I’ve debated posting, but this shts getting old. Customer went to a local tire shop with an hvac blower concern, low air flow from the vents. Shop had the vehicle for a day. Customer was quoted just over $180 to evacuate/recharge the system plus dye. Luckily, he’s got a brain and declined, then brought me the vehicle. Cabin filter had never seen a pair of eyes. I did double check the hvac system in the event they had fooled with it…wouldn’t you know, pressures looked excellent, we recovered spec freon and it held vacuum over night without issue. $24 filter. No, I did not charge him for the evac and recharge, although it took time. Sometimes it’s about reassuring folks that honest people still exist.
Additionally, Evac and Recharge for $180 on a 134 system is fkn wild!
