Marty, does that mean they tested it and found that it was low on gas ? My
Chevy had a leak for a long time that no one could find, we eventually
figured out that the compressor housing would leak only when it was quite
hot and under full pressure.

What's the dew point of the outside air ? If it's above 60F, then things
may be working fairly well. Check that the recirculation door is closing
off most of the outside air intake. On most cars, you can hear and feel the
difference in the airflow when the door moves.
