If the hand pump leaks pretty badly I think it will inject air into the system and the engine will be difficult to start? For those of you reading this post, the "old" hand pump has a white screw on cap. The new pump doesn't have a cap and the top is all black.

I don't know what you're all talking about, Can I fax one of you guys my bill?

Thanks for all your advice..
this mechanic, he used to be a friend of mine, long story. He used to work on bugs and mercedes, then fazed out only to work on mercedes...
I went in to have my car looked over before my la trip. I assumed if alot of money was involved, he would call me. He knows I'm broke. ANd I told him I wanted a new air conditionining unit when I got one.
When I went to pick up my car, he told me he pulled an air conditioning unit (clutch and compressor) from another car; said it was great and he saved me alot of money.
I was charged $550 for everything; I was shocked.
I told him i wanted a new ac unit, and i appreciate if he had a good one he though would work; but i would have appreciated a phone call.
I don't know if i'm overreacting to the bill or not.
Was a cheated? I don't know if i can do anything about it now anyway..it kind of hit me over the weekend. When he showed me the bill i was in shock.
Can someone please look at the bill and let me know their opinion?...I'm hoping I'm overreacting.
Take into account this is San Francisco, where everything seems to be overpriced.
Please let me know any fax numbers I can send to to have your guys expert opinions...
thanks much,
Lindajane

Linda,

$550 doesn't sound like a bad price to get your AC working, but it all depends what he did to it.

Why don't you give us a synopsis of the bill here? Is his bill itemized?

Hi Linda.

I'm sure that the price is that not bad
but to me that isn't the problem,not
letting you know what he intended to do
before he did it,is a problem to me.
He should have called you to check it was OK.

I don't think you overreacted,only for the
wrong reason.

Louis.
