Question

cool but the heat works, the car dose'nt overheat.I won't to know why my air dose'nt get cool, could it be the themostat

Answer
Hi Denardo,

Does the compressor cycle on? Is the system topped off with the proper amount of Freon?

That is where I would start. If the compressor does NOT cycle on with the AC turned on, then most likely it is because the freon level is low. If you check the pressure in system and it is good, then you probably have a bad low pressure cut-out switch which is part of the dryer assembly.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
