If your car is low miles and recently out of factory warrantee and you have an expensive repair (like the evaporator) if you take it to the dealer and ask for "goodwill" help with the repair the service manager can ask someone at Honda and depending on the situation they will make an allowance...

I just went through the condenser and evaporator replacement thing and I considered trading in my car for a new one but with the prices and shortages of new cars it didn't make sense to me. With some "good will" and the condenser warranty from Honda it cost me $800 to fix the car vs about...
