OK ... My A/C only blowes warm air , no cold air , I took it to a mechanic
he recharged the system with freon and dye for $179.00
The freon leaked out in 2 hours . I brought back so he could see where the leak was .He replaces the compressor inlet and outlet seals o-rings and say it's fixed for another $300.00 . I leave and in 2 hours the freon has leaked out again , no cold air .So i'm kinda gettin ticked off now and I bring the van back again . He checks it again for a couple of hours and tells me that i now need a front condensor and a rear evaporator .
The quote is $1487.63 to fix . $1032.46 for parts and $455.17 for labor.
I checked for the parts on the net and they come in way cheaper than $1000.00 ...more like $400.00 .
Shouldn't the mechanic have done a pressure test on the system after replacing the compressor inlet and outlet seals o-rings ? Then he would have known that there was still a leak ?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated ...Thank

I do not believe your tech did you any favors, generally when a system is recharged some dye is added to the refrigerant and then with a black light and UV goggles the tech can see if there are any leaks in the system. My advice is to find another shop, explan what has happened and sk if they can help you.
I do not know your tech, but some are just pull and replace folk. I am not a tech but I have a set of manifold gauges (Harbor Freight), UV goggles and a Black Pen Light. Anyone can buy the UV dye and put it in the system, run her for a short period and then with goggles and light, look for leaks. I feel for yu as no one wants to throw money at their car.
