We had an appointment at another Honda repairman to get our A/C fixed but I decided to call around and we ended up at the ol' Hon-Man. I saw signs for dogs and a doggie door and observed that they are very doggie friendly. The office is small inside but they have a very comfy office to hold you over while you wait: computer station with free wifi, television, water, up to date magazines that you actually want to read, plush leather chairs, and a nice fish tank. He even has a bearded dragon!
It turned out to be the lesser of two evils that went wrong with our a/c but the price was still way cheaper to fix than Gene's, Whitey's (who tried to up-sell us), and Hontech. It was only $180 and it took only 45 minutes! He was even willing to work with us on a part if it happened to be the more expensive repair that was needed. I am very excited to have found a new, reliable mechanic. Bring on the 115 degree summer baby...
