Hey,

The Blazer’s at the shop right now…

The A/C hasn’t blown any cold for a few months now. The guy just called and said that the problem is the compressor shaft seal.

Does this sound right? Is this a common issue?

I’m in Canada, so unfortunately, there is no cheap fix when it comes to Air Conditioning!

Thanks,

There is no way anybody can tell what it is without testing it out.
The only common problem they have is not working.:grinyes: :lol:
Common problem or not if it is leaking there is only one way to fix it.
New seal or new compresser.
How much did he want to fix it?
If you do not believe him then find another shop.

Check around Ask around
Word of mouth.
Family friends coworkers neighbors business people and delivery people.
Mailmen and parcel delivery people get around and notice a lot of stuff.
Even a good parts house knows what shops are good and not good.
Chamber of commerce and better business bureau and city hall.
If you find a good referral to a repair shop go look them over and talk to them.
Look for a clean looking busy place with nice people running it.
Ask a few questions and ask about their qualifications and training.
Not all places have trained tech/mechanics.
If they do not find a place that does.
Even all dealers do not have all trained techs/mechanics.
