Hi, what can I do to fix my A/C? It just started yesterday it doesn't want to get cold anymore. I'm a girl and I don't know nothing about car just drive them. Please
help. Some websites said I need to get a air conditioner charger something like that. How much will that cost?

Hello, I'm Danny.

It sounds like your A/C system might be low on refrigerant if it blow air but not as cold as it used to be. They sell a do it yourself charge kit at all auto parts stores for about $40.00. There are instructions on the can and it should take less than an hour to get results assuming there are no leaks in your ac system. Here is a tutorial showing how to add refrigerant to your A/C system:

I've attached a picture below of what the do it yourself charge can looks like. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
