Keep cool this summer, with this celebration offer

The first Birthday offer starts today, and as its 15 years yes you guessed it's £15 off our normal prices.

We often get asked... Why have your air conditioning serviced???? Well there is the obvious one that it is not cold enough or it will not de-mist the windows. Your car can lose up to 15% of its refrigerant every year which can lead to the system having to work harder to keep you cool, which can on some cars lead to the engine working harder and using more fuel. Also a poorly performing system can cause a build-up of fungus, bacteria and other microbes growing inside causing a smell.

What is the difference between a regas and an Air conditioning service?
Well a regas is just that, we recover the existing gas from the system and vacuum it out , and then refill as required. And a service is as the regas but we will add a dye during the recharge of the system to enable us to check for leaks from the system, using a UV light. We also run a cleaner through the ducts of the heating system to kill any bacteria build up, and take away any nasty smells, carry out tests on the system controls, for both heating and cooling, and check that all is working correctly.

Can you do this on any make of car?
Yes to 95% of them, please call us with the make and model of your car, and we will be able to tell you there and then. As with car servicing and MOT, we can carry out an air con service to any car.

So if your air conditioning is not behaving itself call us today to make an appointment on 01280 812121 and speak to Paul or David.

What's behind the Showroom

Recently as we have been introducing customers to our service department, when they collect a New car. A few have been commenting that they never knew we repaired accident damage, or i didn't know you serviced all makes of car.
The highlight to this was a customer last week, who has lived in Buckingham for over 20 years, who said "I thought you just sold cars". So now I feel I need to explain exactly what we do, and it is a lot more than just sell cars. Although that is important to us, by far the repair and servicing is the biggest part of our business at Buckingham Ford,
  • We have an 8 bay Workshop that can service 95% of all cars and vans.
  • All our Mechanics have regular training, and did there apprenticeships with other brands.
  • Our Accident repair centre, covers insurance repairs and restorations.
  • We MOT all makes of car.
  • We carry out Air conditioning servicing on most vehicle makes.
  • We offer a Free vehicle health check to all our customers.
So next time you pass and see the showroom at Buckingham, just remember we are here to help with all your motoring needs.
