The company takes on air conditioning and heating repairs plus routine maintenance in a city where summer heat pushes systems hard and winter cold snaps can create sudden failures.

Customers have reported mixed encounters when dealing with Ambient Recovery Services on HVAC jobs. One person described damage to their vehicle during transport after an AWD unit was dragged without proper checks, leading to it becoming undrivable and promises of a rental that never materialized. Another noted friendly office staff who allowed vehicle pickup only when both names matched the paperwork, while a third praised the people on site and hoped to see them again for future towing needs. A fourth customer expressed frustration over delayed responses after submitting accident paperwork even though they acted quickly on requirements.

Review scores reflect ongoing problems with communication and quality that pull the overall rating down despite occasional notes on helpful staff. Speed and price draw little consistent praise while damage incidents and paperwork issues surface repeatedly across the feedback. Homeowners in San Antonio should expect variable results when systems break during peak seasons. DIRT Score 2.21 from 41 reviews on Finds.

“They damaged my car to the point that it is not drivable. Didn't look to see that it was AWD before dragging it "a ways down the road". It has AWD all over it, and it's on every piece of paper ever printed pertaining to the description. They said they'd get it fixed and provide me with a rental while my car was in the shop. They have since been giving me the run-around, and have not gotten me a rental. I'm not sure my car is even at the shop yet to be fixed. I am now having attorneys involved due to lost wages and much more. I'm out of a vehicle 4 days at this point, losing hundreds of dollars of income. I have no idea if, or when I will have my car back, fixed, out at least a rental. So the lost wages will continue to add up. Worst company ever.”

“Extremely friendly and helpful customer service from the office. Was told I could pick up the vehicle even if it was sent in my husbands name since I was also on the paperwork. This was not true when I got to the lot. Thankfully my husband was there. Just keep that in mind. Otherwise was a pleasant experience even in a horrible situation.”

“There are friendly people working there. I would hope if my car ever has to be towed that they are the one to tow it for me”

“As someone who was unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident back in August, I've been forced to work with this play through circumstances beyond my control. My experience with them has been nothing short of frustrating and disheartening. Despite promptly submitting the required paperwork, the only communication I've received from them has been through hateful letters. It's important to note that I am not affiliated with this company; rather, I've been compelled to engage with them due to the accident. The lack of any effort to address my concerns or provide proper assistance reflects poorly on their professionalism and customer care. It's a pity that I'm stuck dealing with them, but I'll be sure to steer clear of their services in the future. update: I receive a hateful email after contacting the person “helping” me and expressing my disappointment so far. i called my insurance company and got it taken care of. I will be working closely with my insurance company instead because I refuse to work with such hateful people who have not been helpful or remorseful at all.”

“Went yesterday to pick up my items they didn’t send us a letter, saying how many days we had to get our personal items out of our vehicle. They won’t prove and say or give us what they took out of our vehicle. They’re supposed to write everything down vehicle got moved still won’t give us any extra Information the hours say that they are open in the afternoon can’t get through so I’m going to write a review every day until somebody calls me”
