Hello,
Any help is appreciated.
2003 Eddie Bauer Expedition @ 160K, it is my daughter's only car with family of 4
I don't have the full story and my information is third hand so I will do m best.
I am somewhat in the doghouse since I recommended the mechanic (taken my car there a few times with no issues)
Took it into the shop yesterday for Condenser and Compressor replacement
On way home it overheated
Mechanic met them and said it just needed some coolant and that is not checked as part of A/C service
Bottle was cracked and supposedly he showed evidence it was not a new issue
Expy needs a new Head Gasket, and they dont want to fix as "it is just a matter of time before the engine blows" - huh?
New shop said "There is a pressure test that should have been done" - huh?
AFAIK the A/C is a sealed system and completely independent of the Engine.
Any advice / analysis is appreciated as the dog house is not too comfy! saying is true "no good deed goes unpunished"
Any help is appreciated.
