I don't know why Mr Skipper never returns our service calls. It's pretty awful to know we're suffering in 93 degree weather and no one cares out there.
A few years back I had an estimate on fixing my central ac system from a company that rhymes with "Crooks". Dude tried to sell me a whole new system for big $$$, and charged $200 for the visit and "diagnostic testing" (1st time home owner, and sucker here).
My next call was to Donnie Skipper, and he charged me parts+labor (and believe me, after getting scorched by the 1st outfit, I checked the price out for the part myself). It's worked great ever since. I sent my parents to Donnie when they had ac problems as well. Fair price and good service then as well.
If you aren't in the trades (a/c, electric, roofing, ect) or have relatives or friends that are (or you're just hot, in a hurry, and dumb, like me...), it's really easy to get screwed. Honest tradesmen are getting harder to find. This one is honest, so you can stop looking.
