Air conditioning repair
 
I think I fidgeted with the A/C lines too much when removing/installing the TMIC when I was swapping my uppipe, and now my A/C doesn't blow cold. Are there any dedicated A/C shops in town, or should I just take it to one of the trusted repair shops?

As an aside, my car is finally running normally without a horrid exhaust leak thanks to the Cobb UP I got from MorganK this weekend. On the downside, I stripped one of the holes that the BPV mounts to the TMIC, so I have a small leak now. Time to start shopping for a larger one, I guess.

The IC should still be okay. Tap the hole to the next size and use an appropriate bolt. Don't torque it too much obviously.

I've had good experiences with them. They're on Moana right off 395.

I had mine charged there last month. Seems to be working ok, it does change temp a little when the compressor goes on and off, I don't know if that is their fault or not. Also, I don't know why they had to take my car for a drive to test the a/c though, it works just the same at idle. I think they took it out for a hot lap, because the seatbelt on the pass. side had be used and not returned to it's original position :eek:

Thanks everyone, I ended up just taking it to Independent Automotive, just because they have taken care of me in the past.

^ I've used them in the past too, never have had a "good" experience there. I've know Steve for a long time and yet I always end up having to take my car back because something wasn't done right :(
