My 2008 Honda CRV had a problem with heat (wasn't getting any). The temp on the dash looked good, the fan worked, in fact sometimes I would get heat but not other times.
After "Googling" it, I thought that the Blend Door Actuator was bad, but after looking how to replace it I decided I didn't want to do it myself. I asked around and someone suggested Boulevard Tire.
I brought it to them and told that I really thought the Blend Door Actuator was bad. The told me they charge $115 for "Diag". SO thinking I was in good Hands I dropped it off.
A little while later they called to say that the determined that the thermostat was bad. I again suggested that the blend door actuator was bad and could they at least listen to hear if it working, they said yes. They called back and said they could hear the actuator so that it must be working and they wanted to replace the thermostat, I said OK.
Well, a little while later they called back to say the they still weren't getting "enough" heat they had to order the blend door actuator and would get it the next morning.
Went to pick it up, total charge $519.65!
Can't help but wonder why they didn't go the cheaper route first and replace the door (cost $90.80), like I said it was mostly to be the problem?
I'm someone that has worked on many cars over my life, so I know what I was talking about.
Would I recommend Boulevard Tire? Maybe not.
