In the middle of Vegas heat on our first Summer Vegas trip, my car's A/C stopped working. I've heard of Vegas heat, but just couldn't deal with the heat that goes beyond 110 degrees without A/C and searched for the next auto center I could spot (BIG mistake). I came across this auto center that we passed several times on Spring Mountain. The owner came out and asked me in Korean what was wrong and I told him my A/C stopped working. He was very friendly at first and told us to wait inside. I stepped inside to find many out-of-date ads and decors that made me wonder if I was in the 80s Korea. I took out my phone and started yelping the place just to make sure it was decent (how bad could it be?). All I could see in the reviews were "scammer," "don't go here," etc. I look over to my girlfriend with a panic in my expression: "what have we got ourselves into?"
An hour passes by and the owner comes back in the waiting room and says it's done. Wait. What? I'm used to auto centers telling me what is wrong with the car first and giving me an estimate before they perform anything on my car. He comes in and punches numbers and says it's $140--"a good deal" in his words. I become very skeptical of the "receipt" he gave me that just says "services" next to the prices and ask him for what exactly was done. He just mumbles that it's all explained on the bottom of the receipt and almost snatches my debit card and makes the payment. At this point, I'm just furious since there was random sentence that didn't describe what they did repeated three times on the bottom of the page.
Anyways, we go to the car and start the car. 5 seconds pass by, 30 seconds pass by, 1 minute passes by, 2 minutes pass by without cold air coming from the A/C. I go back inside to tell the owner that the A/C is still not working. He calls his mechanic and he works on it for another hour (that includes them running to the Auto Zone next door and getting a thermometer that they didn't have). I just wanted to get out of this scam hole, so as soon as they were "done fixing" my car, I drove off. The A/C worked fine until the next day when I had to drive it to another auto shop with a more reputable yelp reviews and they told me the Freon levels were too high and could cause damage in the long run.
Lesson learned: Please do yourself a favor and read reviews before you go anywhere!
