  13. We cannot check pipes under the vehicle for leaks for cars with a rear evaporator.

  16. CCTV is in operation at our premises, and servicing may be recorded.

  17. You are paying us to carry out an air conditioning service on your vehicle including the gas, even if your car air conditioning is working or not after the service.

We do not offer refunds in the event you decide not to get the repair rectified.

3-Month Leak Guarantee Terms and Conditions

Car air conditioning systems operate at high pressure, making them susceptible to leaks caused by internal or external corrosion. Impacts from debris like stones hitting the condenser (which resembles a radiator behind the front grille). Sudden seal failures under pressure or malfunctioning pressure relief valves on compressors can all cause the gas to leak out.

To provide you with peace of mind, Staykool offers a 3-month leak guarantee on our car air conditioning services when you request the Extreme Sealer Additive.

Additionally, we prioritize bookings to ensure you can get a re-gas within a few days, especially during the busy summer months when we can be booked weeks in advance.

We believe in transparency and honesty, with no hidden clauses. Please review the terms below to qualify for the guarantee:

  • You must inform us of the leak, ie it has stopped working, within the 3-month period, and repairs should be carried out by a recognized garage or one of our recommended mechanics, with proof of invoice for the repair, before we can carry out the free re-gas.

  • Please ring or text us, so we can book you in immediately to locate the leak. DO NOT BOOK ONLINE, to save you the appointment charge. We will fit you in usually within 2 days for free.

  • Only one claim is permitted within the 3 months from the original service date.

  • You must have requested the Extreme Leak Additive.

  • If the air conditioning issue is mechanical and not due to a leak we will have to charge £35 for the appointment slot.

  • If repairs are conducted by a garage other than our recommended mechanics and a leak persists due to bad workmanship from a leaking seal, a £35 appointment charge will apply. No charge applies if one of our recommended mechanics is used.

  • We do not offer this guarantee to cars with rear air conditioning as we can not check for leaks under the vehicle, as mentioned in our terms.

  • This guarantee covers only the full-price service and excludes promotional offers, such as the £18 Offer for previous customers between October and March or any other reduced-priced promotions we may offer.

 Data Protection and Privacy:

  • We adhere to data protection regulations. Your personal information will only be used for service-related communication and will not be shared with third parties.

 Force Majeure:

  • We are not liable for any delays, failures, or damages caused by events beyond our control, such as natural disasters, strikes, or government actions.

 Indemnity:

  • You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, losses, or damages arising out of your use of our services.

 Changes to Terms:

  • We reserve the right to update these terms and conditions. Please print copy for the terms which will remain binding when your booking was made.

 Dispute Resolution:

  • Any disputes or concerns should be brought to our attention promptly, and we will strive to resolve them amicably.

 Customer Satisfaction:

  • We value customer satisfaction. If you have concerns or feedback, please contact us promptly for resolution.
