Surely it’s a simple matter of cost and convenience—right?
If you don’t want to know the industry secrets and are happy to “roll-the-dice” with your precious time and money, then yes, it is.
If you’re okay with that, you should go get as many quotes as you can, then book in with the cheapest service you can find that has the earliest availability.
However, if you’re a savvy motorist and want to know what you should be really looking out for, then read on…
They tend to have fixed-premises or garage-type workshops and cater to all types of electrical and mechanical aspects of a vehicle—they can do a bit of this and a bit of that. But because of their fixed-premises, they also tend to have large overheads and therefore they’re naturally incentivised to find extra “problems” with your vehicle—so they can cover those high operating expenses.
These operators offer the cheapest services out there. They do so by minimising every possible cost. Most often by using unlicenced and unskilled labour.
Sometimes, they’ll even use illegal, cheap and dangerously explosive LPG, instead of certified air-conditioning refrigerant. Often they'll also use second-hand or salvaged parts, repaint them and pass them off "as new".
And, if you have a problem after the repairs are performed (and you probably will), good luck getting them to warrant their work—or getting your insurer to pay-out your subsequent repairs claim.
Automotive air-conditioning professionals specialise in automotive air-conditioning first and foremost—not as an afterthought.
Their primary business is the top-notch performance of automotive air-conditioning regas and repairs.
Their businesses figuratively live and die by the quality of their repair-parts... the quality of their refrigerants... and the quality of their workmanship.
These types of operators are professionals—qualified experts in automotive air-conditioning and therefore have their systems and processes down pat.
This means they’re able to repair your car's air-conditioning quickly and effectively—first time, every time.
This means you’ll pay less for labour and reduce any unnecessary time-wastage. So you can get on with life without missing a beat.
Because of the quantity of air-conditioning repairs these professionals perform, they order new parts and refrigerants frequently.
This means they’re able to order the highest-quality products in bulk as they know they can use them within their limited shelf-life.
This means your car will be fitted with the highest quality materials and refrigerants at the most economical price.
That's why savvy motorist always choose the third type of operator—the automotive air-conditioning professional…
This brings us back full-circle to cost and convenience—right?
Depending on your type of car, you should expect to pay between $1,200-$1,700 for a brand-new car air-conditioning compressor replacement, fitted by a reputable professional. If you opt for a non-genuine (aftermarket) compressor, you could save between $100-$200; just beware that it carries a lesser warranty.
Anything less than the price range above and you’re probably dealing with a fly-by-the-night operator masquerading as an automotive air-conditioning professional. Any more, and you’re possibly being taken for a ride.
If you're unsure, take a look at their customer reviews as this is usually a pretty good indicator of quality vs value for money.
Sure you want your air-conditioning fixed as soon as possible. But should you throw your calendar up into the air and change your whole day and your whole schedule around the availability of a workshop—that you have to travel to?
