The replacement AC unit will take another week so I'll be driving around in the scorching heat for the next week.
And I'm out the full $2,000 as the car only came with a 90-day warranty.
Not the best day. Canceling my plans to order SotL vinyl.

Dealerships are always the most expensive option for repairs. Unless the car is still covered by the dealer's warranty, I'd get a second opinion from an independent garage or mechanic. It could save you a significant amount of $.
Also, it's worth spending a few bucks on a code reader so you can get an idea of what's wrong with your vehicle beforehand. You can get a decent one for under $100 these days. I always have one in my glove compartment.
