Looking for auto air conditioning, cooling fan repair shop

Hi guys, I am desperately looking for a shop specializing in air conditioning and the cooling fan around richmond, surrey, white rock, or langley area.

Symptoms:

cooling fan for engine comes on every 2 seconds, spins and turns off, repeat. This is with the AC on. The AC does not work as well, it cools only if the engine fans run longer than 2 seconds, Once I hear the fans stop spinning, it starts to blow warm air, and in this fucken weather I am dying!.

I also hear a slight whining noise when I shift between 1st-3rd gear.

Could this be a compressor going bad? I had alternator replaced two months ago, and about a few days ago I added the remainder of r134a which I don't think could affect it in anyway? The symptoms started a day or two after I added the remaining r134a. The gauge shows it is filled correctly ( not over filled or underfilled)

This is for 2010 accord coupe v6 6speed

I doubt if any shop specializes specifically in cooling fans and ac. Any competent shop could handle your issue, perhaps consider an rs sponsor.

I know they aren't in your desired area, but I've recently had a very good experience with Urban AC Autoworks in Burnaby.

How did you add this r134a and what is this gauge you're using. what makes you so sure you're not undercharged.
