Default Great discount aircon deal from Groupon/ATS Euromaster

Having sat unused for 8 years, my ZT's aircon was completely empty and as effective as a chocolate fire guard. Normal price for this county is £60 but in a moment of lucidity, I searched Groupon yesterday afternoon and found a £38 deal with ATS Euromaster. Called the nearest three branches - two were booked for a week but the third had a cancellation and said "C'mon down". Bought & paid for the Groupon deal, went straight down, and an hour later drove off with 500g (not ml, my bad) of new gas (it was empty) after they scanned the Groupon QR code and wished me a cool day. So nice to have aircon now.

Just for info.

Dougie.

Had mine done at AT Engineering in Gainsborough for £24.99 yesterday, took over an hour, full pressure test and a printout showing the amount of gas and oil in before and after the work. Worth checking them out if in Lincolnshire.

Wow!! That's a great deal. You'll see where I live too. I spent a while checking out plenty of places but that one never came up.

£650 gas?? Was that a hidden charge then?

The correct gas charge is 400-500g. See yellow label under bonnet.

To be accurate Dougie, it's grams.

That's too much Gordon. The maximum charge is 500g.

Just because you're right doesn't mean you're..... clever.

That's an absolute bargain, he will have the street full of cars waiting to be cooled at that price, and it seems it being done properly.

Well done on finding that one.
