We have taken our vehicle to the mechanic every year for air conditioning problems and twice last year. The first time the Compressor needed replaced and since then it will not blow cold air after two weeks of seeing the mechanic. How hard is it to correct this problem and what do we need to do?

Well firstly, if your system is not holding a charge then you have a leak no question. But your system is fairly new so I cant understand why so many problems I would just be carefull of these mechanics that say all this stuff is wrong and probably isnt, second and third opinions are always a good thing and doesnt necessarily mean you have to pay for them. I would shoot some tracer die in the system myself the see if there is a leak and where it is, then take it from there, if you need anything else just let me know
