Aircon Group Buy - Updated 7th June

[Rob]

Anyone interested in a group buy for airconditioning regassing should pm me with their reg number. This will be taking place next week Monday 12th - Friday 17th June. Simply head to Specialist Auto in Carrickfergus and give them your reg number and we should avail of the discounted price. The guys are only open 9-5 Monday to Friday, but if that doesn't suit (doesn't suit me!) a few of us could arrange to go down together and he says he'll keep the place open to do our aircon. Any night next week would suit me.

Could everyone interested please pm me asap so I can let John know how many people will be coming, along with their reg numbers if they haven't already done so

Group Buy Prices as follows:

1- 5 Cars - £50 each
6 Cars and over - £45 each

Post your name below if interested and when you'd be available. Aiming for 6+ people to bring the price down to £45.

2. Miniator - Toledo Confirmed
3. Gobsheene - Ibiza Confirmed
4. MiniMad - MX5
5. Halun - 320d Confirmed

pm MASSEY BURNOUT

swain auto electrics have been doing aircon regassing for a few years now, done my 200sx and was more than pleased

ask him to see if he can get prices for bulk buy

 

[Bibby]

boys a dear, a guy in ballyclare, known as the air con gas king, or chris barret is cheaper than that for 1 car! 1 car he does for around £60 never mind 5 cars at that
his number is 07702116513 and better than traveling to him, he will travel to you to do it!

 

[Rob]

Cheers lads, on the case

 

[pablo]

I think he quoted me more than 50 to do my m3 and that was me going to him.

 

[Gobsheene]

Ill be interested if the price comes down a bit more

 

[AIRFORCE1]

Scrob battered john a bit more on his price and the lowest he would go was
1 to 5 cars £50 each
6 and over £45 each

Call down and see his machine and get a feel for the good service he WILL provide for yourself

 

[Bibby]

45 divided by 6 is £7.50 per person lol

 

[Rob]

Good work AF1, updated the first post!

Surely can't be bad at that folks?

 

[MiniMad]

45 divided by 6 is £7.50 per person lol

sign me up lol



na, if it cums dwn to about 40ish i will be interested in gettin the mazda done

 

[Rob]

I thought me and Lyons were tight Not bad at £45 considering a lot of places are looking £80.

 

[miniator]

yeah, £45 is good with me.....i really cant stick the heat in the car and detest having the window down!!

1. Scrob
2. miniator

 

[Bibby]

sounds alot more reasonable! and f he has the machine like euro car parts sell, it will be an excelent job, cause not only does it remove the gas, it seperates the gas from oil, stores the old gas and then seperates the moisture from it, meaning it can be reused, it also does a full vacume and leak test on the car at the same time, well once the gas has been removed, then refills it, all you need to d is about 1 min of sietting up consisting of hitting buttons to set amounts of oil to go in, and gas to go in, and hit start, it's fully automatic and then does the rest for you

 

[AIRFORCE1]

yes bibby thats the machine he has

 

[Rob]

Good stuff, had read you have to be careful with the oil so as to not damage seals. Don't know a huge amount about it but sounds like this is the job

Will be so handy for the summer having aircon that actually works! Don't fancy the thought of sitting in traffic from work in a suit and tie with the sweat pishing outta me.. Hopefully feel like those white 406 taxis you get in Spain, ice cold

 

[Gobsheene]

45 divided by 6 is £7.50 per person lol

I dont understand what your gettin at there lad... its £45 each... not 6 cars for 45 quid!

for £45 put my name down too

 

[Rob]

Updated. 3 more folks and we've hit our £45 target

 

[MiniMad]

put my name down to. 45 is fair!

 

[Bibby]

Good stuff, had read you have to be careful with the oil so as to not damage seals. Don't know a huge amount about it but sounds like this is the job

not so much be careful with the oil, but you must not use oil from an opened container like one thats lying open or oil that has been lying around, plus there are different grades of oil to use depending on model and make of car, ONE OIL DOES NOT DO ALL!
plus the ac gas is actually the lubricant for most cars anyhow, though some manufacturers run a bit of oil for security!

believe it or not ALL MANUFACTURERS actually DONT run the right amount of gas in their systems from new! they ARE ALL BETWEEN 80+G SHORT OF WHAT THE GUIDELINES FOR THE VEHICLE ARE this being so as when you go in for a service they can check it and charge you again for it

 

[miniator]

has this been mentioned on any other website?? ie jon44w....

just an idea to get a few more names!?

 

[Rob]

Good thinkin batman. Will fire the link up on a couple now

 

[Rob]

I'm thinking about sometime around the start of June for this, how does that suit everyone else? If you could post up when you are or aren't available it would help move things along!
