    Need a KNOWLEDGABLE shop to finish up the AC in my RIV. From what I have read the Rivs are not quite as simple as a chevy truck...but anyway I already paid $2000 to a yahoo in TULSA for him to replace everything and it not work.

    Working in AC stuff is really not my thing so if anyone knows of a good shop in the phoenix area who can do the job in a decent time frame I would love to pay them...haha

    Thanks for any help you can lend me....

    If'n ya wanna drag it to FL....I can hook you up for a case of Dr. pepper....seems that I've gotten pretty good at custom a/c systems of late...

    Really, I honestly did not know a lot about car a/c systems until recently....they really are not all that hard as the systems are compact and there isn't a lot to em....what's the problems? I'm workin on my 4th custom install and 3 repairs on my clunkers (they may be flaming turds but the farkin a/c works!) even a dumbass like me can finger em out!

    erock, what's it doin' or not doin'? I'm not super well versed in A/C, but have done a bunch of custom installs. Maybe it's something that just needs a second head thinkin' about...

    It don't do much. The blower despite being new blows barely. Only heat comes out. Barely. I think the new condenser was damaged when it was put in so I have another. I have replaced the compressor, blower motor, couple switches and relays condenser. All new. From what I have heard that the riv stuff is a bit different. Who knows...not me.

    You are in the right city, more or less:

    Arizona Mobile Air
    3601 West Clarendon Ave
    Phoenix, AZ
    602-233-0090

    Guy that owns the place is Tim, and they will work on hot rods / custom systems.

    An old family business. I have used them for decades, also a good online source of quality A/C parts.

    They can square your car away.
