So my AC stopped working in my car the other day, I took it to the shop to fix it on Sunday because with this heat and the amount of driving I have to do lack of AC completely and totally sucks.
500$ later whatever they did to my car doesn't work because the AC worked once, then a couple times after the car was running for about 15 minutes. So I've been basically going without AC until I can get back to the shop.
Today, I turned on the AC on the chance that it would work, and it did! I was overjoyed, then most of the way home, about 20 minutes later my car starts making a funny sound like it did when it broke down all the time. I pulled up to a stop light and noticed smoke coming out of the hood of my car. I wasn't sure if I should stop driving or not but since I was in the left turn lane on a fairly busy street I decided to turn off the AC and hope I make it home. It stopped smoking and I made it home but the last 5 minutes were miserably hot and now I'm terrified to drive it all.
I can't it to the shop until Wednesday and I work tomorrow so I'm not sure what to do other than rage about spending 500$ and ending up with a smoking car.
