I had an air conditioner that was leaking freon. I took it to the local Firestone and they ended up needing to replace the AC unit. The next day I was heading to the mountains for a weekend and the engine wasn't delivering power and acted like it wanted to shut down when it was pushed. I took to to 4 different shops who all gave me quotes that ranged from $800 to $1,500 to fix the problem. The issue was, is that none of the other guys could confirm what the issue actually was or that their fix would work. Finally, a shop owner looked at me and said, ""Go to Astro Automotive, they are where we take our cars when we can't diagnose the problem"". I took my car to Astro and they not only figured the solution (bend hose from a sloppy install job at firestone) but they only charged me $80 bucks and gave me a loner car too!!! I won't take my car anywhere else.
