What did you pay for your last reefer service?

Just curious what y'all have been paying for Thermo king to service your reefer. Oil, filters, belts, refrigerant recharge, and testing the unit.

I was quoted $250 flat rate for labor and materials, not including the air filter. Topping it off with a trailer DOT inspection for $69.

 

$69 per hour at the Idaho Falls, ID. Utility trailer dealer. They are a carrier service center, but also do plenty of TK.

The service went great. Unfortunately though, the DOT inspection turned up about $1900 in parts and labor required for new spring hangars and springs, new torsion bar. Also one wheel position needs new shoes. Not what I had expected, but such is the life of an o/o. Hopefully they take care of me and don't try to bleed me out in labor charges. As I left, the tech said "I usually service reefers, not work on suspension parts".

We'll see next Thursday how it turns out.

 

I forgot to add that for the $250 they actually did include a new air filter. Seems like a real fair deal for the service.

 

They're right next to DAD's truckstop between the Pete dealer and RUSH truck center if you decide to get your service done there.

 

Took them 2 weeks to get it done, 100 miles from the shop the reefer starts throwing a code 26 (low refrigerant). Took it back in the morning, they pressure tested it for a couple of hours, found no leaks- but the freon was low (like it was when I took it in). So they recharged it, and it hasn't had a problem since.

Shop foreman didn't argue with me when I implied that they 'forgot' to check it during the service. They performed work that I didn't authorize, and also tried to replace a torque arm that wasn't out of spec.

No apologies from them, so I won't be going back.
