    so this guy blew out the radiator and said there was to much freon in there probably when they did the heater core they needed to replenish it and added to much and the final result ....A DRIVE HOME WITH MY A/C KICK'IN STRONG WITHOUT OVERHEATING, EVEN WHEN DRIVING IT HARD !!!!!!!

    WOOHOO I GOT MY BABY BACK.


    Please please please, get a written report for the guy that fixed your problems, and take that and the account back to the first shop.
    Even if you don't get anything out of them, it should teach them what the should be looking for the next time they come across an overheating issue.

    I would just give them the information and see what their response is.
    If they don't offer any refund, ask for 50%.
    If they are total a**holes, walk out and just post a review of their service on every site you can.

    thank you for all the responses on this issue

    funny thing is they told me they guarentee there work but when i said the car still overheated they said all they will do is try to find the problem, then said they wanted to have the radiator sent out and would cost more money to do it, how is that guarenting you work by telling me its definataly the thermostat and then telling me it will cost me more money to find the real problem? so i doubt i will get anything back. but will absolutaly post neg reviews on sites and maby even the BBB



    as far as the temp guage , when this thing rose it rose quick with no symptoms of anything except the loss of my a/c. Is there anyting i can buy to add like a warning buzzer to let me know if it starts to overheat? I dont want to go through this again.
