I'm not terribly happy with Frank Ancona Honda. :(

Got the car back tonight. It does cool fantastically now, but:

1. Now the radio reception doesn't work right. It seems like they may have stretched or partially cut the antenna wire.

2. They spilled refrigerant with green dye in it on the passenger-side floor mat. This isn't exactly a pristine vehicle, but come on!

It's obvious that they did work under the dash on the passenger side for several reasons (spilled R-134a on the floor mat, glove compartment re-arranged, R-134a on the firewall where the A/C lines enter the passenger compartment). This indicates to me that they did end up replacing the expansion valve which was probably my only problem before which means I didn't need to buy a new compressor.

The invoice lists:

- compressor ($503.18)
- stator ($81.38) -- what is this?
- clutch ($159.95)
- 2 Units of R-134a refrigerant ($9.97 ea.) <-- this is cheaper than last time. It used to be $17.94 each unit. hmmmm...

I'm going to call the dealer tomorrow and complain to the service director.
