When I get back from lunch, I will give you the breakdown of prices.

I also had to have the lower ball joints replaced at a cost of $365, including alignment.

 

That's not really bad then, from your post I gathered that just the A/C was repaired.

They're not cheap but then again A/C work in general isn't cheap. $600 also includes an R134 conversion (so he should be replacing all the seals, expansion valve and drier). It actually doesn't sound that bad if that's the case.

He said it was a 98 it will already be R134 compliant.

The compressor from advance will run between $200 - $400 bucks depending on the engine. Considering the system will be recharged and you dont get your hands dirty $600 seems quite fair.

Just remember this system worked reliably for about six years, which is normal for a domestic a/c system. It only cost $100 dollars a year to keep you comfortable while driving down the road. 😉
