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 On The Move Mechanical Repairs in Preston 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: Headaches Fatigue Poor concentration Migraines Nausea Asthma attacks Allergy Flare-ups Respiratory Infections "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 On The Move Mechanical Repairs in Preston 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.

Brake fluid transfers the pressure you put on the brake pedal through to the actual brakes.
Without the brake fluid your brakes quite simply would not work. As everyone knows - not having brakes is a huge problem! In fact even slightly affected brakes are very dangerous.
 Why is brake fluid replacement necessary? Brake fluid absorbs moisture very easily. Brake fluids are also subject to very high temperatures and so they are designed to have a high boiling point to stop them from boiling and evaporating- when brake fluid has accumulated too much moisture- this lowers its boiling point and it can boil off more easily causing low levels. Low levels of brake fluid affect your braking performance and could mean your car will fail to stop.
Brake Fluid that has absorbed too much moisture will also shorten the life of your braking system including damaging the callipers, wheel cylinders and anti-lock braking systems. How often should I replace my brake fluid? Your manufacturer's log book will advise how regularly your brake fluid should be changed or flushed, we recommend a drain and replacement every two years however it is wise to have it regularly checked by an expert at every service to make sure the levels are not reducing too fast (a sign of a leak) or that the moisture levels have not reached a point that could be damaging your system. Do you check the brake fluids during a car service? At On The Move Mechanical Repairs we offer a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report, upon request, with every full car service which includes a written review of your brake fluid, master cylinder, front and back discs and pads, callipers and cylinders and more. This inspection helps to identify any issues in your vehicle which should be addressed and our mechanics will certainly advise you if they feel your vehicle might need a brake fluid replacement, or an out of schedule brake system service or repairs.

Without the brake fluid your brakes quite simply would not work.

Brake fluid - what is it and why do I need it? 

On The Move Mechanical Repairs (AU34159) are the wise choice to carry out all your Automotive Air Conditioning Regas, Repairs, Servicing or Inspection needs in Preston and the surrounding areas. Modern cars are extremely complex and just like the engine a vehicle's air conditioning system has elements that need to be serviced or replaced on a regular basis to ensure continued reliable and efficient operation. Is keeping your cool costing you fuel? Leaks or evaporation of refrigerant will mean your air con system will begin to deteriorate and will have to work harder, raising your overall fuel usage. Therefore it is important to regularly carry out an appraisal of the condition of the rubber seals for any signs of leaks or decline which may point to a loss of refrigerant. A car air conditioning service once a year means you assist in protecting the air-con against 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 conditioning system actually saves you money because it reduces fuel usage. On The Move Mechanical Repairs care about the environment and have Arctick Authorisation (AU34159) to reliably and responsibly conduct automotive air conditioning regas, repairs, servicing or inspection.
