Default Help! Who do you trust in north Houston/Spring/Woodlands to fix your car A/C???

My a/c just went out in my camaro and I need it fixed ASAP. It's HOT!! I'm guessing I need a new compressor since it doesn't look like the front of it's spinning at all. I just wanna make sure the place isn't gonna rip me off on what I really need and also, I wanna make sure no one is gonna be goin on a joyride in my car! thanks

I wish it was hot and not raining.

I never use my A/C unless the passengers wants it. I grew up without AC in south texas, so heat dont phase me which is why Im freezing whenever its below 60. But I guess it dont hurt do get a 2-3 estimates for starters, until they do the work and say it need more stuff.

i don't have a prob driving without a/c, it's the fact that without it, I end up with a completely soaked t-shirt by the time I get to class & the ladies don't seem to find it a turn-on, lol

i'm more than willing to drive to the south side, that's not too much of a problem if you can help out. Just send me a PM. I did just have a cam and heads installed 3 weeks ago, I wonder if that could have done anything or not.

If you've got a leak, the system has a low pressure switch that should keep it from coming on. May be as easy as putting more freon in, but then again, if it's low, it had to have leaked out from somewhere. I've smoked 4-5 compressors myself, luckily my family owns an A/C company.
