Car air connditioner repair?

I went to the mechanic to fix my air conditioner which was blowing warm air, which sucks during a Texas summer. The mechanic fix the air conditioner by changing the air conditioner belt and an added bonus they change the alternator belt (sarcasm).

Couple of days later the car start making a really awful screeching sound, i take it back to them and they say that my bumper is not strong enough for the belt, so they say that the bumper needs to be changed at an estimated charge of 300 dollars.

The air conditioner belt that they changed, snapped today in the highway, only after one week of them changing it.

So i'm 177 dollars down, with no AC and with a car that makes an awful screeching noise which makes people turn heads a block away. What would you advice me, are this mechanics being extremely negligent and don't want to own up to their incompetence or is there any other explanation.

Thanks

Yes that place is definitely cheating you. The screeching sound is probably the belt and they didn't tighten it. So that they could make you think something else is wrong with it. As far as your bumper not being able to handle the belt is absolutely ridiculous, maybe they loosened it. Usually when you have warm air blowing in is a result of low on freon or a bad a/c compressor. You need to try to go back and get some of your money refunded. The belt broke and that could of caused you to have a serious accident, your very lucky. If it doesn't work out you have your attorney general in your city and of course you have the better business bureau to file a complaint too. I have a friend that is a owner of an auto repair shop and the best way to get satisfaction done is to file a complaint with better business bureau. Best of luck!
