My mechanic just did that the other day. unless the ass hole forgot to do something.
Well if you open the system to replace the expansion valve then you got to do the whole evacuate and recharge thing. Cheaper to just by a can and fill it up. Watch the compressor while you're doing it and if it is indeed low, the compressor will come on and stay on. If not, then you got something else going on. Could be a clogged condensor, evaporator or expansion valve. When did it start doing this and what was your "mechanic" working on that he had to add refrigerant?
