Seeing as there are an almost infinite number of a/c problem threads, and seeing as the creators of these threads tend to not know how to describe the problem in the topic header
('ac problem' is not an adequate explanation people! Jesus!), I will try to place most of the ac problem threads in here and give a little description next to the link, maybe even sort it out. I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

http://forums.trinituner.com/forums/vie ... +conditionUPDATE: This site has some pretty good differential diagnoses for a/c problems as well, most of them can be found in the above links, but you can get an explanation and certain DIY checks here:
http://www.aa1car.com/library/ac98.htmA/c Repair shops:1) Cool Tech in Balmain, Couva - they rather iffy. If you need to gas up, or change a filter, or you are bringing the actual part for them to replace, then no problem. As far as them figuring out the problem for the first time, i'd give it a 50/50 shot...
2) Rakesh in St. Helena - He and his brother do excellent work, and they don't buss yuh throat with price. 712-8217.
3) Ryanair, Cane Farm Road, Tacarigua - Again, mixed reviews about this place. General consensus is that they ARE expensive.
4) Cool Access - 679-7744/ 750-3885 (Bobby). Freeport.
Comment in the thread about other places you all go to, and I will compile them....
