First sorry that this is another A/C question...
So I've had the 93 gold on tan mark 8 for a year now and this just keeps getting my money faster than my GF. So it blows hot air and I took it in to the "Best A/C Shop in San Diego" Griffins Auto. They first tried to charge me more than 79.99 to check it out due to them saying it was electrical or vacuum. But seeing as how I've read a lot on this forum(thanks guys) I got them to drop the $149 price back to 79.99. I told them how it was probly to compressor, a leak in the lines not vacuum or electrical. They called back like two hours later to tell me that I was right theres a leak in the compressor seal and the the lines and that the comp just turned off. So heres the bill:
$1100 for a new comp, accumulator, seals.
$800 for just the seals and comp(but they say don't do this w/o doing the accumulator)
$126 for just a recharge and they say it will last the summer.
Now I tell them in a week I'll come back and I payed the 79.99 for there time. I get in the car and its blowing cold air on me! First time this summer I felt that cool A/C.
Next day nothing but hot air. So I try to use store bought recharge can to see if I can get cold air blowing again. Nope nothing and the tank was empty when I put the store bought can gauge on. Plus when I took the high pressure cap off there was green stuff leaking out and a hiss noise.
So my main question is... Would the recharge get me a/c for at least a month due to me driving from Southern California to Texas.
Did they just reset the comp and now that it bleed all there freeon it needs to be reset?
did they put just a tiny amount of free on so they would get the biz and tease me with one days worth of A/C?
BTW thanks for reading if you did!
