Default Best place in SoCal who does AC

summer is coming and my AC unit is broken

I have the brand new AC compressor on hand. I just need them to install and put freon in

Where is the best and cheapest place to get it fix? A place i know is charging 300 just to do everything. too expensive just to do this

any suggestion anyone? i live at 626, i am willing to go to anywhere if its the best

I had a guy do my AC in san Juan Capistrano. Pretty far from you. But he did really good work and guarantees his work for like a year. He thinks there might be a leak in my system so he added dye and new freon and all that for $80, and that $80 includes finding the leak next time I come in

$80 for NEW FREON!!!! wow....i did the leak test my self with dye. I bought two bottles freon with leak detector from pep boys for 30 bux. only used one of them and i found the leak to be the compressor. 80 seems right for a mechanic to charge if he does a complete flush in the system.

I did my AC at Fuji Auto in Pasadena. They are better than any other places that i tried. Every place i went too ask for 300+ for the AC. they quoted 210 for me. They are reasonable people. No lies, no schemes. only the true.

They only do japanese cars only, mainly honda and toyota.

I recommend. cost me 45 for freon(1.5). and 165 for labor. rest was parts.
