He would check the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, but if they required parts, they would have to wait.
I could feel the heat pouring out of the car door when I opened it. I slid onto the seat as the heat of the seat burned through my pants. I couldn’t even keep my hands on the steering wheel, let alone keep the sweat out of my eyes. I planned to start the car and not get back in until the air conditioner had cooled down. Regrettably, no cooling occurred. The air conditioning system was making my car even hotter than 95 degrees outside on the tarmac. I called a nearby service station and asked if they could take my car in for some Heating, Ventilation, and A/C work. He told me that if I arrived in fifteen minutes, he would pull the car into a bay and inspect the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning system. If I was any later, he’d be gone, and I’d have to wait until Tuesday. On weekends, he did not work. I got in my car and hoped I didn’t pass out before I got to the service station. He didn’t take long to pull the car into the bay, but he couldn’t help me until Tuesday. He would check the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, but if they required parts, they would have to wait. I asked him to check the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems and tell me what was wrong. He summoned me to the counter after ten minutes. He stated that the entire heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system would need to be replaced. He asked if I wanted to pay upfront or put a debit card on an account and pay when he got the current Heating, Ventilation, and A/C in the shop and installed it.
