MECHANIC'S CORNER: Aircon cannot beat the heat!

This week a Chevy Aveo drove in the shop and had their aircon checked out. The owner said there was no cool air coming out from the vents.

Upon inspection, we found out that there was a leak with the aircon compressor. Now there are 2 options: (1) is to repair the compressor or (2) to replace the compressor. Provided the experience in dealing with aircon problems, the best option is to replace the compressor as to ensure it's longevity.

Yes, replacing a car part may have a higher cost but that would make the owner more confident that this problem would not arise soon. Unlike if the compressor was merely repaired just to make do, it cannot be guaranteed that it will last as long.
