Yesterday I took one of our company cars into the tire place to get new tires and an oil change. Also the ac was not cooling but compressor was kicking on and off (cutting out too quick), so it has a charge but is low. I pick car up today. They got tires and oil change done but could not do ac. They said when they charged it compressor was making loud noises and leaking refrigerant. They said they just recovered the refrigerant they put in. Ok so I left. As I pull out I think to myself I should pop the hood to make sure they did not screw anything up. I did not do this. Anyway, ac compressor is still kicking on just fine as it did before and does not make any noise, just cuts out too quick. I guess I will hook it up to my machine and do it.
I get about 3 miles from home and start hearing strange noises. I pull over to discover coolant spraying all over the place. They left the radiator cap loose, just sitting on the opening not tightened. Car did not get hot at all up to this point. I tighten it and continue home. About half a mile from the house the temp started climbing probably due to it now being low on fluid. I turned heater on and it came back down. I called them up and ripped them a new rear orifice. Also called our fleet company and let them know.
