I went to Cooksville Hyundai to get an AC inspection done - saumyakinger
I went to Cooksville Hyundai to get an AC inspection done as it was blowing Hot air in 30 degrees outside. Post a 10 min inspection, service guy came back and said the refrigerant was contaminated and our machine can’t pull the gas out. They claimed I had the wrong refrigerant installed and asked me to take it to another agency where I got my service done from 5 months ago as they claimed they could have done something to refrigerant. I called Kingcross Hyundai and they said nothing was touched related to AC in a oil change service of course. I tried to push cooksville to give me a solution or tell me what the actual issue is as the service was done 5 months ago and AC stopped working 2 days ago. They just basically told me to give them $170 bucks for a worthless inspection and go away in simple words.
I found time to drive 1.5 hour in 30 degrees from mississauga to Kingcross Scarborough location after a week and pay another $170 inspection fee to them due to cooksville's incapability. Within 10 mins, they found a bird behind the bumper that had the whole AC condenser sheet damaged that caused refrigerant freon gas to leak. They told me the fix was to replace condenser sheet and recharge the gas for $1100 total. I was happy paying the inspection fee to them as they actually found the issue.
I went back to Cooksville hyundai to speak to their Service Manager Phil Scolieri which I thought would be a help considering his position which I am not sure how an incapable person got posted on. I asked him why their rookie mechanic did not tell me the actual issue being the whole condenser sheet being damaged and a literal dead bird sitting in the car and his reply was "Mechanic must have missed it" . I told him the job their team was paid for, was not done properly and the information provided "Refrigerant contaminated" was worthless as I still had to pay another location for the same job they were supposed to do. Phil's reply was "Charge is for the time Mechanic puts into the vehicle, He still worked on it". Even though I was told to take the car to another agency and the time technician put was worthless, I asked him the $170 is hourly however the max time your mechanic put was 10 mins. Phil's response "No, it was more time actually as we do a car wash as well".
I am filing this case with the consumer board as this had me suffer in peak heat for 3 weeks in addition to costing me worthless inspection fees and mental distress of trying to make a guy called Phil understand his job.
