I'm guessing the compressor is about the same amount of labor as a heater core. If it isn't under warranty, you could've probably saved a hundred bucks or so by taking it somewhere other than the dealership. NOT a job to attempt yourself, and not something you want to take to a service station that'll do the work for half price (with used parts and improper tools).

About 2-300 in labor at the dealer for that job.

If the dealer prices are too much take it to a local independent shop.

I would say come see me but I am booked till the 5th. And if I take another car in before J gets his car back he is going to ban me.
