Good Day fellow tsikoteers! Just want to ask for advice regarding a big problem I encountered with my Lancer GSR. I'l make this short:
Last week, I had problems with my aircon, parang di na sya lumalamig. Last Sunday, I was in Alabang so I decided to bring my car to Wings West Alabang Motortown to have my aircon looked at. At first they said my aircon needs cleaning and charging of freon so I said OK. An hour later they said the car was OK, I paid my bills and before leaving it seems the aircon was still not fixed so they take a look again at my car. Almost an hour later, parang di nila makita yun problem sa aircon so they decided to create a new relay, I think for the compressor. I asked them "kung OK lang yun" and they said it was OK, it took them another 20-30 mins and they said its now OK. It seems the aircon was working so I initially thought the aircon was fixed.

Sunday evening, I drove from Muntinlupa to Sta. Rosa and found out that the temperature was climbing and a few minutes later my car stopped sa Expressway, my car overheated. Good thing I'm about to exit the Binan/Carmona Tollgate when the engine stopped, and since I bought my car I never had overheating problems with it. I let the engine cool and since malapit na ako sa bahay I decided to drive the car moderately. Was able to get back home and Monday morning I checked the car and naubos na ang tubig ng radiator and Coolant, oil still looks OK. I filled the radiator with water and drive the car to the nearest repair shop here in Sta Rosa. Upon inspection, the major damage only was the water pump, thermostat valve and head gasket, minor repairs were radiator cleaning. I also asked the shop to repair the aircon bec. it seems the problem came from the "relay" that Wings West did. The mechanic told me that the problem indeed came from the aircon relay they did (Wings West) and it seems the compressor weren't going automatic (not sure what that means) and it added load to the car which in turn led to the overheat problems.

My initial concern is, what compensation can I ask with Wings West since they were the cause of the overheating? I think at least, I deserve a refund, what do you guys think?
