"Yeah..no thanks. During the derecho these asshats wouldn't sell me a dual start capacitor. I'll never spend a freaking dine with these mothers! EVER! Simple part, simple replacement...had the dam thing already diagnosed, old part in hand. Willing to pay retail! But they wanted their freaking service and labor billing for a 10 min job...which they said was a minimum 1 hour service charge! I know HVAC...they didn't care! I called the next HVAC service center...guess what...they sold me the part. My air conditioning has been flawless ever sense! They lost a customer that day...and EVERY Freaking day since!!! Screw them and the royal horse they rode in on!!!!"
