Same workshop since 2009

Look for the blue sign on Martin Drive.

A1 Auto Air has traded out of Delacombe for over seventeen years. It's a working shed, not a showroom: hoists, a wall of parts, and whatever needs fixing that week, from someone's daily driver to a classic on stands.

Customers keep saying the same things. The fault gets found properly, it's explained in plain English, and the price is fair. One driver had been quoted more elsewhere for a repair that wouldn't even have fixed the problem.

What we fix

Air con first. The rest of the car too.

Warm air from the vents, a slow leak, an electrical gremlin. Bring it in and it gets looked at properly before anyone quotes you.

Core work

Air conditioning repairs

Air con blowing warm or not at all? The system gets checked properly, the fault found, and you're quoted before any work starts.

Core work

Regas

Once a leak is sorted the system is regassed, so the air coming out of the vents is properly cold again.

Core work

Leak finding and repair

From a failed hose to a pipe damaged on a country road, leaks are tracked down and repaired rather than just topped up.

Workshop

Auto electrical

Electrical faults diagnosed and repaired in the same workshop, so you're not being passed from one business to the next.

Parts

Hard-to-find air con parts

Stocked shelves floor to ceiling. Parts like Schrader valves for European vans that other places couldn't help with.

Workshop

Diagnosis, quotes and repairs

A full assessment, a clear quote with parts options where there are any, and the repair done promptly.

Not sure what's wrong? That's what the diagnosis is for.

The workshop

Shelves full of parts. Cars of every kind.

Step inside and you'll see why people with awkward jobs end up here. The racks run to the roof, and the cars on the floor range from a Porsche 911 to a Mustang to a classic wagon on stands.

How a job goes

No guessing, no surprises.

  1. 01

    Evaluate

    Your car gets a full assessment to find what's actually causing the problem, not just the symptom.

  2. 02

    Quote

    You're told what's wrong and what it'll cost, with options for the parts where there are any.

  3. 03

    Repair

    The work gets done promptly and explained well, so you drive away knowing what was fixed.

A1 Auto Air are fantastic. They evaluated my car, quoted me, and had it repaired within 3 business days. I had gone elsewhere for a quote previously that was much more expensive and would not have even fixed the issue. Thankful that the team are thorough enough to do a full assessment, and also provide options for the parts needed to repair. They made everything easy and with friendly service to top it off. Thanks A1

5 stars plus some. These guys did a fantastic job getting the air con in my F250 ice cold again after getting a leak in the back roads of OZ. Prompt and affordable. Quality workmanship. Honest and reliable communication. Fixed the holy pipe and regassed me.
