That’s a good idea when specials are available. I’ll keep my eye open for a deal.

I now go to privately owned shops where the owner/mechanic does the work.

You are 100% correct except that the AC system uses a “low pressure sensor” and not a switch but you are still right !!

Same basic theory though.
