MiST™ Ultrasonic Cleaning System for Car Air Conditioning service in Rockhampton

While half of Australia is enjoying their dry season up here in the North, the Southern half of the country is bracing for a wet winter.

Winter in Rockhampton, Queensland, is generally mild, but cooler temperatures and occasional damp conditions can still affect driving and vehicle performance. 

Tyres may lose grip on wet or dewy roads, especially early in the morning, increasing the risk of skidding. Additionally, colder weather can lead to a drop in tyre pressure, which can reduce fuel efficiency and handling. 

Batteries may also face strain in cooler temperatures, making it important to ensure they are in good condition to avoid unexpected issues. 

Keeping up with regular maintenance and staying alert to changing road conditions can help drivers navigate safely during the winter months. During every service our qualified mechanics will visually check over the important components of your vehicle and provide you with a written report on the condition of your vehicle. We can then help you understand any concerns which may need to be attended so that you can drive safe this winter with Robo's MotorWorks and Repco Authorised Service.

Who hasn't had that moment when you turn on the wipers at the first spot of rain and remember that at the end of last season you should have replaced them! Your windscreen wipers are exposed to the full force of the Australian sun all year round and wear out. A good quality wiper blade like Trico is essential to help you see your way clear regardless of the weather. Robo's MotorWorks can recommend a wiper blade or assembly that is right for your car.

Fluids and other parts in your car can be impacted by cold weather; such as coolants, oils and items such as glow plugs in diesel vehicles. It's important to get your vehicle regularly serviced by an expert who knows the correct parts and products for your particular vehicle make and model. We use high quality NGK glow plugs and Penrite oils and fluids that are designed for Australian conditions.  

3. Change your driving style to suit wet weather

Conditions change - and you need to adjust, as well. In wet weather or poor visibility, slow down and leave a larger than normal stopping distance between yourself and the vehicle in front. Drive on the safe side and book in today for a service or a 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report.

There are some tell-tale signs that your brakes need investigation, like vibrating, spongy or slow responding brake pedal, strange sounds or difficult handling when applying pressure to your brakes. If you notice any of these it's best to have a qualified mechanic check it out. Brake inspections form part of our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report, so if you have concerns call us today and book in.

Driving on tyres which are not inflated correctly will not only cost you extra fuel; it can also impact your ability to brake effectively. You can usually find manufacturers recommendations on a panel inside the driver side door.

Driving on worn tyres is dangerous. Now is the time to inspect your tyres. If your tyres are wearing unevenly, this could indicate that your shock absorbers or some other vital part of your steering and suspension systems are due for service or replacement. Find out more about the components that affect your tyre wear on the links below:

While the folks down south may be turning on the heater in Winter, those of us who enjoy living in the warm Far North Queensland like Rockhampton often need to cool down even in Winter.

Todays vehicles are quite complex and just like the engine a vehicle's air conditioning system has components that need to be serviced or replaced on a regular basis to ensure continued reliable and efficient operation.

Low refrigerant due to leaks or evaporation means your air con system will begin to deteriorate and will have to work harder, which means you burn more fuel.

Therefore it's important to regularly examine the condition of the rubber seals for any signs of leaks or cracking which could be contributing to a loss of refrigerant.

RAS Auto Facts - Air Conditioning

Getting your car's air conditioning serviced once a year means you can assist protection from 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 vehicle air conditioner system actually saves you money because expends less fuel.

Car Air Conditioning Servicing Reduces Fuel Costs and Protects Your Health. So keep your cool with less fuel this summer with an Air Conditioning Service from Robo's MotorWorks

Car Air Conditioning Service in Rockhampton

The control system in a car’s air conditioning (A/C) system is a critical component that orchestrates the operation of various parts to ensure the desired cabin temperature is achieved and maintained. Given the warm weather in Queensland, optimal car air conditioning is essential all year round. Robo's MotorWorks in Rockhampton offers comprehensive Air Conditioning Services to keep your car cool and comfortable. 

Here’s a detailed overview of the control system, its components, how they interact, and what happens when they fail:

1. Switches: These include the A/C on-off switch, fan speed controls, and mode selector (e.g., defrost, floor, vent).
      - Function: The switches allow the driver to activate the A/C system, adjust the intensity of airflow, and select how the air is distributed within the cabin.
      - Failure: If a switch fails, the A/C system may not turn on, the fan speed may not be adjustable, or the air distribution might be stuck in one mode, compromising comfort.

2. Sensors: These include temperature sensors, pressure sensors, and humidity sensors.
      - Function: Sensors monitor the temperature inside the cabin, the pressure within the A/C system, and the humidity levels to provide real-time data for the system’s control unit.
      - Failure: A failed sensor can lead to incorrect temperature readings, causing the system to overcool or undercool the cabin, or even shut down entirely if it detects abnormal pressures.

3. Thermostat: Specifically, a thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) or an orifice tube, along with an interior thermostat that monitors and regulates the desired cabin temperature.
      - Function: The TXV regulates the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator based on temperature readings, ensuring efficient cooling. The cabin thermostat allows the user to set the desired temperature.
      - Failure: A faulty TXV can lead to inadequate refrigerant flow, causing poor cooling performance. A malfunctioning cabin thermostat can result in inaccurate temperature regulation, making the cabin too hot or too cold.

For quality air conditioning services trust Robo's MotorWorks (AU44604) in Rockhampton to keep your vehicle's A/C system in peak condition, ensuring comfort all year round.

- Switches serve as the user interface, sending commands to the control unit based on driver inputs.
- Sensors feed continuous data about the environmental conditions to the control unit, which processes this information.
- Thermostat provides critical feedback on temperature levels, allowing the system to make adjustments in real-time.

- Switch Failure: Loss of control over the A/C functions can occur. For instance, if the A/C switch fails, the system won’t activate, resulting in no cooling. If the fan speed control fails, airflow may become fixed, limiting comfort.
- Sensor Failure: Incorrect data from sensors can lead to various issues. A faulty temperature sensor might make the system overcompensate by running the compressor unnecessarily, leading to freezing temperatures or shutting down the system if it detects a false high-pressure reading.
- Thermostat Failure: If the TXV or cabin thermostat fails, the system may either overcool or undercool the cabin. A malfunctioning TXV might lead to the evaporator not cooling enough or becoming too cold and freezing, while a faulty cabin thermostat might not trigger the compressor correctly, causing discomfort.

The control system in a car’s air conditioning setup is vital for the seamless and efficient operation of the A/C system. It encompasses switches for user control, sensors for environmental feedback, and a thermostat for temperature regulation. These components work together to ensure optimal cabin comfort. Failure of any part can lead to inadequate cooling, excessive energy consumption, or complete system shutdown, highlighting the importance of regular maintenance and timely repairs. 

Robo's MotorWorks care about the environment and have Arctick Authorisation to reliably and responsibly conduct automotive air conditioning service (AU44604). The ARC Tick of approval helps ensure technicians have the skills and knowledge to correctly undertake service and repairs of refrigerated air conditioning to minimise environmental impact.

To keep your car working at it's peak condition at all times, make sure to regularly visit your car service. Professional diagnostic and experienced mechanics will often direct your attention to things otherwise unnoticed, saving you costly repairs in case of breakdown. As a moving mechanical vehicle, your car has parts that wear down during normal using conditions - brakes, ball joints, wheel bearings, suspension etc. If suspicious items are not treated in a timely manner, they can deteriorate further turning a simple and easy fix into a costly repair, many times more expensive.

Acknowledging that vocational education prepares students for further training and employment, the Australian Vocational Student Prize promotes the value of gaining vocational skills while at school. Giving national recognition to achievements in vocational training completed in secondary education, the Australian Vocational Student Prize has been awarded to Robo's MotorWorks apprentice mechanic Ethan Brewster.

While still attending Year 11, Ethan joined the Rockhampton car service in 2010 as a light vehicle mechanical apprentice and has been repairing vehicles ever since. Ethan enjoys the opportunity of realising his childhood dream - getting to know what's inside a vehicle that makes it move. Today Ethan is thrilled to work on cars daily and fixing everything and anything mechanical.

Receiving national recognition for his hard work motivates Ethan even more on his mechanic journey as he is putting the $2000 prize towards further education. The Rockhampton car service workshop manager Peter Robinson is delighted in Ethans progress, as Ethan had shown great passion for the trade since day one and has only improved since.
