Almost got conned

After months of torturing myself during driving, especially during sunny, HOT weather, finally, i got a break.

My van air con, to those who had been taking my van knows, was a bit out of shape. The amount of air coming out of the air con vents is so pitiful, that an ant would feel it as a breeze, and is laughing away at me being in a suana while driving.

So, once, when i was senting my vehicle for servicing, i asked another garage (specialise in air con) to see what they can do to create a wind storm to revenge that ant, and to blow him away.

That guy took a look, and tell me a lot of crap. The air con coils needs to change, the filter needs to change, no need to charge gas etc etc, and as he goes on, more and more technical terms come bombarding at my brains, till i cut him off.

"Can give me a quote to make the air con working?" I simply asked him.

"Around $130" (I forget if the quote is 130 bucks or 160 bucks, and to give him the little benefit of the doubt, lets say the amount is 130).

"But we are busy now... why not call us next week for an appointment?" he added.

Now, my van has become a fridge, and i cannot find that ant who has been standing in front of the air con vents, laughing at the pathetic air flow before.i suspect he has been blown in the skies.

And i am not $130 poorer.

All thanks to "ah boy", a guy who lives in the same block as AF, and he's specialised in repairing cars.

He just remove the air con filter, hand over to me, and ask me to wash.

And i fixed it back.

And now, to those who are scared of the cold, you need a sweater or winter wear to sit in my van!

To think that i was almost got conned... KNS!!! #*&%@#*^%@#&*
