    Hey there again!

    Okay, three days ago my 2007 Prius stopped throwing cold air, and I am wondering why and how can I fix it? Can I refuel the A/C tank with what they sell at a auto store? Or should I take it to a Auto Shop to have it done? (Is there a shop where I could have it done other than a Toyota dealer?) Thanks everyone!!

    Isn't it under warranty? It's an '07.

    Do NOT use anything but the approved Toyota fluid. The electric A/C needs a sepcial lubricant in with the refrigerant. Without it you may destroy the compressor.

    This is a job for the dealer.
