Any shop is only as good as it's worst mechanic on a bad day. You can have bad experiences anywhere. It is like restaurants, one time the service is good and the food is great and you go back with friends and you can't believe it's the same place! The true sign of a good place is how they deal with problems. In your case it seems they didn't handle it too well. I can only guess that the person who was knowledgeable on Deloreans just wasn't around to work on your car. This is no excuse for what happened to you just maybe a possible explanation. The work you required on your A/C could have been accomplished by any good automotive A/C shop (There is nothing unusual about the A/C in the Delorean).
