Problem: The A/C was out on my Honda Passport.
[[I was referred to Arizona Import Specialists by Hon-Man just down the street. I drive a Honda Passport, which as many know is an Isuzu Rodeo with an H on the front.
I was disappointed that Hon-Man wouldn't work on it, but happy that he was willing to share his business with another local shop.]]
I came here yesterday and found out that they were booked for the day. They kindly offered to keep my truck overnight and for $24 I could rent a car from them. I declined thinking that I would be stuck with enough charges in the end.
I brought the car the next morning at 8 when the shop opened. I was informed that their would be a diagnostic fee of $86, and they would call me to determine which actions were necessary from there.
About 3 Joel called me and let me know that my freon was gone and that is why the ac wasn't working. They evacuated the lines, ran a vacuum leak test and added freon and a dye to test for future leaks.
I expected a several-hundred-dollar bill, and for the mechanic to recommend several costly repairs. Boy I was wrong. Joel explained to me that in my case the best option was to just refill the freon and check for leaks later.
I came out of there with cold A/C and a bill of only $146!
Long story short, they explain the options well and don't try to gouge you on the prices.
p.s. - I asked and they work on domestic vehicles also :)
