Repair worked once – not the second time

My first AC issue was a low-pressure leak. Mechanic patched it, and it worked for a while. A year later, new leak, this time deeper in the lines. Then the compressor started stalling. At that point, I realized I was chasing failures, not solving the problem. Sometimes it’s more practical to cut losses and install new components instead of hoping repairs will last. This article nails that concept: https://www.hstoday.us/author/car-ac-repair-vs-replacement/ – helped me decide with facts, not guesses.
