How often should I use the aircon in my car?
How often should I use the aircon in my car? I read blogs and they say it should be used all time. I have a 2016 Vauxhall Astra.

All the time. The car's ventilation system is designed to operate with the air-con switched on 100% of the time. Switching off the air-con for long periods will result in the joints drying out and the refrigerant gas escaping. You will also risk compressor seizing up.

How often should the aircon be serviced on my car?
I had followed your advice to always keep the air con switched on, and to good effect in that with my vehicle owned from new for 20 years it has always worked fine without ever even needing re-gassing....
How can I trust a garage charging me for an air con regas to not put the cheaper gas then charging me for the dearer gas?

Solid all-rounder that’s good in all areas, cheap to run, excellent value as a used car and loads around, five star Euro NCAP rating.
