A/C and Badge Removal Question

[asnorton44]

A/C was fine was fine last summer not it just blows warm. Is there a way to check to see whats wrong? Maybe needs a recharge?

And the badges, are they easily removable? I need to start to prep my car for a paint job.

Also there is a MAACO here in Indianapolis that is part of the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and has good Google reviews. Worth taking the car there to paint? I have heard bad stories about MAACO in my city but this particular shop seems to be doing good work. They also use DuPont paint.

My car needs a $h1t ton of prep work, bunch of rust etc. They quoted $770 prep + $600 paint/materials.

Thanks.

Make sure the compressor actually engages - if it doesn't, swap the A/C relay with another one of the same color.

The badges have a ton of adhesive on them. There will be residue that's fairly difficult to remove left on the paint.

I had some body work done at my local MAACO, but no paint (yet). From what I've read, quality of a particular MAACO really depends on the shop owner.
