I know not to go there again!
I stopped in there about 2 years ago because my A/C was not putting out max cold air. They took the car in the back and after a few minutes the "mechanic" appeared from the back with a serious look on his face to inform me that my whole A/C system was "shot" and would require replacement. The service writer wrote up an estimate for around $2200... BUT, he suggested I try just recharging the system for around $79 first to see if that worked, which I did.

Here I am a couple of years later and the A/C is still working great! Guess the "mechanic" needed a refresher course on A/C diagnostics. If you're not mechanically savvy I would watch out here.
