Replacing air compressor, etc
Hello All;
I just got an estimate for fixing my air in 1997 accord se, 4cl, 134,00 miles, just blows warm/room temp air, not cold. Was told with Honda parts, new, would be about $1000.00 including labor. This is replacing everything. They said this was necessary.
Is this high? and do I need genuine Honda parts? This isn't a dealership,but a well respected shop that's always very busy.
Also, Having water pump, timing belt, and valve gasket replaced, for $650.00, for comparison on cost.
Just trying to find out a little info. I did look up the cost of compressors, and they vary a great deal, that's why I ask about the Honda parts being important.
Thanks!

no you dont NEED honda parts, you can get whatever
And what does it need? just the A/c Compressor?
You could put that in yourself easy enough
And 650 for the timing belt and water pump is about right

Re: (standbackimapro)
I guess my question was more like how much better/is it worth it to pay the extra for the genuine Honda parts. The AC is everything involved with it. Whole system completely new everything. Left the list of parts at work.
Thanks for the reply!
