Air ConditioningAC systems slowly lose refrigerant (often referred to as gas) over time. But Highams can re-charge the AC system for any car. Have the system sanitised every year to remove bacteria.

Your manufacturer warranty is safeIt is a common misconception that only a main agent can service your new car whilst within the warranty period. Under the ‘Motor Vehicle Block Exemption Regulation’ you cannot be obliged, as a condition of warranty, to have your car serviced by a franchised dealer. The work can be carried out by an independent garage as long as that garage uses manufacturer approved parts and correctly follows the manufacturer’s service schedule. . This is something that we at Highams have always done. This is not always the case with all independent garages and fast fit chains.
