The AC would stop blowing cold air when the car was still but work fine when it was moving. I brought in my car and my advisor Jamie took in my car. They took in my car for a diagnostic, and after a week concluded that the whole electrical junction box needed to be replaced, a ~$900 dollar fix (parts & labor). This fix made no sense to me since the AC did work just not when moving, and so I asked Jamie to explain to me how this was the proper fix, he couldn't give me a good reason so he brought me to another guy who also couldn't give me a good reason or explanation. They said "I trust my tech, if they said it's that I have to go with that." OK - fine, I'm not a mechanic so I trusted them. Before I paid I asked Jamie what would happen if changing the junction box didn't fix it. He replied stating that I could bring it in for another diagnosis for no charge. Fair enough I suppose and agreed to pay for the fix. Big mistake. 3 days later I'm having the same issues occur. What testing did they even do? I couldn't believe it, and brought it back. They took it in and held on to it for another week, and concluded that it might need a coolant flush or it might be the ambient temperature sensor. They recommended fixing both, for another total of ~$800 dollars. I was NOT going to pay again for something they seemed to not give a good answer to. So I did what I should have done from the start and googled a fix, and found that it might be the ambient temperature sensor, a part that costs $8 dollars on Amazon and can literally be done in less than 10 mins, without even opening up the hood or doing anything (youtube it, it's stupid simple). So I ordered the part and changed it myself and it worked perfectly. I've had my car for 2 weeks now and no issues. I will never bring my car here ever again. I went back and spoke to Jamie and told him exactly what I'm writing in this review and he didn't seem like he cared, these people believe their always right and don't care that they completely take advantage of people. They should feel bad. What they do is WRONG. More
Leif Johnson is always a pleasant experience. We will continue to use them for our car buying needs.

Didn't seem to do anything. Vehicle is in no better running condition. And still charged for diagnostic fee. Didnt take the time to give a Military discount toward cost. running condition. And still charged for diagnostic fee. Didnt take the time to give a Military discount toward cost. More
