Default I was cheap

so that is all my mechanic did. Actually, he knows me well enough that I dropped off my car after the compressor died for him to look at it. He called me, "Your compressor is shot. I just cut the belt. It is expensive if you want the AC fixed properly. Want me to get you a quote?"

Still no AC

Thank you guys, sounds like a common problem. I'll do it in two stages, cut the belt, then remove when I have time.
