codyhuntsaz Report post Posted June 6, 2016 Does anyone have any recommendations for an HONEST AC repair shop? My wife's 2012 Nissan Murano started blowing hot air on the way home from Payson yesterday. I'd like to get it looked at as soon as possible. Preferably in the east valley, we live in Gilbert. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norteno Report post Posted June 6, 2016 Based on recommendations on Facebook I tried Christian Brothers Auto on Ocotillo just East of AZ Ave. I was surprised to walk out of there for just over $100 to fix my AC. Really nice place and owner even followed up later in the week to make sure AC was still blowing cold. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

codyhuntsaz Report post Posted June 6, 2016 Thanks for the recommendations guys, I have an appointment this afternoon at a different shop. If I don't like what they have to say I'll look into one of your recommendations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

codyhuntsaz Report post Posted June 7, 2016 Clutch went bad on the compressor. Of course you can't buy and replace just the clutch, you have to buy a whole new compressor. Sucks to do on a vehicle that's less than 4 years old and has less than 55k miles on it! On a side note a member on here "TAC" was a big help, I highly recommend reaching out to him if you need any car repairs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tac Report post Posted June 7, 2016 Its a good thing most of the time to do the compressor if the clutch failed it seems that when they fail the compressor front seal leaks shortly after that. so replacing the compressor at that time may be a blessing and keep you from having a return visit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I had seen this thread earlier, I'd have sent you to Acuna Automotive. The most honest mechanic I know! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TexasHunter Report post Posted June 9, 2016 You can replace just the clutch but usually the clutch went bad because of to much drag from the compressor. It is never recommended anymore to just do the clutch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
