Yes, most are scam. Unnecessary replacement of compressors and evaporators. Most AC tech have massive disdain for automatic compressors. Few AC technicians have diagnostic tools for testing solenoid valves in variable displacement compressors, needless to say using vaccum pumps to check for system leaks.

Some might not but we consider most ac repair here a scam.

People have been conditioned to replace AC compressor and condenser. Most of the time that's not the issue! The truth is that the AC system is a vacuum and a lot of cooling issues are a result of LEAKS. Since most techs either cannot or will not locate the leak, they simply recommend replacing the whole system because that will eliminate the leak right?

Stop using lazy ac repair shops

And how much was it to find the problem? N17k for the freon with UV dye and labor. The evaporator core labor is only two hours (N10k) once he can get the part. Prado isn't made in US so we don't carry the parts unless they match another model.
