We have a 2008 Nissan Versa Sedan with 110,000km on it. The past year we have had problems with the AC. A few months ago, it stopped working again so we brought it in to out local mechanic. He thought at first there was a hole in the hose but he couldnt find it. After a lot of inspection and trying different things he came to the conclusion the compressor is gone.
So I ask him for a price to fix it and he wants $1600. So I guess my question is, am I being taken for a ride here? I did some research and places like rock auto sell the part for around $300. As do a lot of other places I have looked. Is this part extremely difficult to install where it would amount to around $1300 in labor? Is this figure in the right ball park? Like sheesh I dont want to pay $1600 for air conditioning...but its soooooo hot outside I would like it back for cheaper obviously
Any comments or advice would be most welcome!
