Took my car in for new Freon......because the air conditioner still blows hard.....they charged it up and told me I had a hole in my compressor that would cost me 650.00 to fix? Probably caused by a rock hitting the compressor......could this be true? Should I take it for a second opinion? The text cost me 50.00
