[Supras] MKIII AC

[D P]

Thanks Bob.

I called Ice Cold Air here in Tampa and they said the only thing they can do 
is convert it to r134 for $139.  Said it'll take them less than a day if I 
drop it off in the morning.

I'm thinking this might be the way to go since I don't even know if the r12 
has leaked out or what.  I'm also thinking if they find what's wrong 
currently....like a leak or something, they'll probably add it on to the 
$139 conversion cost.

The reason I called this Ice Cold Air location is because I noticed one of 
the mechanics had a very nice burgundy MKIII but I was told he no longer 
works there.

I'm very leary about letting anyone work on my Supra unless they know 
specifically about the Supras.
