Pieces of the gears had broken off. They estimated a job like this would run about $3500!!! …”

I noticed a burning smell and told my wife that I think my truck was on fire. I got out of the truck, went to the front and saw the condenser fan motor on fire. I was able to extinguish the fire with a can of coke that was on the ground. …”
