tutsiwarrior Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I've got a 2014 Isuzu Hilander crew cab (4 dr) pickup and the AC is blowing hot air...presuming that a local (not dealer) mechanic pressure tested for leaks and re charged with refrigerant what would be the price for labor and materials (refrigerant only)?...someone said 800baht and that sounds a bit high for a non dealer operation... I could do it meself fer the price of a packet of crisps but I'm drinkin' vodka and can't be bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 800 sounds cheap to me...how could you do it for a packet of crisps ?...would they be a small 20 baht pack, medium 40 baht or large 60 baht crisps...cheese and onion or spicy BBQ ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 salt and vinegar will do, preferably Walkers and a pint of Tim Taylor's Landlord bitter, ta... in the bad old days I worked inna garage in west LA and topping up car AC was a common work order...canisters of refrigerant and the rest of the gear was cheap back in them days and I only got $6.50 an hour...now if they pressure tested for leaks before re charging then 800baht is maybe OK...in west LA you'd take yer mercedes to a car AC specialist with a serious problem... I useta drive a rusty '66 VW combi van meself...the natural ventilation useta be OK at 50mph which was all it could do: ' (honk, honk, honk) get that piece of shit outta the way ye low life piece of shit!!!' tokin' on a number and swigging from a bottle of cheap red I knew that my karma was better than theirs...

transam Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Top up is cheap if no leaks are present, though a gas evacuation and re-gas isn't cheap...The refrigerant is expensive.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
