Tell him to take a look at the MACS (Mobile A/C Society)site. About ten years ago I started having customers asking me to look at the A/C systems on their equipment. I initially did some looking and had one call a local guy I had heard about. That went South when I was doing some other work on a machine when he came out to do his thing. If everything on the machine wasn't factory he didn't have a clue. From that point on I got online, found the MACS site, took their online course, and got my card that way.
