First off, the AC works better now than it ever has. But I was unhappy about a few things. The first thing that bothered me was the addition of a $20 fuel surcharge for the initial diagnosis. Max Mechanical is less than 3 miles from my house, enough said. But the thing that bothered me the most was the dishonesty of the service technicians. When putting my inside unit back together they decided to hide a screw on the inside of the unit and just taped the unit shut with foil tape. When I got home from work that day, the unit sounded like a diesal engine. So being a civil engineer with some mechanical knowledge I inspected the unit to find that the techs hid a screw that was too short for that particular location of the unit on the inside of the unit and just taped it shut as if they were doing their due dilligence. All they would have had to do was reinspect the unit to put the appropriate length screw where it belonged. It took me about 5 minutes. That is very dishonest and frustrating when you pay $700 for a diagnosis, evaporator coil clean (inside), and a system recharge of a pound freon.
