Default Recommended AC Shops? Need it fix before Rainbow run

Hi all,

After racing at the race track, my AC stopped working (not blowing cold air). Car never over heated not even close to it. The car is tuned with a 160 thermostat (I still haven't changed it, still using stock thermostat). I also checked if the AC pulley is spinning, yes it is spinning. I tried auto temp on the ac, I also tried clicking the snow flake button. Nothing any ideas what could be wrong? Also any shops that you guys highly recommend? As far as location, I don't really care where the shop is, I just want to make sure its reputable and knows about corvettes and AC. I called Abel (first thing I did lol) but they're pretty booked, not surprised.

Thanks all

If you just want the AC charged and dye added then we can definitely handle that. If it's more than the system being empty, which usually indicated a small leak, then you may have to come back for a later appt.

Service is not open Saturdays. If you want to come tomorrow, let me know if morning or afternoon is best and I'll hold a spot open to charge the system.

Oh I can't come today. I'll have to file a day off. I'll give you guys a call when I have that day off.

Thanks!
