2002 Air Conditioner

[brewerbruce]

I had my 2002 Tahoe in because the air condioning doesn't blow cold. They told me that the condensor is cracked and it would cost $800 to fix it. Does this sound unreasonable to anyone?

Was it checked out by a repair shop to be sure that is the problem?
How much of it labor and how much parts?

It is hard to price someone elses repair but here is a guide line.
So figure it out for yourself.
New OEM condenser check dealer for price
New aftermarket condenser 150-200$
Labor on condenser 1.5 hrs 100-200$
Evucate and recharge system 100-150$

Thats less than what they robbed me for. Was it recent to a front end collision? Mine was covered under insurance, but then again so were a fer problems that I had before the wreck.....

800 is high, get a second opinion.

Or, replace the parts yourself and have someone recharge the system.

I did get another quote and it was a tad higher yet. I did go back to the original place and had them fix it. It ended up costing me $745 when it was all said and done. I'm glad I did because right after I got it fixed, we had those days near 100 degrees. Can't imagine what it would have been like without the air being functional.

Well, glad to hear your blowing cold again.
