AC Authority and Auto

Good service and good prices. Got the A/​C running perfect on a 19 year old truck that hadn’t blown cold air in the year I had owned it. After the repair I took the family on a 700 mile trip in the Texas summer and the truck stayed cold the whole way.

I have taken my cars to Robert at AC Authority for around 15 years for AC and miscellaneous repairs. If there is a list of the places locals use, this shop has to be on it. Over the years I have had all kinds of work done from radiators to fuels pumps, custom and oem. I’ve had everything from simple AC charging, to complete AC system replacements. All perfect! They don’t advertise to the best of my knowledge and maybe I shouldn’t be telling everyone but Ive sent countless folks to them and always the same feedback. Honest no nonsense people doing good work. I HIGHLY recommend this shop to anyone who needs their or a family members car repaired.

When my wife’s car’s AC stopped working, I did what I always do and tried to fix it myself. After many hours of internet research and several unsuccessful evenings trying to locate the problem, I threw in the towel and gave these guys a call the next day.
Now when it comes to taking our cars to any kind of mechanic, I’m very picky about where I go. You will NEVER find me going to a Lamb’s, CarX, or other major chain like those. I don’t trust them and have witnessed firsthand their shady upsells and recommendations of service for totally unneeded things.
When I pulled up to this place, I walked in and was greeted by the owner, Robert. The place isn’t fancy, and it’s not trying to be. My kind of shop. Robert was very professional, put my info into the computer and then got right to my car. After just a few minutes, he had an idea of what the problem might be. Now, I had told him up front when I had first called that I just wanted a diagnosis, and that I’d like to attempt the repair myself if possible. He had quoted me $ 47 for a basic diagnostic, and I thought that was more than fair. But after talking it over and looking under the hood together, Robert said not to worry about paying and to just bring it back to him if I couldn’t fix it on my own. He even gave me the wiring schematic that he had printed off of ALLDATA. :D
After messing with it again that night, I still wasn’t able to get it going, so I’ve already made an appointment to take the car back over to Robert and just let them fix it this time.
All in all, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Not just because they gave me a few minutes of their time gratis, but because they’re genuine, honest people. They’ve been in business in the same shop for about 20 years, so they must have been doing something right all these years (even before Unilocal was around).
