    Default A/C and the 'stealer'

    Got a quote from the stealer today for replacing the compressor and dryer on my wife's '97 528-

    $1404 plus tax

    What a deal.
    Anyone know of a good place to order a compressor from? Doesn't need to be new or remanufactured.

    search "Rory" in the archives. He knew a place in FL that had great prices.

    Unfortunately I do not have a cite for this quote and I'm too lazy to search for it in the archives. The e-mail address below was given as the source for great-priced A/C units. Seems a little sketchy, but I would look into it myself.

    some time ago, someone mentioned getting a new compressor for $265 + 15 shipping....


    Not only am I lazy, but I can barely stay awake after a long day. Sorry, maybe I will post more tomorrow.

    I had a compressor seal replaced a few years ago by a company in California that I saw advertised in Roundel. They were called I.C.E. and they were in San Diego. They did a great job and were not expensive, although I shipped the compressor from Ohio. I just checked my latest Roundel and they are still in business (page132). Their web site is www.iceac.com and their number is (800) 845-0424.
    Good luck,
    Jim
