Drove the car on the freeway this morning and a rock hit the lower front, at first I thought it was a little rock so I didn't really pay any attention to it, but then when I stopped my car, all the sudden I heard some hissing noise from the front, it sounds like it was leaking something, so I check my front tires, both were ok, then I checked the front grill and there it is.... a small hole in the condenser... I took my car to the dealer and I knew it's gonna cost.... but I didn't realized it gonna cost $900 to fix.... if it was an old car, I will just take it outside to fix it, but since it is still kinda new... I have no choice but to let the dealer fix it.. you guys think it's a fair price?

 

Oh man.. that sucks

 

I had a tire weight into my condenser. It cost 600 to fix it.

 

just remove it completely and save some lbs. thats what i would do anyways.

 

so I ain't off that much... sigh... oh well, sh!t happen, what can I say. but I think I need some kinda mesh grill to cover the condenser and radiator... I don't have more 900 to spend you know...

 

I need my AC!

 

Is there any advantage iin having Honda fix your car if they are going to charge for it anyway? Look for an independant garage and a better price.

 

Do NOT get this done at a dealer. It's just an A/C unit... they can do a BETTER job at a shop that works with A/C all the time. And even if they did screw up, what does it matter? They aren't working on your engine.

I bet you could half that price somewhere else. Some shops will even use better A/C fluids that aren't so eco-friendly. Shop around!

 

too late.... the car is in the shop now... sigh....

 

like everone said, it is a ripoff to do it at the dealership!!
but oh well... its in there anyways
if it was a honda specialty part, you would definitly go to the dealership
but in this case, any decent mechanic could have fixed it for alot cheaper
