This place is a Hidden Gem*****!!!!!
My 2012 Ford Fusion Sport's Air Conditioning Cooling System began to fail.
I always, and mean always bring my vehicle to the Dealership. I never take it to a Mom & Pop Shop!
I have always felt that these kind of businesses could NEVER compare to the Manufacturer.
Well, was I WRONG!
I contacted the dealership of the issue, and was told that the first available appointment was not until January 2024. Then, their technician would have to analyze what the problem was.
To top it off, I would have to make another appointment for about another month later so that they could order the parts and get in line to have them installed. (Rediculous)!
Usually, we only used Main Auto Clinic for State Inspections.
I decided to give them (Main Auto Clinic) a shot on figuring out what the issue was.
What I believed the problem to be from on-line chats (Blend Door Actuator Motor failing, and/or Low Freon) was incorrect.
It actually was that the Condensor had created a hole from the inside out (not caused by road debree) causing the freon to leak out almost completely, also causing the Compressor to almost run completely dry of freon which has lubricant.
The compressor started to sound like an old Power Steering pump beginning to fail.
I went to Main Auto Clinic to be shown where the leaks were at, and I was able to physically see them with a Black Light.
I was told by Raphael (Master Mechanic) with an Aviation background, that the Condensor, High and Low Pressure Lines (at a minimum) needed to be replaced.
He also Highly recommended for the Compressor to be replaced due to the depth of work that was going to have to be performed.
On this particular model of vehicle, there have to be so many parts removed to get to the location of the High and Low Pressure Lines and Condensor.
Since they were already there, it would be wise to replace the Compressor as well. I would be taking a Huge risk by leaving the Original in place.
It could last a second, minute, hour, day, month, year ....... and then fail, and all of the work would have to be re-done.
I chose to have all the parts replaced, and my Air Conditioning is cooling like a Refrigerator/Freezer.
I am very anal-retentive, and my vehicle was cared for and left spotless.
I Love this place and HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE!
Thank You Benjamin, Raphael, Charles and the rest of the Main Auto Clinic Team! Bravo!! 5 STARS!!!!! read more
