The Team at Field's Car Centre
We are donating £1.00 from every MOT to Woking hospice
Here at Field’s we are raising funds for Woking’s Hospice as a ‘Business supporter’.
I’m sure you are aware of how charities are suffering right now with huge drops in revenue. I am sure most of us will know someone who has needed the services of the Hospice so it is close to our hearts.
The Hospice relies upon donations for 80% of its funding so we are looking to help raise those funds.
One of the ways is:
‘We are donating £1.00 from every MOT to Woking hospice’
(Booking a test at Field’s last year helped the Hospice by over £3,000)
Book your MOT
You can either book a while you wait slot or drop your car off and collect it at the end of the day.

Air Conditioing not getting you chilled? 🥶

Well it’s that time of year again !
The phones are ringing! “My air conditionings not working!”😡
We had a miserable May and now it’s Flaming June!☀️
I always say when we have a naff month of weather, the following is going to be glorious!
So some people are only now using their AC for the first time since last summer.
“You gotta use it all year round!”
Think of it like a dog.
You know to stay healthy a dog must exercise. So exercise your AC, all year round.
Now some think I’m mad saying use in the winter months.
“Why would I want chilled air in December!” 🥶
This is where the misconception comes in.
Putting your air conditioning on, it takes the heat and humidity out of the air. This chills the air and freshens it.
When it’s cold outside as in winter months, using your AC with the heater set warm or hot, will give you the same de-humified, fresher air. It will de-mist windscreen s much faster too.
You see the same fan that blows your heaters air used for the AC.
Most newer cars now have no option to turn the AC on or off. It is set on permanately. They have climate control that you just set the temperature you want the interior to be at.
With so many cars sitting idle for much of the past year, it’s likely that air con faults will emerge as the next ‘forgotten problem’ of lockdown,
Why?
Well here a ‘sort-of- technical’ bit so feel free to move on!
Air con systems are comprised of an network of pressure valves, and components that rely on airtight seals. There is a natural, gradual dispersal of gas throughout their lifecycles, in a loss of around five per cent gas each year. Prolonged periods of non-use can cause air conditioning seals to weaken, speeding up this process.
So folks your then losing more gas!
Eventually, this means the system can no longer operate efficiently, so shuts down.
And you ring Field’s………………………….😃
For help with your AC, whether you need a service or it's not working, you can

Stay cool this weekend!

𝗠𝘆 𝗔𝗖 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴!😡
This could be why………………….
This is Andre, one of our air conditioning technicians changing the AC condenser on a vehicle.
As you can see it is a ‘front off’ job.
Bumper , grille, panels removed to access what we call the ‘Condenser’. It sits in front of the cars radiator and as such is vulnerable to stone damage.
When we suspect a leak in an air conditioning system, we test for this using ‘Nitrogen’
The photo, shows the leak Andre found, gas escaping from a small pin hole.
If you AC is not chilling you enough or you know it’s not working, then we need to test the system.
It may just require a Service and re-gas.
Either way we can test, assess and cost the necessary course of action and so get you chilled again! 🥶

Last month we shut up early on a Friday and had the whole team meet up for a Staff Forum.
It is difficult to find time especially when you are a retail business open all day.
So we had to make the time to get everyone together and that meant shutting for an afternoon.
What we wanted to do with the staff was re-evalute our aim as a business, look at our purpose and vision for the garage in the next 5 years. We looked first at our past, then present, where we are now and finally to the future where we are headed in the evolving future of motor vehicles.
This year we have four members of our staff, celebrate a total of 90 years between them!
Keith our senior mechanic and mot tester; 30 years.
Chris Maple, who most of you know as running the workshop; 25 yrs,
Steve in the office ;20 years.
Finally, Sal in the workshop ;15 years.
So proud of these guys! They all received log service awards!
I then led the Forum looking at our core values and how we saw the future of FCC.
We had the guys tell us what they thought theses were and got them to consider and discuss in groups what FCC is really all about.
We got them to consider the customers perception of us.
Some of our guys have been here decades, others have joined in the last few years so we wanted to get them to help re-write our purpose.
Interestedly, what they came up with, was not much different from the vision Richard and I had when we started out 40 years ago!
‘To be the most Professional, Honest and Reliable garage in Woking’

“Confessions of a car mechanic!”
Have a look at these spark plugs that came out of a vehicle that the customer said was ‘Running and sounding like a bag of nails!
The second one from the left has water contamination. On the left is a new plug
Hardly surprizing as these look like they have never been changed.
Certainly not at any recent service!
Spark plugs on modern cars have been developed to last a lot longer, they can cover a higher mileage but, they still need changing at regular intervals. This will vary according to age, mileage and car use. If you are in doubt about when yours were last changed give us a call.
Let us put the SPARK back in your life!💥
