I just found out through a conversation with my son that my daughter has gone almost two years without working A/C in her car. According to my son, she has had it in the shop several times, but the "fix" has never worked for long. Her warranty is long since expired. She is very independent, stubborn, and too proud to ask for help. South Texas is much too hot to be running around in a car in the city without working A/C. I've discussed it with my wife, and I want to get her car repaired "correctly". She works very hard to make it on her own, but with the job she has, she has to be dressed semi-professionally. I can't imagen her driving that sweat-box around and then getting out of it soaked in sweat and still looking good! I will call her this evening and tell her to put her car in a shop I recommend and get this issue fixed now! I will pay for it, and if she doesn't accept it as a gift, then she can pay me back by doing some work around my place that my son used to do for me before he moved.
