I need someone to inspect my car and see what the issue is. I believe there may be something wrong with the aircon. When I turn the car on, sometimes it sounds like a sloshing noise. The aircon also only works occasionally on super high now, and a passenger has commented that they felt something dripping on their feet when the aircon was on.

Nathan is a lovely human who has a keen eye for detail, is efficient, keeps you informed and does great work. I know more about my car and how it works than I ever did prior to meeting him. Would 100% recommend him to others.
