2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Phoenix Area Shops. Need A/C service. Don't want to go to dealer

[JGlass]

Hey, I'd like to go to a shop to have my 97 2500 serviced. I need my A/C checked for leaks. I'm looking for recommendations from other members.



Thanks,

James

JGlass, do you think it has a leak or are you just wanting it serviced? I have a gauge. If you want you can use it and check it the next day. I am down Apache Junction, but I am all over the Phoenix area every day. Give me a holler if you want and we can meet up.

Leaks are sometimes hard to find even with an electronic detector. You will seldom have a leak at any place other than the O ring were the hoses connect to various components. If the leak is indeed hidden in the center of a coil, it can be found by putting special dye into the refrigerant charge. Any competent shop should be able to correct the problem. There should be a lot of them in your area. A tight system should run for years with less than an ounce of refrigerant loss. Annual "tune up" type service to add gas is a waste money. Get the leak fixed.

Hey John I am just right down the road from you. I am at Brown/Lost Dutchman and Main in Apache Junction. Skorski sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet. I just moved here and don't know a lot about the shops around here. But if I can help you out in any way just give me a shout.



P. S. Where are you storing your truck in A. J. I have about two acres here in A. J.

We are at segoro rv resort

Hey guys, we gotta have a mini-convention! Let's find a breakfast restaurant and meet on a Saturday morning once in a while.



Travis: I am jealous of your two acres. I grew up on a farm and this 80x120 lot sure is tight. My neighbors file a claim with the city every time I pull a screw loose on something if I am six inches in front of my garage door.



Got one of those city letters in my hands right now. Reason? I bought my son's Honda Goldwing and needed to keep the trailer a few days so I parked it in the side driveway next to the gates.



And, since the guy came out to look at that, he is now telling me I can't park my own truck in the side drive because it doesn't have concrete or asphalt surface? Give me a break. It's covered with gravel and no dust ever shows it head.



Sheesh... .

 

[TravisG]

Next Saturday is good w/ me. You name the place and I will be there. If you want I will post something in the Arizona section and see if anybody is interested.



P. S. HAPPY NEW YEAR
