Message	I think he's just finding an excuse to not go the extra mile to make me satisfied. He's already lost a lot of money working on my car, so I think he's just trying to make some back. The unfortunate thing about my current situation is that I have to drop my car off in the evening and pick it up in the evening, meaning I have no time to talk face to face with this guy. He's not leaving me any records of what parts he's replaced, or when. Can you explain how overtightening the AC belts would cause the seals to fail? To me, it's pretty obvious that it's the compressor because the last time I checked, it's so caked in UV dye that it's bright yellow.
