A/C 700

The evaporator...and no, you don't have to disassemble the entire dash. A quality evaporator should cost around $110.00, then you have the accumulator, the orifice tube, and the freon. Now if it is just in the "general area" of where the lines go from the accumulator into the evap, there is a port charge valve there that ALWAYS leaks. Though evap leaks are WAY common as well. We charge 7 hours (the guys have to eat) and this includes diagnosis, R&R, evacuate, charge, and test. For comparison purposes, the cost here, with parts, mark-up, labor, tax, etc. is $699.82. What are they doing? Replacing the heater core and the evap?
