Thumbs up Los Angeles County Condensor Repair $20

Hey Fellas,

Another Shop Review:

Blanco Brother's Radiator Repair Service
Downtown Los Angeles

Absolutely no affiliation, just a really satisfied customer.

6 years ago, when I lived in the lofts downtown, I replaced my AC hoses, only to discover my front condensor was leaking at the fitment. FUN. So I was driving around my hood when I found this hole in the wall place, decided, WTF let's give them a try.

BINGO! $20 later condensor fixed.

Fast Forward to yesterday, I was preparing to recharge my system and notice prior to adding the Gauges were reading ZERO. WTF??? Thought the gauges were broken but two of them, I don't think so.

I had some left over refrigerant and proceeded to fill. Sure Enough, the rear condensor at the passenger side fitment was leaking. OH THE JOY

Mind you, 6 years was a long time and I totally forgot where it was but knew the general direction. So I drove around downtown and BLAM found them off of Union Avenue



So Papi Blanco who took care of me last time did not even speak a word of English just smiled, took my condensor and started to water test for the leak. Leak found, he proceeded to fix the crack, water tested and pointed me to the water. NO BUBBLES





He power rinsed it and handed it to me. I, in my piss poor High Shool Spanish asked how much, he said "Veinte" $20??? Whoa, I was so happy I paid him $25.

Yes, I have a new Drier ready to install
