Arts Auto Electric & air conditioning

Alex 2 months ago

I came here with a Ford Crown Vic that only blows hot air. Art had me pull in, turn on the AC, and pop open the hood so he could check it out. He said it wasn't the refrigerant, so it was either a problem with electrical or I'd need a new AC compressor, but he wouldn't know until he got in there. I gave him the go-ahead, left him my name, number, and keys and left. An hour later he called me saying it was an electrical problem and said it would cost $430 to fix. I gave him the go-ahead and he said he'd call me back when my AC was fixed. He called back 4 hours later to tell me it was finished. When I picked up my car, he gave me an invoice of what the issue was and what he repaired. AC blows ice cold now. Cash only. Also my advice is to come early like right when the shop opens so you'll have your car ready by the end of the day.

Art's saved my day. And lots of money. The AC on my 07 Ford Escape Hybrid wasn't blowing cold and on this car the AC also cools the hybrid battery so my car wasn't happy. I had a good idea what was wrong and it was a $30 part that required the freon removed to replace. I went to a few shops that wouldn't touch it being a hybrid and the dealer wanted to replace the compressor for a few thousand dollars and I wasn't willing to pay that. Art also recommended a compressor because he said he doesn't rebuild them, but I asked him for a quote to just drain it and test and refill it on my return and he gave me an excellent price which I took him up on and had him capture the freon and I left. The next day I returned after doing the repair and he vacuumed the system down and held the vacuum and told me it's not leaking then he refilled it and I think he was surprised I fixed my compressor for a $30 part but it worked and it's literally been 50k miles now and still blowing cold. Thanks Art for working with me and saving my ride.

Rating would be a Zero. Yesterday took car for ac. I drove the half hour to get there due to good reviews. When there I was told leak in hose. Ok. Told the price, ok. Come back tomorrow in the morning. Get there, the mechanic to work on my car wasn’t there yet. Not a biggie, but Art tells me then that the mechanic said cash only. And honestly he should have been there by then during the timeframe told to come. I said I could have been told this ahead of time, as cash is not typical form of payment these days. And the time to drive there. Art said I’m just the messenger. Out of professional courtesy I should have been told this Yesterday as I was to bring car early in morning for time to work on it. I am so put off by this experience with them, so unprofessional. Starting over to trust I find a fair, professionally run mechanic for ac.

Art did a refrigerant conversion (R12 -> R134a) on my '92 Toyota Pickup. Very reasonable pricing, quick work (completed in about 3 hours), and he even tightened my AC compressor belt while he was at it. AC blows nice and cold and no leaks so far. I'll definitely go back to Art's the next time I need AC or electrical work.

My A/C had not worked for a few weeks and a quote from a big name mechanic company wanted to charge me over $2k to fix it. I called Art’s on a whim and they took me in that day and fixed it within a few hours for less than $400. I feel so blessed to have come here. Having A/C again is so nice and they were honest with me about the issues and prices. They even went as far as to show me what they were talking about, not shooing me away from my car. They didn’t talk down to me as a woman or try to upsell me, just people talking to people. I really appreciate that and will always choose this place over others. Thank you guys! Truly a godsend!
