Honda Air Con Service & Repair Phuket Any Reccos

[Pattaya Spotter]

I posted about this recently in the Phuket sub-forum but received sub-optimal replies (that's a pretty dead group...I thought more expats lived in Phuket) so I will try here. Basically my air-conditioning was no longer making cold air so had the coolant topped-off and it was fine...for TWO days and then nothing again. So I figure there is a leak in the system. I took it to a Honda dealership in Phuket and they have done their check and recommend a new compressor and some other parts for a total cost of 28,000 baht!!! Does this sound right?

 

I mean, the air-conditioning worked fine when topped off...just that the refrigerant evaporated out of the system...like maybe a hose connection is loose or a rupture somewhere. Does anyone know an independent service center in Phuket that can check out my car...specifically a name and location and not "there's one in Kamala on the right when you pass the light"?
