I called Stevenson out in the middle of the night after my AC went out in 100 degree heat. They said it would be $80 for the call, but I had a $30 coupon. The tech checked the AC unit and after less than 5 minutes told me it had a bad capacitor. He said he had one out in the truck, but it was $376 total. That means the part would be $326 when you subtract the $50 service call. Well, I told him I only had a little over $300 and I couldn't pay that much. He messed around with his phone and papers for a minute and then told me he could do it for $306 total. That means the part would then cost $256. Since I could now afford the repair, I had no other choice but to either suffer in the extreme heat the next morning and leave my animals in the house to possibly overheat and die, or pay for the repair. It took him literally less than 5 minutes to install the part, and the AC was working again.
