Air One Tech comes through again. The technician Mr. Christmas was so knowledgeable and respectful to my family and home. He provided excellent service and gave me real advice on how to maintain my AC unit to ensure it would continue to run properly. The office staff was friendly when making my appointment and worked to get problems fixed ASAP. Such a quality staff and reputable company. I won't go with anyone else. read more

I had a great service call and diagnosis by Sean of Air One Tech. He was able to thoroughly test my heat pump and boiler systems and install a power source to connect to a thermostat that was having issues. I highly recommend Sean and Air One. read more

I really appreciate the professionalism and honesty of this company. They were helpful and elaborate on the work that needed to be done. It didn't take long for Fardeen to figure out the problem and repair it the day of. He explained everything thoroughly. I highly recommend Fardeen or anyone else that works for Air One Tech. read more

Over the past few years I have used Air One Tech for all our heating and AC needs. I've had other firms but Air One Tech is far and above the others not only in technical competency but also in "easy-to-deal-with-ness", feeling that they really care about my satisfaction and they are cost competitive. For the past 7 years they have provided the regular maintenance for our heating and AC, and even installed a humidifier. They fixed things that were broken (on our outside AC unit) installed a new thermostat, and provided full explanations of the issues (with photos of parts and of our units) and what was actually needed - - and unbelievably, some things that could be put off as they were not a crisis today. In one instance, our older attic heating unit (fan) was on its last legs. They said that I could replace it now, or wait and see how long it lasted and then they could replace it immediately. Most other firms tell you anything they find slightly wrong is a cataclysmic event and unless you replace it immediately the world will stop spinning and come off it's axis. In the past they replaced our old attic furnace unit. It was somewhat of a challenge (in my opinion) but they very effectively maneuvered the replacement pieces thru our small attic opening and reassembled them. Job was done in less than one day - -effectively and efficiently. For the installation they had a 2-3 man team, all surfaces, rugs, stairs, etc were covered up to stay clean, and they cleaned up thoroughly when they left. They always wear (masks- if required/requested) and booties over their shoes. Of the 4 or 5 different maintenance folks that have come out over the past 7 years or so, they have been competent and personable. I have dealt many times with the CEO Dariush Jamsab, who is always available to discuss or explain things and often visits himself. He is quite knowledgeable, easy to deal with and fair...and he always follows up. In addition to Dariush the office manager, Allison Kirkman, is always following up - to make sure I know about schedules, trying to accommodate my needs and availability and she is exceedingly pleasant to deal with . One other thing that is most unique (that I have not seen from other companies) is before the (a) technician arrives, I get a text not only with the technician's name but also a photo so I know who to expect and what they look like. Bottom line: I don't recommend many firms but I unequivocally recommend Air One Tech.

I work in technology so I understand when folks describe a problem they know nothing about, but that for me, is second nature to troubleshoot and figure out. In the HVAC space, I've gone to companies many times for things like having freon added or a capacitor replaced. I've even switched out the main board (on my own) on my furnace to repair a problem. When I've had other companies give me a diagnosis, I'm always partly skeptical and want a second opinion. This was not the case with Air One Tech and right off the bat, my comfort level with Dariush was very high. So much so that I committed over $10K for a system install (w/ 0% interest via Wells Fargo) and had my upstairs zone system replaced. Out went a ~12 year old system and in went a new one. FWIW, I referred Air One to my sister afterwards and her feel with them after they came out and provided an estimate was good enough that they cancelled their previous engagement and went with Air One Tech for their AC replacement read more

I was thoroughly impressed by Darioush and his team. Long story short, they did a great job installing both an air scrubber and whole house steam humidifier for the house we just moved into. They ran into some issues based on the layout of the house (it's almost 40 years old) when installing the humidifier but they went out of their way to make sure everything was done the right way - even though it took much longer than most installs. They came back after the initial install and brought in an electrician to snake wires to other side of the basement to ensure the humidifier was drawing from the right electrical station and working at full capacity. The customer service is top notch. If you want things done right, pick Air One Tech. These guys know what they're doing and they don't cut corners. read more

Air one tech helped me replace my ac unit last year, and I received a call for a complimentary maintenance check. I actually almost canceled my appointment because I had a very busy schedule, but I'm so glad I didn't. Sayvan came to do the checkup and he was super kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. He helped me figure out why it was so cold in my place when I had the heat at 75, and even helped me clean my incredibly dirty vent (which he certainly did not have to do). He is an amazing technician and I highly recommend him!! read more

I bought a new townhouse which apparently came with a cheap AC unit that was only 2 years old when it started leaking and couldn't be fixed. I had 3 different HVAC companies come in and confirm the situation because I couldn't believe I had to get a new AC unit. Out of the 3 companies, Air One Tech was the most responsive, did not try to upsell me and tried to give me multiple solutions. They came out almost immediately after I called because I had no AC and it was 90+ degrees that day. They sent me 4 quotes with various price points to either replace a part on the old unit or replace my AC unit. I decided to get a new HVAC unit due to the bad warranty on my old unit and they were able to install the new unit on the roof (with a crane) in less than 2 weeks! So grateful for their quick service. Dariush and his crew are awesome - super responsive, polite and professional. They are really hardworking, on my roof working in the heat until they could find the problem. Thank you guys for the great service you provided, from my first call to the completion of the job! Highly recommend Air One Tech to solve any of your AC problems. read more

I have a maintenance plan with JD Air, but recently had an problem that JD Air wasn't able to diagnose. I chose Air One Tech to do further diagnosis due to the Yelp reviews. They were able to determine why my heat wasn't turning off and the parts to replace. I've been generally happy with JD Air, but Air One Tech's diagnosis seemed pretty standard - so I'm a bit confused by JD Air's inability to diagnose this issue correctly. During the 1st visit the more junior Air One Tech technician didn't get it 100% fixed, so I called the company the next morning, a Saturday morning. A more senior technician came that day and replaced one more part and the fix has been permanent. Their customer service was very good. It has now been about 2 weeks and everything is working well. Previously I was experience the issue almost daily for months. I'm very happy with the fix. I do have one doubt if a part that was replaced by Air One Tech was necessary, but if it only cost me a few hundred unnecessary dollars to get this fixed I'm happy. Also, that potential extra cost was still replacing a very old part that was becoming worn down, so I'm probably better off overall. I recommend this company for HVAC diagnosis and repairs. read more

I needed a programmable thermostat replaced (the existing one wasn't 100% reliable) and was referred to several companies by my home warranty company (HMS). I called all of them and though he wasn't the cheapest, Darius with Air One Tech was the most professional on the phone. Side note, I can't stand when a business owner answers the phone with just a "hello?" No business name? Not very professional, even if the contact # is your personal cell. So I scheduled an appointment between the window of 8am and 12pm, and asked for a call when he was on his way. Darius called a little before 9am and said he was about 30 mins away. I was pleasantly surprised when he called back a few mins after 9.30am saying he had arrived. Darius installed the new device, swept up the debris, and explained how to use the new thermostat and was out in about an hour. Came to about $120 since I already had the thermostat to be replaced. Then he emailed me a receipt. All in all, I was very happy with the service. Good customer service goes a looooong way! read more

I've used Air One Tech for quite a few years now. I found Air One Tech when I wanted a second opinion on furnace maintenance. The first business made it seem like I needed a new furnace ASAP, getting into a service agreement with them was the way to go, the sky was falling, blah, blah, blah. Air One Tech came out and gave me an honest opinion: the system was fine, it just needed some TLC. Since then they've been my go-to HVAC company. They've never tried to upsell me. They tell me what I need now and what I need to keep an eye on. There have been a few times when they've even come after hours to inspect and fix (in the rain) my aging outdoor unit in the middle of the summer. I recently had my 15+ year old replaced. During the consultation Dariush sat down with me and went through my options: basic, good, better and best. I informed him this wasn't our forever home. Given that and some other factors, again he didn't upsell us and was encouraging with our selection. (FYI...I went with good.) Highly recommend Air One Tech. read more

Wonderful Team! Had to replace my AC unit, Angelo was friendly and took the time to explain everything. Dariush, the owner made sure all the parts came in a timely manner so we did not have to suffer through the heat. Amir did an awesome job with the installation, so polite. Rare to find a company with such compassion and good work ethic. read more

So glad I did my research and found Dariush and Air One Tech! One room on our top floor wasn't getting sufficient air flow and as a result was VERY hot. Over the past year, we had the company that installed the unit come out to try to fix it only to tell us it is "normal" that some rooms in a house don't get proper air flow. After some inspection, Dariush quickly recognized that our situation wasn't "normal" and provided a solution right away. He ordered the parts and a few days later made the appropriate adjustments and it is now perfect! He even called a few days later to check up on the air flow. Extremely pleasant to deal with Dariush and his staff - who were are all very professional and honest throughout the process! Will be calling them for all of our AC needs in the future! read more

Dariush and his crew did absolutely wonderful work. My wife and I just purchased a new home, 21 year old hvac system. We got quotes ranging from 38k Carrier infinity system to a 13k goodman system. Dariush didn't try and upsell (some contractors do), he ensured that I understood that cooling and heating capacity are limited by the size of the ducting in the house (only so much air can move through these ducts). He ensured that all work would be permitted (some contractors offered permits as optional... seriously). The scope of work was - Replace both gas furnaces with new Trane, equal sizing - Replace both air conditioners - Replace both electrical whips to outside air conditioners - Add two steam humidifiers - Add two 20a 240v dedicated circuits for steam humidifiers - Replace two thermostats with ecobee smart thermostats - Run new thermostat wire for one thermostat to accommodate multi-stage heater (Other had req'd wiring already) - Upsize duct filters from 1" to 4" - Install new duct filter cabinets That's a lot of work. We were told it was going to take two days, they completed it in one and half. We had heat (it was winter at the time) at the end of the first day, humidifiers online half way through day 2. The end result is pictured below, it's been over a year since the install and the system has transitioned from heating to cooling and back again with no issues. The county inspector that signed off on our work said "This is the first time I've seen a perfect job, I have nothing to complain about". Bottom line, Dariush and his team do awesome work, they do it on time and charge fair prices. read more

Air One Tech - System 1, Added larger media filter, steam humidifer, new furance - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

See all

Did an estimate based on pictures and video which was convenient since I just wanted to compare prices. Dariush and Air One tech had the best prices. They came out with a large team and installed a steam humidifier which required HVAC technicians and electricians. They did a good job and cleaned up fairly thoroughly after they left. They also came back a day later to check if everything worked. Appreciate them being thorough Good communication and patient. Can recommend! read more

I picked Air One Tech because they're certified for Trane furnaces, and I'm glad I did. I was able to get an appointment the same day. Dariush took the time to diagnosis the problem and explain the different options. After ordering parts, a technician returned the following week to do the repair. He was also courteous and professionaI. I agreed to maintenance plans (there is a separate charge for each system you have) which were worth it because they did much needed cleaning and patched up holes. After payment I immediately received an e-mail confirmation detailing the work done, including pictures. They provide great customer service! read more

What a top notch company! They are professional, fair and do an outstanding job. The owner takes the time to explain options when buying a HVAC unit. When you have an appointment, they send you a text not only letting you know the tech is coming, but you can link to a map to see where he or she is. They did a wonderful installation and the owner came back about ay month later to check to make sure the system is working right and to see if we have any concerns. We shopped the price and he was extremely reasonable. But most of all, it is good to trust the person working in your home. Three thumbs up! --yes, I have three thumbs. read more

I wanted to wait for a year or so to see how this system performed. Dariush has provided great and timely service on my HVAC. My townhome had an awful heat pump system installed and likely incorrectly. (a neighbor told me the former owner would be out there defrosting it with a hairdryer in the winter). Regardless, it broke once, then developed a leak a few months later. The best option was to replace the entire system to get a manufacturer's warranty and avoid more failures with a subpar system. I hate dealing with problems more than once so that was my best option. Though I like Dariush, I still wanted to make sure I was getting a good price. I priced across three of the other top HVAC companies and Air One Tech came in the best or very close with a better system. It's been an incredibly hot summer and my neighbors are jealous as to how well I'm able to manage the heat and humidity inside the house. FYI leaks are difficult to fix and not guaranteed. Also if you have a leak in one part of the system, it could mean more leaks in the future (in the evaporator or condenser). I would say my only complaint is the thermostat that you're stuck with to better manage your Trane system. With variable speed fans, you cannot use 3rd party devices (Nest, etc.) as they cannot manage all the different fan speed settings. read more

Air One Tech - Heatpump installation - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

Top-notch company! The owner, Dariush, is truly passionate about his work and it shows. They installed an entirely new Trane HVAC system for us (Trane produces the best HVAC products). The technicians were very nice and did a great job. So far the system has exceeded our expectations and I'm thankful that Dariush explained everything on the front end so we purchased the best system to meet our needs. The customer service is awesome and Dariush came by a few days after the install to check everything and answer my questions. I also appreciated how organized they were from the quote process, scheduling the work, and the business technology solutions they used (text messages, electronic invoice, etc.). 100% satisfied customer here. I will recommend this company to all my friends. read more

I needed to replace an old air conditioner and gas furnace, so it was a BIG and expensive job, and I picked Air One Tech mostly based on the good reviews I found here. I was not disappointed. The professionalism of this place is really impressive, and so rare these days! Dariush came out and took the time to explain all the options, without pushing things I didn't need. I love that they sell Trane stuff because it's got such a good reputation--it pays off when you sell the house on top of being reliable. I ended up adding a heat pump to the gas furnace and a whole-house humidifier b/c I hate the dry air in the winter. The crew came out as scheduled and got it all done in one day. Removed the old equipment, cleaned up after themselves, explained everything. I was quoted an exact price before agreeing, and that's exactly what I paid in the end--no surprises, no extra fees, no b.s. (I wish my cable company behaved like that!) It's not the cheapest place, but you get what you pay for. Dariush came out again a couple of months later to check on things (no charge), and that was helpful. Communication has also been excellent--Alison the office manager replies to emails immediately, is polite and professional, understands things, and doesn't waste your time. In short, a great experience all around! read more

Not that these guys need any more stellar reviews, but I just couldn't help but add this one. Yes, they're that good. So, if you're curious here's my story (the short version)... I have a unit in an apartment building that was built in the 70s, and for the last 3 years I've been struggling with HVAC vendors and building maintenance people who keep charging me for "flushing the coils" when the season changes. And now they're telling me that I have to replace the entire unit for almost $7,000! Given that this price tag was in my humble opinion nothing short of ludicrous, I decided to get a second opinion, and via my research I found Air One Tech. What a major stroke of luck that was! Dariush (God bless him) came out, he checked the unit, and what happened afterwards was just unbelievable. It was like one of those movies where you find out that you've been lied to for years and getting drained of money! He showed me, very logically, that my AC system is, yes, very old, and also, VERY simple. There is "nothing" wrong with it!!! There was nothing to fix! It was simply a matter of course that when the building changes their HVAC water supply from hot to cold or vice versa during season changes, some air needs to be flushed out of the water pipes and everything is hunky dory. They kept telling me "the coil is clogged with water", which makes no sense. Dariush showed me the coil. There's nothing at all wrong with it. Turns out the building management (maybe in cahoots with the one vendor who has a monopoly on replacing these units) were trying to con me into forking out almost $7K to replace a unit that is working just fine. The end result would've been the exact same thing I have today! I gotta say, Dariush didn't just save my wallet, he also empowered me with critical knowledge that will serve me for years to come! Thank you Dariush! Thank you Air One Tech! These guys are HIGHLY recommended to everyone. read more

Excellent service and workmanship. Requested a quote for installation of two new heat pump/AC units this summer. Dariush provided several options including a couple ways to cut costs. The installers, Ben and Kayvan, arrived on time in the dreaded heat of early August and suffered through the attic installation too. A couple problems arose and Dariush was on site to trouble shoot and resolve the problems. A few months later when I had a question, I received an immediate response. We are very happy with the function of our new systems and the quality of the service. read more

I usually don't write review but I need to do this because I am thankful. I was nervous that since they are 5star company I won't be able to schedule an appointment for sometimes the same week. I called Monday morning. Left msg. Received a call back shortly after and I scheduled for the following day. 4 hours time window however tech called 40 min before he showed up. My AC system is maintained and I am happy that I don't need to be worried anymore. Thank you for great customer service. Highly recommended. read more

I just had AC tune up by Darren, and cant recommend enough!!!! I originally had some damages to the ceiling and my roof adjuster said it is not from the roof, and even though it wasnt part of Darren's work, he went up to check where the water damage is coming from, took great photos so I can send it to adjuster. He also explained and show me how to maintain AC heater unit thoroughly and he was very honest with his recommendations by showing me pictures, but not upselling anything. Really recommend him, and if you use this vendor, make sure to request Darren!!! Thank you so so much Darren!!!! read more

It's not often you find a business where the owner takes the time to call and comes to your place to check in on how your AC and heating system work and where every staff member from the scheduler to the tech maintenance experts work at the highest level of excellence and courtesy. Dariush and his team are that business. They put in a new Trane HVAC system in my condo last month, replacing the original, which was 22+ years old. This system is much more energy efficient and better than others I explored at Home Depot and with zero interest financing. The best part is the personalized customer service, affordability and efficiency. You can't go wrong hiring AirOne Tech. Call them today! read more

Great experience for my HVAC repair! Quick to respond and schedule. Appreciate the photos confirming work was completed!

Stop your search! Air One Tech had the best quote in the area, and their work was top notch.

The owner, Dariush, came out to give its a quote for a new heat pump system. He was professional and seemed very knowledgeable. It turned out that we were able to resolve the problem without replacing our system, but if we had, we likely would have gone with Air One Tech. read more

Dariush and his team care about their work and it shows. Dariush very polite and eager to educate. He was more interested in making sure that I was making the right choices for my house than selling me the most expensive product he could. There were no surprises with the job. His team showed up on time and kept clean. read more

I could not have had a better experience. I had my AC (heat pump and air handler) replaced because it died right during a heat wave. Dariush provided an efficient and clear estimate and discussed my options unhurriedly, making sure I had time to ask all the questions I wanted. His staff is utterly professional and kind. They completed the job in the allotted time and with very little noise or disturbance. Mahmoud was unbothered by me watching him change the thermostat (more for my education than anything else) and was very kind to point out the key things I needed to pay attention to in the event I wanted to do this myself. Would 100 percent recommend and use them again. Thanks! read more

The A/C in our business recently stopped working. It's an old unit but we are not ready to replace it as the lease is coming up for renewal. Based on reviews here on Yelp I gave Air One Tech a call. Jamie, who answered the phone, was courteous, efficient, and helpful. She was able to set up an appointment on short notice for someone to come by and take a look. Daniel, the technician, came on the appointed day to perform the diagnostic. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and understanding of our situation. He quickly and expertly diagnosed the problem. He left with all the information and I received a call from Jamie later in the day. They had found the required parts and gave me a quote. I accepted and we made an appointment for Daniel to return two days later to complete the repair. They send you a text on the appointed day when a technician is on the way. There is a picture of the technician along with a link to track their location on a map in real time. No more day-long windows where you are sitting around wondering when someone will show up. Daniel showed up at the beginning of the time window. He expertly completed the repairs and stayed a few minutes to make sure everything was running as expected. I am very satisfied with my experience with Air One Tech and recommend them without reservation. Thanks to all the Yelp reviewers who shared their experiences. If we have any future HVAC issues I will call Air One Tech and request Daniel as our technician. read more

They fixed the issue, with our AC, so I will give 5 stars for the work. But I will give 0 stars for pricing. They mark-up the parts by 200 - 400 percent. The part which my system required costs anywhere from $85 - $120 online on Amazon & Ebay and other sites. But I was charged about $600 for the part, which I could have bought for way cheap, had I known that the price difference before hand. Well! live and learn. My suggestion would be to ask the tech, what exact part with the part # they will be ordering and then check online to see how much the pricing of it is online and then ask the tech, what they are charging you for the same part. That way you don't overpay for the parts. Service = Work done for good, the AC works, so that way their service is good. It's just the parts pricing that's questionable, to be so overpriced. read more

I needed my AC checked since it's been 2 years since I moved in. I know nothing about the HVAC system and fortunately found Air One Tech on Yelp. I sent them a message and received a reply withinin minutes. Setting up the appointment was quick and easy. The tech came ahead of schedule and was extremely courteous. He explained the process, put on shoe covers when he came inside and finished in no time. At the end of the maintenance I was also provided with an emailed report and receipt. The reviews don't lie, Air One Tech is top notch. read more

They really do earn their 5-star rating. The owner, the nice lady who answers the phone, the technicians, work speed, and prices were all great. I was walked through what was wrong and signs to check for future issues, which was very much appreciated. They fixed a really rough situation (temperatures have been in the low 90s). Air Tech One really is the best. read more

Air one tech team was a life saver. I had a broken HVAC due to storms and kids and wife were in misery. Airone tech showed up same day I called, diagnosed and fixed the problem and got my family back to "life". They also saved me few thousands dollars by accurately diagnosing the real problem although there were a false positive about the compressor being the issue. I am glad I have a maintenance plan with these guys! read more

Air One has earned every five star review on here. We just moved into a new place, and two days later, during the first cold day, we woke up to a very cold house. The fan motor in the furnace was not turning on at all. I looked on yelp to see who I could call, and Air One popped up with a ton of good reviews. I called and let a message, hoping someone was around on a Saturday. Dariush called back ten minutes later, told me he happened to be in the area and could come out within the hour to take a look. Within a few minutes of being on site, he had diagnosed the problem, explained exactly how he was going to fix it, and got to work. An hour later the furnace was working again without a problem. The cost was reasonable, especially for an emergency repair like this. I would highly recommend them, and will be using them again! read more

(Movie anouncer voice) "In a world... Where service is usually matched by the girth of your wallet...." "One man... chose to be different." "THIS SUMMER... Dariush Jamasb as... THE ETHICAL INSTALLER! " " 'AIR ONE TECH' Coming to a hot house near you!" Can't say enough good stuff about Dariush or his company. Very professional process. Very knowledgeable about the products and the industry. He will go out of his way to accomodate you on your schedule. Everything said about him is absolutely true about not being pushed into beyond what you need. He will suggest the best set up for your needs but ONLY what you need. He also goes out of his way to make sure you understand everything you are getting and why. He only uses Trane products and after my own research I definitely see why. Trane's quality is currently the overall best in the industry and their support of their installers is also top as I got to see firsthand for my install when they gave him a free upgrade in SEER when they didn't have my level in stock. His prices are surprisingly competitive with other inferior installers making his services a no-brainer! Remember, when it comes to HVAC, you're absolutely not buying a product; you're buying an installer and their warranty--no product is this truer than HVAC systems. And a good installer combined with a good product who supports their installers is a combo that can't be beat. read more

The owner cares about customer service and keeping prices competitive. I found the company to be professional and transparent and a good value. I would recommend them over larger more "famous" hvac contractors you see advertising in Virginia and DC. I bought a trane HVAC system from them. read more

I recently purchase a condo and wanted to have my HVAC serviced before I moved in. I called Air One Tech because of their fantastic reviews on Yelp. Highlights: - Prompt and on time. Confirmed in the morning with me before they arrived. - $95 to service the HVAC and make sure that everything was working properly. - - The team led my Mike E was knowledgable, quick, and efficient He knew what he was doing when conducting all of his tests - Provided a detailed report immediately after using an app on his phone and receipt of payment. To Note - Was originally told 10% off coupon on website would be able to be used by someone who scheduled my appt but when presented at the end of service to pay, was told could not be used for maintenance. I scheduled the appt on the phone on 3/23/16 at 5:29pm fwiw. Would recommend and will likely use them for my annual HVAC servicing! Update: The owner Dariush reached out to me and apologized regarding the confusion with the 10% coupon. He explained to me that he would offer me a refund of the difference or a rain check in the future. Honestly, this was great to hear, not because of the $$, but because it showed that the owner cared about each of his customers. He is willing to go above and beyond to make sure everything is exactly what was agreed upon. Thank you for understanding Dariush. read more

Nobody wants to call a repairman. Besides being pissed off at having to get the [first world] problem that you're having solved, you're almost always predisposed to thinking they're looking for ways to rip you off. I had a little less trepidation when I called Darius at Air One Tech because he came on a friend's recommendation, but STILL. My outdoor a/c unit wouldn't turn on, it was approaching 80 degrees in my house, and my delicate constitution can't handle much more humidity than we've had lately. Darius came the day after I called, a little later than he said he would, but such is life ruled by Beltway traffic. He arrived after normal business hours so I didn't even have to take off work - and when I asked about his apparently long hours, he said he LIKED to work a lot and work late. OK, sir, as you wish! Better you than me. After a few minutes back and forth flipping breakers and opening access panels, the old girl starting spinning like she was two days ago. I would have paid him just about anything but all he asked for was his standard (very reasonable) diagnostic fee. I liked that he charged me this way. I'm not sure how others feel about this. While my problem was minor and fixed in 20 minutes, it was nothing that I would have found myself AND it was something very unexpected/out of the ordinary. I can't help but think someone less experienced and less knowledgeable would have missed what it was. I also can't help but think other places would have charged me a diagnostic fee as well as tacked on a few bucks for actually having to fix something. In any event, I didn't have any problems handing my check over with a smile. Darius himself was well-mannered, pleasant, and nice to chat with. He's a mechanical engineer by education if that makes a difference to anyone. It does to me because I am also one and we're a special breed. ;) I would totally use Air One Tech again, and I will recommend him to everyone I know. read more
