G-Mac Auto Centre (AU20646) should be your first choice to take care of all your Automotive Air Conditioner Regas, Repair, Inspection or Servicing needs in Myaree and the surrounding areas. These days cars are often complex and just like the engine a vehicle's air conditioning system has components that need to be serviced or replaced on a regular basis to ensure continued reliable and efficient operation. As refrigerants gradually escape and evaporation occurs, the efficiency of your air conditioning system will diminish over time. This reduction in performance forces the system to exert more effort to maintain the desired temperature, ultimately leading to higher fuel consumption. For this reason, it is crucial to frequently evaluate the state of the rubber seals, checking meticulously for any indications of leaks or cracks that might be permitting the escape of refrigerant. Scheduling an annual service for your vehicle's air conditioning system can significantly contribute to preventing expensive repairs both now and in the future. By doing so, you also ensure the safety and well-being of your passengers by reducing the risk of harmful substances accumulating within the system. G-Mac Auto Centre care about the environment and have Arctick Authorisation (AU20646) to reliably and responsibly conduct automotive air conditioner regas, repair, inspection or servicing. Air conditioning FAQ How do air conditioners work? A car air conditioner system is composed of four essential parts : A belt-driven pump known as a compressor to compress and circulate gas. A radiator like unit called a condenser to redistribute heat and condense gas to a liquid. An expansion device, which could be a thermal expansion valve (TXV) or an orifice tube (subject to the kind of air-con system used). Some systems have an accumulator before the compressor to remove moisture from the refrigerant while TXV systems have a receiver-dryer before the evaporator performs the same crucial task. Both of these parts also store refrigerant. Car air conditioning is designed to pull the heat from the air within the car's interior area and transfer it outside, leaving only cooled or 'conditioned' air to be redistributed. Hot air is passed across a gas-filled evaporator, where the heat is easily absorbed by the refrigerant (in gas form), effectively removing the heat from the air in the car. The now heated gas is pulled through the compressor where it is further heated (via compression). The next stage involves the refrigerant being forced through the condenser to extract the refrigerant's heat quickly. The refrigerant, now condensed to a liquid, then moves through the expansion device (either a TXV or Orifice tube), which regulates the refrigerant's flow to the evaporator, changing the high-pressure liquid to a low-pressure mist (gas). A fan blowing over the evaporator's cold fins produces the cold air being blown into the car, and the entire process then begins all over again. Does the car air conditioner use more fuel? Yes! Your car air conditioning is using fuel. However, it's actually more fuel efficient to run car air conditioning than it is to have your windows down due to aerodynamic drag. If your air conditioning isn't performing its best, it may use more fuel to run. To avoid this, it's important that you have your air conditioning serviced regularly by professionals, like the ones at G-Mac Auto Centre.  What's the cause of the bad smell in car air conditioning? The damp environment can promote microbes, bacteria and even fungus growth inside the evaporator core. This can lead to nasty smells and possibly even be bad for the health of any vehicle occupants. Although modern evaporator units tend to be more efficient, they have more fins, meaning an increased capability to trap moisture and allow for micro-organism development. How do I know my car air conditioning is due for a service? If you cannot remember when your air conditioning was last serviced, perhaps it's time to book in with the team at G-Mac Auto Centre. You should also book in if: Your air conditioning system is blowing warm air There are damp patches or water stains under your dashboard Your car air conditioning system smells funny Your car air conditioning system is making strange noises There is weak air flow from the car air conditioning system Why does the car air conditioner need to be serviced? Car air conditioning is designed to pull the heat from the air within the interior area of the car outside, leaving only cooled or 'conditioned' air to be redistributed. This is achieved using a special compound called refrigerant, capable of readily absorbing heat as a gas and quickly losing heat as a liquid. The compressor needs the right amount of oil in the refrigerant to prevent it from seizing up. Should the air filters be jammed with dirt and bacteria, it will affect the entire system's performance, and it can even cause it to stop working altogether. On top of inhibiting air conditioner efficiency, dirty air filters can cause health problems. Being exposed to the elements and very diverse operating conditions and being used intermittently rather than being 'Always On' can cause decay of the hoses, connections and seals. A vehicle air conditioning system should be examined regularly to ensure there are no problems or refrigerant loss due to failure or leakage from these points. Simply by cooling the air in your car under normal running conditions, the air filters get dirty and intermittent use can cause seals to dry and crack, allowing them to leak. Even without leaks, the gas in a car air conditioning system will eventually begin to degrade or evaporate over time. It should be recharged as required to keep the air con system in peak running condition. How often should a car air conditioner be serviced? Your automotive air conditioning system needs to be examined once a year for any signs of problems with the seals, hoses and connections and confirm there is no refrigerant reduction over time. Regularly servicing your automotive air conditioner system keeps refrigerant at optimum levels meaning the system does not need to work as hard. This, in turn, protects the system from damage and minimises fuel expenditure. Can I service my own car air conditioner? Only qualified mechanics with the appropriate training, like the ones at G-Mac Auto Centre, should attempt to service a car air conditioner. Specific licences are required to service or repair some types of car air conditioning systems, especially where re-gas (recharging of the refrigerant) is concerned. Strict guidelines and procedures must be adhered to when handling certain refrigerants, which must always be fully recovered and not allowed to escape into the atmosphere during servicing. Refrigerant can also pose serious health risks if mishandled. Specialist equipment is also required as the air conditioning system is under extreme pressure and must be pulled into a deep vacuum to remove any moisture, to avoid seriously damaging the system. You can find out more about licensing on the Australian Refrigeration Council (ARC) Website. Book your car air conditioning service with the experts at G-Mac Auto Centre in Myaree today!

European and luxury car service

Western Australia is producing world champion apprentices like Dale McMullen who won gold in Automobile Technology at the Worldskills International Competition in Japan with his employer G-Mac Auto Centre and trainer Challenger TAFE helping him to produce the world leader result. WorldSkills International gold medallist Dale McMullen is fast on his way to big things after representing his country at the 39th WorldSkills International Competition at just 23 years of age - and it all started with a WA apprenticeship.  When he was a young boy mopping floors in his father's mechanical workshop, Dale couldn't have imagined that in just a few years he would be gracing the WorldSkills stage in Japan. But it seems that those years spent cleaning up after mechanics at G-Mac Auto Centre in Myaree were what gave Dale the edge over his competitors. It enabled him to win Best of Nation and a gold medal in the automotive mechanics category at WorldSkills in Japan in November 2007. "I think because I have had a lot of experience and been exposed to the industry for a long time, I was very adaptable," Dale said. "Also, the pressure didn't seem to get to me as much as the other guys." "As the employer of our only Gold Medallist in the 2007 WorldSkills Olympics, I feel an enormous sense of pride to see the next generations of talented mechanics preparing to again demonstrate to the world that Australia has the most energetic, skilled and determined young trades people in the world. With a shoestring budget, we have given notice to the world that we indeed are a force to be reckoned with. We have also shown that our trades people are world class young people, second to none. Together with my wife and all the staff of G-Mac Auto Centre, I wish you all a fruitful and successful trip. Good luck," says Graeme McMullen, wishing success to future competitors at international events and in everyday challenges. Commitment of dedicated mechanic  As the automotive mechanics representative in the Australian WorldSkills team, Dale had to compete in seven tasks at the international event in Shizuoka, Japan.  He did so well that he was recognised not only as the best in his trade, but as the best Australian overall competitor in the event. It's a proud achievement for the young mechanic who displayed exceptional dedication and commitment to get there, and had a strong, supportive team around him, also being able to draw heavily on the resources of his former training provider - Challenger TAFE. Dale completed his apprenticeship through Challenger TAFE in 2004 and lecturers have continued to support him in his quest for gold, which began with the State WorldSkills Competition in 2005 and the WorldSkills Australian National Competition in 2006.  Consultants of latest technologies Lecturer Shaun Holland gave up his spare time to tutor Dale once a week in the lead up to the national competition. Shaun helped Dale brush up on some of the basics that he hadn't been exposed to since he graduated. Then last year before the international competition, Howard Wilson, program manager of automotive industries and electrical trades at Challenger TAFE, was asked to help Dale who needed financial assistance to get the equipment he needed to train on.  With his strong industry links and networks, Howard managed to source and purchase a Nissan diesel engine and Nissan automatic transmission funded by Challenger TAFE for Dale to practice stripping and assembling techniques in record time. Howard and industry consultant Peter Hard of Contract Automotive Management Services were also proactive in arranging with the service managers at Prestige Honda and Magic Nissan - Platinum for Dale to visit their workshops and learn the latest technologies firsthand. The approach worked with Dale now essentially owning the title of the "Best Mechanic in the World", a phrase that doesn't sit too comfortably with the Bateman auto whiz. "I don't know about being that but it's fair to say the whole WorldSkills team that Australia sent over is the best in the world," Dale said. "Literally from the time I walked off stage in Japan I was doing media interviews and this continued on for some time after landing back in Oz. I've also been doing a lot of public speaking promoting skills and sharing my journey with people which has been an awesome experience". Dale say's work has been great with clients coming in saying "They read about me in the paper or on the TV and wanted their car repaired by the best!" Further car service development Since his win, Dale is now judging the State and national WorldSkills competitions and is even considering becoming a lecturer and, as you can imagine, is a big supporter of WA's training system. "I would definitely encourage people to consider an apprenticeship," he said. "There isn't that public perception that you have to go to uni to get a good job anymore. It's now also seen as good to get a trade and it all starts with an apprenticeship." Dale now works alongside his father specialising in the modern diagnostic areas, while his dad works in the traditional aspects. "Next year I'm going to focus more on the management side of my job and work towards one day owning and running my own business." For Dale, one of the perks of his trade is being able to work on his own car and build it to his own tastes. Dale's aim is to continue improving his skills and gain further experience, and is considering moving into Motorsport in the future. Asked for advice to future competitors on the WorldTrade stage, Dale had this to say: "The 12 months preparation running up to the event is absolutely critical, it is equally - if not more - important than the four days of competition. Over the next year you've not only got to train to be the best young trades person and competitor you can be, you've got to train to be prepared for anything, you never know what could happen over 4 days when you're in the 'pressure cooker' ! Aside from that enjoy it, the next 12 months will fly buy and before you know it you'll be on a plane to the event. GOOD LUCK!"
