A/C
 

Ok i cant deal with this heat anymore, ive got what i think to be a bad compressor in my car, and a good (from what ive been told) one sitting at home. Where can i go to get this A/C fixed, and how much is it?

I took mine to tune up plus on warwick blvd. I dunno where you're located though. I think it was like 200+ to get it all done.

what all did they do? Put it in, recharge it? Im thinking if my compressor IS fine.. maybe it just needs to be recharged.. I live in Chesapeake

Oh they put in the new one and added freon. They also did a vacuum test or something. They checked to make sure it was holding pressure and wasn't leaking freon. A/C was ice cold after that. :thup:

This is in the Newport News/Denbigh area.

Recharging a r134a system will cost you under 20 bucks for a can of coolant with the hose and guage already attached. If that doesn't work you should expect to pay more for a trained tech to use his expensive tools to diagnose and fix your system.

know anyone around the 757 that can do it?

Re: A/C
 

no no no, dont do this, dont just get a can of refrigerant (r134a or r12) which ever it may be. If your system has been opened you have to put a vacuum on it, it pulls the moisture that has entered the system, and plus it helps to find any leaks, and that can stuff is shit, i have worked on many a/c systems that someone has put it in ,because they thought they were low on refrigerant and they over added. Your best bet is to take it to a trained tech.
