FAST fit and servicing chain Hi-Q Tyreservices is testing a new recycling and recharging service for air conditioning systems at its Nottingham branch.

The firm claims that garages have been put off offering the service, which makes sure the a/c systems are working at their full potential, due to high set-up costs. Managing director Paul Harrell said: 'Initial feedback has been very positive and we will be looking to introduce the service into other key stores later in the year if current progress is maintained.'
