Hon-Man literally saved me about $1,500. The A/C went out in our Civic and after taking it to a shop and spending $150 to diagnose I was told the compressor went out, and that because of this they would need to replace all major A/C components due to metal shavings. They quoted me over $1,600. So I called a mechanic friend for advice and told us that some shops can flush the system and recommended Hon-Man.
I called them up and they said worst case I'd be looking at $1,200 with the full flush, but said to bring it in first because it may be significantly less. I stopped by and Tait came out to look at it. He spent about 5 minutes tinkering with it and told me the clutch on the compressor just needed shimmed. He said he couldn't guarantee how long it would last, but he really thought it would fix it and if it didn't, he'd credit me toward the big repairs. $80 later and the A/C was blowing ice cold...and has been for 8 months! (Update 1/26/2016: A/C is still going strong 2 years later)
I really appreciate a shop that is willing to actually find the underlying issue instead of just throwing parts at it. It's refreshing to find a shop that actually cares about figuring out what's wrong instead of guessing.
