And I hope it is a minor repair. Unexpected expenses suck. Especially when they make a road trip so much harder than it has to be.

That does not sound like a person who is making a sound decision. The heat is no

1400 for a compressor? I had my whole system rebuilt for a grand.

I'm sure he is. That's why she's getting a 2nd opinion

Just be sure to blame me, random Internet guy, when she's underwhelmed.

Tell her to turn the heat on full blast, roll down the windows and bear it

There are a couple of couple of other things to look at if it went south fast.

With the windows rolled down on the freeway, it helps to have ear buds that are kind of like ear plugs.
