Air Conditioning Shop

Postby ronaldtrotter on Fri Jul 23, 2010 2:18 pm

This is not for my Porsche but my Dodge truck. On a drive to Monterey the Air was good up to about 80 degrees outside temp. After that not very good at all. Anyone have a recommendation and/or experience with an honest and good Auto Air Conditioning repair shop.,

my buddy is a tv repair man. He has a wicked set of tools he lets me borrow. I can fix it.

but seriously, Ian has my gauges. Check the freon pressure first before you take it anywhere. If pressure is still good. check fuse. if fuse is still good... roll down the windows and take it to Secores old shop. I have met a few of the guys and they are pretty straight up about ****.

Take care

There's a place on Balboa at Clairemont Drive that was recommended to us for air-con issues. The guy is supposed to be really good with both Freon and R134 ... or whatever it is. It looks like a funky Tune-Masters kind of place (former gas station) but the guy there is an air-con wizard.

Good luck!
