My mechanic says my AC compressor is failing

My mechanic says my AC compressor is failing, but it still blows cold. Money's tight, can't I wait?

If your mechanic says the AC compressor is failing, it is possible for the system to still blow cold for a while. That is because many compressors do not go from perfect to dead in one moment. They often degrade in stages, and the cooling you feel at the vents may lag behind the damage building inside.
