Motorists may already be aware that getting important car parts checked can help keep them and their loved ones safe on the road.

However, they might not have given too much thought to ensuring their vehicle’s air conditioning unit is working properly.

But, according to Kwik-Fit, this car part can play a vital role in road safety.

Research by the company found eight per cent of arguments behind the wheel are attributed to being trapped in a hot and stuffy auto.

Despite this, the firm claimed many drivers neglect to have their air conditioning units checked as often as they should.

Customer services director David White suggested this could be a mistake.

He commented: "As mercury rises this summer, motorists could find themselves getting extremely hot under the collar."

Meanwhile, people may find they can get a good deal on air conditioning car spares – or even climate control parts – by searching online.
