Question about quote to fix air conditioning on 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse?
So I took my car to Firestone today to get my air conditioning fixed - they quoted me $1700.00 to get it fixed.
980.00 in parts, around 800 for labor.
They say that I need a new AC compressor with clutch, a dryer and a condensor.
I came online to check out the parts price and unless I'm missing some parts it seems like the parts should actually cost about half of what firestone is wanting to charge me for them.
What's the deal? Also, 800 bucks in labor? They're going to charge 100 bucks an hour for 8 hours of work?
Can someone offer some advice for me on how to go to a garage and not get ripped off?
6 AnswersMitsubishi1 decade ago2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS - Overfilled Oil?
So I've accidentally overfilled my oil, the oil line is about a half of an inch past the top notch on the dipstick. I haven't driven the car yet because I know that the oil can get aerated. I don't want to cause any damage to my car by driving it, and I can't get the plug off of the sump to drain some oil out. I don't know what to do.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I might be able to do to get some oil out?
