I read the 50/50 reviews on Yelp/Google and decided to go for it. One of the biggest mistakes ever. I will simply post what I posted on PepBoys Facebook page which sums up everything:\r

I turned in my 2007 Mazda CX7 at your Streamwood/Barrington IL location last week because there was a slight burning smell coming from the air vents. After dropping off my car there, I received a call from your technician confirming that it was the AC Compressor that was dead and it was pulling a belt that was causing the smell. They said I have to change the compressor, need a tune up and a new battery, all in all about $1000. I told them to proceed if that fixes the issues.\r
When I went to pick up my car, it seems like nobody had really tested it. I started the car and turned on the heater and an even stronger burning smell was now coming from the vents. Also, before my car was pretty silent when you turned the fan on. Now it sounded like it's a helicopter under the hood waiting to take off.
