Paid $200 To Get Aircon Fixed, Still Same Problem

[fib]

Hey guys, I'd like to know your opinion.

I've taken my car to auto electrician twice for the aircon - it would be cool for 5 min then cut out and then would not start up again until some random time like maybe the next day. First time they said gas was low, regassed... didn't fix the problem charged me $80, next time they said thermostat was playing up, replaced it and charged me $120. Same problem.

Should I:

1. demand for the problem to be fixed and not pay any more

2. cut my losses and take it somewhere else

3. just keep paying these guys until problem is sorted.

Cheers,

fibbo.

Have you done the diagnostic test on the A/C?

Compressor working, no leaks. Aircon worked from the start before I brought it in, main problem was it cutting out after 5 minutes.

I brought it back to auto electrician he could not reproduce the problem (don't you just hate intermittent problems). He tweaked the aftermarket thermostat from 4 degrees to zero degrees, luckily at no extra charge and said bring it back if it still plays up.

I'm happy that there are no leaks and that compressor is working though.
