That’s because AC work is expensive and there are no shortcuts. You can’t slap a coat of bondo on it and make false claims like bodywork. AC either works...or it don’t work. Most people do not have the proper tools or understanding to fix it themselves and when they take it to a shop usually crap their pants when told the cost involved. I learned this a long time ago and invested in the proper tools to make sure I always have a functioning AC system in every vehicle I own (old or new). I spent over $1000 in parts alone last week to fully rebuild/restore the AC in my wife’s 20 year old Yukon, and that’s not counting my labor.
