Thanks to this thread, I called Suresh to get my AC checked as it was not holding the gas. I have been using my car without AC for almost 4 months now !!! Every AC mechanic I had been to scared me with quotes without even looking at the problem !

Suresh, seems to be a nice chap, explains what could have gone wrong and in my case, a faulty aluminium pipe ( after he ran some tests) he just called to confirm the fault and the price for the pipe (1300rs) i have given a go ahead and I hope this resolves the issue.

Will update after getting back the car.

cheers

Any updates ?

The pipe he got was not bent at the right places, although they were for a corsa ! He was as confused as I was. Then it was decided to the fix the hose in the old pipe itself. That took another day.

All things were put back and entire system was checked for leaks. None ! So after a bit of oil and gas things started working fine.

Its been over a week now, and AC works fine. Fingers crossed !

Total bill, 2100rs, incl gas + Pipe repair (900rs)+ Labour !

I will be a regular customer at his and would always reccomend him!

Good that your car is back in shape. Was thinking of going to his place to have a look at your car but was busy. Do visit him after 10 or 15 days for a check up.

Cheers,
L&S

Guys, my NHC is having the A/c problem (AC started blowing out hot air). Had a word with the H.A.S.S and suspect it to be a compressor clutch coil and the quote i've got is around 12K. Can anyone point me to a reliable A/C specialist in chennai for a second opinion.

for any a/c related jobs, i would surely recommend "anand" who is running his a/c shop in no.1,shenoy road, nungambakkam, opp road to nungambakkam police station in valluvar kottam road.
just refer to him that you are a friend of pondicherry contessa owner and he will surely recognise at once, bcoz all my friends from pondicherry/chennai do regular servicing there only.
anand's no. is 9385550555.
he does all specialist jobs in all high end cars like mercs/bmw/skoda etc.,. i even saw a porsche in his shed, for a/c work. his charges are normal, not cheap, but excellent service assured.
best regards.

Where are you located ? Home and office.

Thanks Shekaran, Esteem mu office in Vadapalani and Home at Virugambakkam.

If you can come over to Koyambedu, I can point you to a good technician, let me know through PM.

@John: Are you referring to Dakshinamoorthy, the guy Nitrous goes to for all his AC needs ? I have been there once for a condensor change and have found him to be pretty good.

No, he is not the one. Sorry Ravi, I have strict instructions, big brother is watching. :uncontrol:D

Hi esteem, can you drop ur mobile no or email-id, unable to PM as i am a newbie :-)

I have a 2004 Honda City Exi in Chennai. My A/c stopped working last week and Sundaram Honda is telling me that the A/c cluth assembly and compressor coil are worn out and that they have to replace the entire assembly. The cost quoted is Rs.38K :Shockked:. I have a feeling that they are fleecing me!!!! :Frustrati

Can someone recommend what I should do?

I think that I must have a good second opinion on this as I don't think I'll want to spend that kind of money in a haste!!! I tried calling Anand (referred by Shekaran in this thread) on his mobile - but he is not picking up his phone at at all. Do you have an alternate number for his shop?

Hey ananad, even i am facing the same issue in my NHC EXI 2004 model. Let's wait for our T-bhpian's to share the contacts. BTW, can you drop your mobile no @ dkarthikkeyan@yahoo.com will be in touch with you.

the a/c mechanic has gone to sabarimala - reason why he did not attend the calls. sorry friends, he is coming back today night, so friday he will be available for all your needs, i hope so...
best regards.
