First, other reviews are correct that if you schedule an appointment that doesn't mean you're first up. I scheduled a service at 7:00am and I wasn't able to get my truck until the next day at 5:00pm. (6/6/2025) I came into the shop and told the tech that something was wrong with my A/C and needed it to be fixed. I was told at the desk that all A/C repairs are a flat $300, sort of like a "risk pool" approach (that's how I understood it). If it was an easy fix, I overpay, and if it's something worse, I save. This avoids people getting free diagnostics and turning down necessary but expensive repairs. Majority of these I'm sure are just recharges... so Woodie's profits. I even clarified "so the $300 isn't solely diagnostics and whatever is wrong will be fixed at no extra cost?" because I was skeptical, but I was reassured that the $300 covers all typical A/C repairs. I felt comfortable. I get my truck back and the A/C works for about a month, before it's broken again. (7/17/2025) I bring it back in to see what happened (the tech told me that if it stops working again to do so; 36 month warranty). A few hours later I get a call saying that I have critical leaks and my A/C belt needs to be replaced, and it is going to cost over $1,000. Where was this when I took it in initially? It's almost like they wanted to purposefully separate the visits... When I asked about the $300 A/C service they mentioned that I shouldn't have been told it would fix my A/C and that it was just diagnostics + recharge. I also said "why wasn't this caught before??" and all I got was rigamarole and apologies, probably because it wasn't even checked for, and the mechanic just recharged and sent me off. I turned down the service, naturally. This is all one big setup and I am not buying it, so my services will be met elsewhere.
