hmm, could be a leak. Most shops do free diagnostics so you can bring it in and ask if there is something wrong.
@dkns1
Did they quote you first? The law in canada is that there is only so much more you can charge past the quote given. I forgot the precentage, but it was about 10 - 20. So there fore if they gave you qoute for 1000, they cant charge you more then 1200 lets say. thats purely illegal. Look it up in your location, you might be able to get out of it, considering how they did not even warn you before making their own decisions!
