Air Conditioning Service by The MOT Centre

Your car’s air conditioning system, like every other part of it, requires a little maintenance to keep it working at its best. So don't wait until your air con stops working or you notice a bad smell—schedule a regular air conditioning service at The MOT Centre once every two years.

A well-maintained air con system will effectively cool your car during summer and demist the windows in winter. And it's not just about comfort and convenience. An effective air con system can even help you stay sharp and reactive behind the wheel by maintaining a comfortable cabin temperature.

Whether you need regular maintenance or a reliable repair, we’re here to help. Speak to your local First Stop mechanics about our air conditioning service in Kendal.

Frequently asked questions

An air con recharge refers to the process where the refrigerant is added to the car’s cooling system so that it can continue to blow cold air effectively.

When recharging a car’s air conditioning system, you need to be prepared with a compatible refrigerant gas. The refrigerant then needs to be measured using a digital gauge to check the diagnostics, this will let you know if there’s anything you need to be aware of such as leaks, and whether the pressure is low, good or over the recommended level. If the pressure is low, the system will be recharged.

If you’ve noticed that your air con isn’t working as it should, it’s a sign telling you that you need an air conditioning recharge. But don’t worry, we have you covered, we offer air conditioning services and can take care of everything and give it a good, thorough clean too.

Jack Atherton - October 24, 2025

"Best possible people to deal with when you are having car issues. Usually can be a very stressful situation but they made the experience stress free and were extremely helpful. I know where I’ll be going for anything in the future. Thanks to Tom and the rest of the team for helping me with my Ford that broke down."

"Tom went over and above to sort out an issue with our e208, which had failed its MOT due to a rear brake fault. He is very knowledgeable and determined, and stayed after hours, working late until it was sorted, and was friendly and cheerful with it!"

"I can’t recommend The MOT Centre, Kendal enough! I’m not from the area but had an issue with my car while in town, and they kindly got me in the same day. Even though I had to leave the car with them, their professionalism and communication were absolutely brilliant. They had the car back to me within a week, and after months of my warranty company dragging their feet, the team here worked tirelessly to push my claim through. Honestly, they went above and beyond to help me out, and I’m so grateful. Top-notch service, great people, and true dedication to their customers — I’d recommend these lads time and time again for anything car-related. 👍"

"Had an issue with my Porsche Panamera whilst on a road trip to Lake District. Randomly dropped into this garage. They identified the problem, provided a temporary fix, informed me of the part numbers I needed and sent me on my way within the hour. Tom the garage owner was a true professional - he was very knowledgable, efficient and helpful. This is exactly the type of local business we should all support."

"I was on holiday with my two kids from the southwest corner of UK. The last thing I wanted on my holiday was a broken car. I have no words to express my gratitude to this amazing group of people here. They were so kind, and helpful, professional and despite their busy schedule they took every effort to sort my car out (the whole clutch system in mechanical terms)so that I could be back home with my kids on time. I reached back home safely and the drive was so smooth. Thank you for all your hardwork.i would highly recommend to everyone.!!!"

"Our engine light came on so we needed our car seen to immediately as we were on holiday locally with a long drive back to Birmingham! They managed to fit my car in with no trouble, gave us lots of advise and options. The guy we dealt with had exceptional knowledge and reassured us completely. After my car was dealt with, we were able to collect it really quickly and everything was great! We cannot thank you enough for helping us with a short turn around. We are delighted!! I highly recommend this garage!!"
