Ok so I recently relocated from California to Arizona and can I say? It is HOT over here. So when my ac stopped blowing cold, I almost cried. I knew it had leak because i put freon myself and it leaked super quick. I took the day off from work to go to a mechanic up the street who said he would see it first thing. I couldn't go on driving like this in 3 digit temperature. When I got there he said he was slammed and to come back later or leave my car and come in 4 hours and see if maybe they could get to it...Are you kidding me?? I was pretty frustrated at this point and drove around hoping ANY repair shop could see me. Nobody was willing to even take a look at it. I probably went to about 6 places. Some guy even told me he would need to put dye in and wait 3 hrs to see if leak would show. My last shot was AJ'S and I'm glad I stopped. The guy up front I guess saw my exasperation and said his guy was going to lunch pretty soon but he would have him check car so we can at least know how long repair would take.
He then came and told me that it was a low side service port (whew!) He said luckily they were about to repair everything was available to them and if I agreed with price we could fix. that they would repair and load the freon- in about 30 min. I guess manifold hose also showed leak and at that point that would be another repair. It was a little more than what I was ready for. He was very gracious and said he understood and to think it out. I ended up going with a friend of my brother in laws to fix it. I can't blame AJ'S for being more expensive as he does have overhead. But all in all a really nice guy and I won't forget soon how he was so quickly able to see me when everyone else would not.
The only reason I gave it 3 instead of 4 or 5 is because my car wasn't really fixed. Otherwise best mechanic I've been to
