    Shop Wrong About A/C?

    I had an indie shop check out my AC awhile back and they said that the pressure was good. As you guys know, I have random periods where my AC will start to blow warm all the sudden until I shut off the car for awhile, then it blows cold again. I also notice that when it is blowing cold, the drivers side is nice and icey and the passenger side is warmer.

    Is this shop wrong? Do I need a full evac and recharge? Summer is coming and this aint gonna fly anymore. It must be corrected.

    I was having a similar issue last year that seamed to fix itself during a 1,200 mile road trip.

    The PO of my car had mine charged a month or so before I bought it. Last 70+ day we had it was not blowing cold. My indy did a evac/recharge and didn't find leaks. They did put dye in it but it was too cold on the day I took it in for them to check it under higher pressure. I need to go back and have it checked, but it seems to be cooing fine for now. They did say they wouldn't charge for recheck or evac if repairs were needed--just additional freon, parts and labor. You might need to do something similar. They charged me ~$230.
