5 /5 Raymond Nope: Nice to find an Honest shop these days! Thank you guys!!
I dont often write reviews, but decided it was the least I could do after the great help I received from the guys at East Texas Auto Air and Glass.
I took my family van to another shop nearby and was told that they couldnt get the a/c to hold a charge due to leak on the compressor, and it would be $2600 to replace the front and rear air components and the compressor. My van probably isnt worth more than $5000 so that was a big deal! With summer arriving, and our 7th child on the way, I had to do something, but then decided to ask a few friends if they knew any shops around that they trusted. One highly recommended E TX auto air. I am so glad I went there for a second opinion!!
They are busy, so I had to make an appointment. Dropped it off and by that afternoon got a call back. They said there were some metal shavings in one of the orifice filters so the compressor definitely had some wear, but the could not find any leaks. Changed the orifice tube/filter... recharged the system, and it has been blowing cold for over 3 months now. Just under $200 for all the diagnostics and repairs/recharge. Saved me $2400!!!
Out of curiosity, I asked: "IF" I did need to have the compressor replaced and all the other work that the other shop said I would need... how much would it likely cost?? Around $1600... for the same work as another shop VERY close to them would have charged $2600.
I have no affiliation with this company other than my experience from this event. I just wanted to let others know how great they are. Thank you guys!! Sincerely appreciate what you did for our family.
