i went to get a price for custom made lines for my ac. and just the labor was going to be ~$500. they didnt know any prices for any parts they may need. does this sound right? this is the work they are going to do: change the dryer, make custom lines coming off the compressor, wire up the compressor, charge the system, and wire up an electric fan with a relay/switch to turn on when the ac compressor turns on. that seems like a lot of money for just laybor. i dont usually take my cars somewhere to get worked on. so i dont know if thats a fare price or what?

Most places today charge between $80-$120/hr for labor, so he was quoting 4-6 hrs labor. Not an unrealistic price for all the work he was doing for you, although probably a little on the high side just to protect himself.

I was thinking the same thing, here in Dallas the normal hourly rate is around $96...

and they did sound like they were going to do a bunch of stuff.

Being an old man now, and not wanting to keep re-doing stuff, I LIKE PAYING SOMEONE IF I CAN AFFORD IT - BUT WHAT I ESPECIALLY LIKE IS BEING TO GO BACK AND FUSSING IF IT STILL AIN'T RIGHT-

NOTHING LIKE A WARRANTY ON WORK PERFORMED - ask them what kind of warranty they are giving you on the $500 worth of work.....
