    My 2013 civic humina ang lamig ng 2017, sabi ng denso after using their analyzer, add freon, 250 kesos only, ayos naman till 2023, humina ulit lamig, pina check up ko sa maliit na shop dito sa amin, reco cleaning, quotation almost 10k. Sinubukan ko pakarga freon sa isa pang shop, 500 kesos, 7 months since mas malamig pa kesa Territory ko.

    agree din ako. kung lumalamig naman at walang amoy, palit o linis filter lang kung mga washable type...

    an AC shop will always insist na kailangan i cleaning, then palit yung evap valve yata yun, then top up ng refrigerant. or worst, sasabihin may leak yung linya kaya nauubos ang refrigerant...

    another cons, kapag nakatsamba ka ng AC shop na hindi marunong magbaklas at walang proper tools yung mga gagawa, susungkitin ng screw drivers mga panel at trims, then pagbalik hindi naisosoli ng maayos kaya may rattles na o mga kalampag na sa loob ng cabin[emoji6]

    as an aside,
    my favorite culprit for leaks,
    the service valves.

    Sa Mazda 3 club may mga bad experience with sub zero. After daw mag pa cleaning, after a few days nawala yung lamig. So ofcourse bumalik sila to complain. Bastos daw kausap yung may ari. Sasabihin na hindi daw nila kasalanan. Sira na daw in the first place & wag daw sisihin sa kanila. Kahit umabot pa daw sila ng korte, panalo daw sila.

    Nataon siguro. Wala naman silang baklas ng evaporator. Alis glovebox lang at blower motor, para ma access ng spray ang evaporator.

    Pero iyon kahit nasa tama, hindi sana bastos.

    there's two ways i see it,
    first, is there some thing unique with the mazdas, making them prone to leaking after servicing...? and
    sa tagal na niya sa business, bat hindi alam nang aircon shop, na ganun nga? gawan sana niya nang paraan, instead of simply criticizing the car.

    from personal experience,
    shop owners who say, "wala silang kasalanan" don't know enough of the technical and non-technical aspects of their business.
    instead of hand-washing, they should offer possible solutions.

    "this is what we did, sir... when we fixed it and returned the freon pressure to normal, you probably sprung a leak at some other part of your aircon, as a result of the increase to normal pressure. it's something we see from time to time that's really no one's fault. we can trouble-shoot it and offer solution, but as it was not in our original work coverage, we may have to charge more. i hope you understand, sir.". or something to that effect.

    then again,
    there's always the costumer from hell...
