The biggest problem I have is being a woman, 3 places and al they say is oh, its going to cost $400. I tell them it's not the compressor. It just run out after 10 days, to me its a leak and they want mto rip me off. Living in the metro area getting a honest mechanic is like finding a needle in the hay stack. I don't mind paying well. I just don't want to be scammed. The car has had a noise like a bad belt. I have the car 5 years and every time a get tires or a tune up orr any work, they tell me another story its this and that and your going to break down. Well 5 years and it alwalys passes inspection. Doing reach I found out mazda maitas make a annoying sound. The car is great and I just want the air fixed and a honest price for parts and labor.I will not take my car and leave it with any body. Plus I want to see the useed parts. Its a pain being a female.

You seem to have some serious trust issues with our trade. I don't know what to tell you.
