you would need a ac gauge set you can rent them from any auto parts store, if this work was done at a shop it should be taken back for them to fix, they obviously missed something

Do you know how much it usually cost for the fix? I have searched it might be the compressor or clutch
Automotive Expert
it really depends on what is broken, it could just be a small leak or compressor or havc module, really could be anything, until its diagnosed you wont know what its going to cost to fix, but when you do take it in before you approve anything you can always ask me questions

What should i ask the mechanic tomorrow? Keypoints? I don't want them to offer a lot of things to fix
Automotive Expert
theres really nothing to ask, you just let them do their job and hope its not anything bad, it sounds like a small leak to me though, they should be able to show you that
