Yep this is a rip off...they want to charge me 700 for the compressor and 100 for the receiver dryer and 200 to install them then they want to charge 120 to evacuate and recharge the a/c...does anyone know if there's a how to thread on replacing these parts?

RETAIL on a new OEM compressor is only $529.56.....so that alone, I would say is a ripoff, if they're going to charge you $700 for just the compressor.

There is a Universal filter that should be replaced too. If doing the a/c repair work, may as well do that.

all good posts, but it is not good to vent this stuff into the atmosphere. Better to have a pro evacuate the system and store it.

My AC is hosed as well and was thinking of taking it somewhere to do the whole thing but I'd rather get the parts I need and replace them and just take it somewhere to vacuum and recharge the system. If I wanted to replace everything, what parts do I need? Can someone give me a parts list?
