“In addition to not keeping your car cool, an overcharged AC system can overheat your vehicle. It’s definitely something you want to attend to right away!
Removing excess coolant that causes overcharging involves precision and working with dangerous chemicals. Because of this, it’s probably not something you want to attempt on your own.
To save money, the best thing you can do is request
quotes from different repair shops
to determine the cost and find the best rate.
You can also check to see if your car is still
under warranty
. If so, you may have coverage for the repair.
Since your car needs repairs, consider looking at your car insurance as well. While you can’t use your car insurance to fix your AC, you always want the right amount of insurance coverage for the best price.
