, Lexus want £99 to recharge my AC.

What is the likelihood it fill fix my climate control not being icy cold like it used to be up until a month or two ago?

I've had the car from new for 12 yrs and NEVER had a re gas :confused:

That's not fair

I've never used Groupon - can somebody confirm how this works?
As far as I can see, I use the link, apply the code and click on "buy", then register with Groupon and make the payment to them, they then email me a voucher to hand to ATS.
If that's right, I'm payingup front without knowing whether ATS will have a booking available at a time when I can get to them. Presumably I can't ring to book the car in until I've got the voucher.

Thanks. Used this offer a while ago, ATS were perfect. The car had only about half the refrigerant left, so quite a difference. No upselling or anything either.

my car has windows. That saved me 22quid already. High five me

I concur. My last car had issues with the air con. As soon as the temperatures soared, it cut out. It would kick in again once out cooled down a bit, then it finally gave up the ghost. £800 for a new unit meant it was time to trade it in.

Got this deal a few weeks back although not had time to use it yet :disappointed: hoping it will fix my lack of cold air - hot works fine but that isn't needed at the mo!

My aircon stopped working last year. Is this likely to fix it?

Darn just paid halfords £30

thanks op

Used Groupon and their ATS deals twice the last 18 months ... brilliant value and no problems with my local ATS Centre

Sweet nice 1 for this came at just the right time and for £22.95 BARGAIN!

Excludes electric and hybrid vehicles.

where do you enter discount code

Thanks!. Got it for £22.95 using a new email address.

Ordered with the code and received the voucher in my groupon account already. Great deal seeing as I had popped into my local mechanic today only to find that their air con recharge machine wasn't working. They charge £40 for it so a nice little saving ready for summer. Thanks OP!

ATS .Re-gas aircon and come out with 4 new tyres and full brake reline,as a ex fleet controller these were probably the worst culprits for charging for work which never needed doing .Great offer but best of luck with ATS.

Great for under 23 quid was waiting for a deal like this

thank you bought

cheers :smile:

I got immediate in my groupon a/c.

I used "welcome" instead for the £10 off, total cost £22.95.
one question where is the voucher?

Looks good for £22.95
