Need a trusted affordable cheap Hybrid Specialist in Sharjah (2020 Corolla Hybrid AC botched by previous garage)
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a highly recommended, trustworthy, affordable hybrid specialist—ideally in Sharjah.
The Issue: My AC stopped cooling properly (blowing warm air). I took it to a general workshop and they claimed to have "fixed" it.
The Current Nightmare: Since that repair, the AC compressor is making a loud noise and pulling massive amounts of power. The cooling cuts out intermittently. Worst of all, my fuel economy dropped from 5L/100km to 10L/100km. The AC is draining the high-voltage battery instantly, forcing the engine to run constantly.
I suspect the previous shop either severely overcharged the refrigerant or used standard conductive PAG oil instead of the required POE (ND-Oil 11) for electric compressors, and it’s dragging the whole hybrid system down.
I need a garage that actually understands Toyota hybrid systems, can pull the codes, check the compressor amp draw, and properly recover/weigh what the last shop put in.
Does anyone have a go-to hybrid mechanic who won't scam me? Thanks!
