A/C compressor

[yaryar83]

Hi All,

I am looking for some input. I have a 2007 Toyota Yaris 4-door Sedan. I have been really impressed by the car. However, the car was recently in a car accident, and there was a large amount of damage to the front right side of the car. The engine ended up being okay, and there were not any major issues besides obtaining a new hood, bumper, etc.

When we got the car back, we noticed that the A/C is going in and out. The body shop were had it fixed said that it was structurally sound when they inspected it and thought it was an underlying issue with the A/C compressor that was exacerbated by the accident and subsequent A/C recharge. The A/C compressor is located on the opposite side from the car's point of impact.

My question is if anyone would know if there are any known A/C compressor issues with the 2007 Yaris. The air conditioner has never really been that cold since I bought the car, and with the recharge the temperature is much colder (minus the problem of it blowing out hot air).

Basically, should I believe the auto body's shop explanation of a previous underlying issue?

Thanks.
