Put it off as long as I could and had another local shop do it but I decided to do the A/C Compressor, A/C Drier and A/C Expansion Valve.

The summer heat and humidity in Florida is intolerable so I had to get it done and parts and labor were $1,155.

Good luck.
Yeah the Texas heat isn't much better, although I don't think I will actually pull apart the dashboard and do the expansion valve also. I guess it depends on how the compressor and drier go
