I learned about this shop through a family friend. My boyfriend and I had just bought a car, and we needed a place for it to get smogged.
We live in Silverado Ranch so it is a bit of a drive, but well worth it! It passed and we got it registered at the DMV.
A couple weeks later I noticed it started blowing hot air out the A/C. I called them for pricing, and although they didn't give me pricing (number of things could be wrong with the A/C!) I decided to drive down there anyway, since they treated us well last time!
Upon arrival, I told the guy, Bill I believe was his name, that I had called earlier and he said, "Oh yeah I remember you. The thing is, that kind of stuff you usually have to set an appointment. We're really busy today. but let me see if [so-and-so] can at least take a look."
The mechanic pulled in my car and started at it!
He put freon into the car, and also put a tracer dye so if/when it leaks out, they'll know where the leak is so it'll be easier/faster to fix! They also explained that A/Cs are a sealed system so when it does blow warm/hot air, it's got a hole/leak. I'm a girl that doesn't know much about cars, so it was nice for the small educational lesson!
I got to talking with the guys, and they said themselves: usually a small town shop like this will be up front and honest, because for the most part, their clients are local people they'll see everyday at the grocery store or school game and they wouldn't want a bad rep!
It took about 20 minutes all together and I was set...FOR BEING A WALK-IN! They are awesome guys there!
I HIGHLY recommend this shop, as you never know who to trust and who is is gonna rape you for hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars, especially if you're a woman that doesn't know squat about cars!
Unfortunately my car is blowing warm air again, but that means it has a leak somewhere, so I'm going to call them today to set up an appointment...don't wanna die in this Vegas heat!!
It can be a long drive to K.C.'s depending where you live, but I can assure you, you'll know you'll be treated fairly and won't have to worry about getting ripped off like 9/10 of shops out here in Vegas.
