So, on the new to me 05 GT that I bought a month ago, the A/C was luke warm. I had Rich inspect the car prior to purchase, all was well, and when I let him know the situation, he thought it would just require a recharge. Rather than deal with a dealer, I first called a local A/C "specialist". I asked him if I could come buy for a check/recharge. He first asked what kind of car, and I answered "ford". Next he asked for model, and I answered "GT", he asked "Mustang", I said no. He then told me he was real busy and I'd have to leave the car for half a day. I asked how much to perform the service, he said between $100 and $150. I told him that I wouldn't leave the car, and that I'd get back to him. I called my local "mechanic" whom I trust, but hadn't initially called, and asked if he could perform A/C maintenance, the answer was "sure, I have the machine", bring it in at 8am tomorrow. I pulled out the front tray, he hooked up the machine, found out that I had .4lbs of coolant, checked for leaks, recharged the system, checked again. Started it up, stuck the thermometer down a vent, watched it drop to 47 degrees, and still dropping, and removed it. Entire process took less than 1/2 hour, and costs $85. Yeah, I'm going to leave my car with this jackass "specialist" for 1/2 a day!!!! Back to like the old GT, going to have to turn down the A/C so my testicles don't freeze!!!!
