My engine shuts off when the AC is turned on and when I showed it to the mechanic he says the compressor is broken and the parts have gotten in to the system. He says I need change the compressor and flush the system to get it done the right way! Is he right?? or is there a better way to fix this.

-You need to confirm that the compressor is actually locked-up if so needs replacing
