My complaint is mostly the shoddy bodywork, which I thought I had all corrected. They are really a insurance collision center, rather than making actual sound body work. It is a shame, because the business is over 40 years old and owned my a Mexican immigrant and run by the family. I think they mean well, but hardly there, so the shop hands do most.

As an example of there greatness, they filled the cooling system and were then beyond mad when the water pump sprayed coolant all over the shop. It was beyond obvious the radiator made contact with the fan.

The A/C leak is from one or both the valves. I have known about it for a while, but hoped the caps with rubber rings seal the system. However, I was wrong. Instead of fiddling around, it is time to go all out and get this system taken care of all at once.
