So.....I called him out again and THIS time he performed a few diagnosis but came up empty handed. Just as he was about to throw in the towel and leave, I asked him if he had a freon leak detector. He told his helper to go retrieve the leak sniffer. After waving it around the evaporator, the leak detector went off LIKE A FIRE ALARM. WOW! coulda had a V8!

Thanks. You are right about the service guy having a dim bulb.
Another possibility is it has to do with they way he gets paid by the insurance company. He could be milking the insurance company.
When I worked as a Mechanic I had seen my Boss listen to the Engine and tell the Truck owner (the Foster Farms Chicken company) the Fuel injection Pump was the cause of his miss when the first thing we normally would have done was test the Injectors.
We removed the Fuel Injection Pump and rebuilt it and re-installed it and of course the miss was still there and we then had to remove the Injectors and test them. Which of course was more Money for the Shop.
My Boss's comment on it was they are a big Corporation and have plenty of Money.
Well the miss got fixed and they were happy but they did not know we did not follow the proper trouble shooting order.
