Default Recommendation on a shop to do AC work in Bethesda/Rockville/G'burg

Sigh... it gets warm AC is dead in the A4.

I don't have a place / tools to trouble shoot it. So it's time to find a shop.

Default Do some basic troubleshooting first

Does the compressor even cycle on? Yes/No, could be a dead relay.

Does the compressor cycle on and off rapidly? Yes/No, could be low freon.

Does the compressor kick on and the AC seem to work but it's warm? Yes/no, could either be low freon, or a dead condenser fan.

Default Compressor kicks on and blows but warm air.

So it's low freon or a dead condenser fan.

Time to search over in the B5 forum
