So I started having ac issues in my truck and was told to get the Freon checked. I looked in Groupon and going a shop closer to my work and bought a coupon that offered recharge plus an ac diagnostics check in my ac, so I bought it. I arrived and explained to who on believe was the manager, or owner what I had bought and he tells me that there is no diagnostic, just recharge. I politely tell him what I purchased, and tells me they'll do it. 15 minutes later I'm told it's not the recharge of Freon, that my compressor is bad and it needs to be replaced I ask him about replacing it, he tells me that the part is not available anywhere and if they were to do the work I'm looking at $1,700 with parts and labor. I say okay and leave, hop on the phone with a friend of mine whos a mechanic, he gets online and finds the part within a minute, I order it and go to him to do the work. He scans my truck with an obd (which this place didn't do) comes back that a relay sensor is bad that costs $15-$30 to replace. This place is either trying to scam you or just too incompetent to do their jobs ethically. I do not recommend you go to these people who just want to get you to spend large sums of money things that aren't wrong. Absolute joke of a shop, and you should avoid them at all cost!<br>In reply to the owner,<br>I didn't bring you any freon, I brought my truck in for an inspection, and without hooking it up to scan it, or even do a proper diagnosis you told me it was my compressor and then quoted my $1700-$1800 to fix. It was damaged wires, not the compressor. You seemed annoyed that I was using a coupon, and even argued initially what the coupon included.
Great! And a Great deal!
Honest opinion, I drove over a hour to get a brake job done because the service is genuine. From the first experience, welcomed like family with the service to match. Itβs good people here.
Great work at a great price.
