bring it to a a/c repair shop. you could just be low on refrigerant or it can be something more involved.

Next time it stops working, check the display in your car that shows the outside temperature. GM vehicles disable the A/C below a certain temperature, and a failing ambient temperature sensor will cause this issue. If the temperature displayed is incorrect, this is likely the issue.

if it works for a minute or two when you first turn it on then stops. it could be your clutch air gap is too wide.
