Air Con Specialist Workshop - L & Kim (Ubi)

[Danielchien]

How about topping up aircon gas. What is the cost like? Mine sort of follow the weather.....morning quite cold except in the afternoon, not cold!

[Kiadaw]

I just checked. 33Deg C for the coming week! Have global warming finally caught up with Singapore.

 

Do they close the school or stop military training?

topping up aircon gas at most $20

Home and car aircon work in a totally different environment.

 

For home, pipings are sealed, and there is almost zero vibration.

For car, pipings have joints, prone to leak and corrosion, vibration is part of the killer.

 

So don't think home aircon no need maintenance means car aircon no need.

in terms of skills, are they as good as tomika?

This is one WS I will never go again in my whole life.

 

Told me had to replace compressor $500.

 

Until I found I only needed to replace the magnetic clutch $200.

 

Go if you have money to burn.

so did you replace the compressor or magnetic clutch?

so did you replace the compressor or magnetic clutch?

I found out too late after I changed the compressor.

Sad...

 

Did you discuss with the workshop on the aircon fault scenario before committing to go ahead with their recommdation?

[Jamesc]

Yes I did.

 

First the worker checked my car and then the manager checked my car.

 

And they told me I needed to change the compressor.

 

And there were right. Changing the compressor at $500 really solved the problem.

 

However changing the magnetic clutch at $200 will also solve the problem.

 

If I believed they did a good job, I will tell everybody.

 

However if people reading this still want to go to L & Kim, please don't let me stop you.

 

But as you can imagine I will NEVER ever go to this workshop again in my life.

I kept the old compressor to check on the magnetic clutch.

 

I still have the old compressor in my store room and any expert can verify

 

if they like.

[Cephas]

Are your aircon still icy cold nowadays?

 

 

 

[Hermit]

for my past 2 rides, just remove a stoopig washer will do- wear n tear over time and jammed the contact for compressor to kick in.

Damage- $10-20.

Seems like quite difficult to find honest air con workshop. Last time went to Tomika and was told to change compressor. End up after changing, still need to go back few times cos not cold. Finally, was told due to some blocked valve n dun know what silica broken. Still need to pay for those repair cos not related to compressor. Till today, I'm still wondering if really need to change compressor in the 1st place.

So which shop can really check whether it's compressor or clutch problem. I went to one shop last week and the shop say need to change compressor. Then another shop said gas a bit low and they top up gas. So far it's ok.
