Got called to job today almost immediately behind another company.
The call was for no AC, upon arrival I was informed that the other company that was there could not find a leak and added dye and leak stop to "fix" the system. It was obvious to us that the evaporator coil was never leak tested, as the customers personal belongings were still stacked in front of the access panel to the coil, and the customer verified that they had not gone near that area.
Moving on, the leak was easily found and repaired in the evaporator area. System pumped down and vacuumed checked for no further leaks. We handed the owner a bill for 2/3 less than the first company that failed to make any lasting repair. They were supposed to be a "PRIORITY" customer ,but still got the shaft for being enrolled in that program anyway.
So glad we were able to help and resolve this issue for our customer.
