Auto AC In Texas…Don’t Go Without!

Here in Texas, people would just laugh if you tried to sell them a car without air conditioning. It is so hot in the summer, you can probably fry eggs on your car and boil water inside it. Also, the thing about Texas summers is that they are long, lasting from April to October for all practical purposes. So, if your ac compressor goes out, you are either the proud new owner of a mobile sauna, or you need to get it replaced. Pronto.
The thing is, especially if you’re a woman, the mechanics around here will take you for a ride if you let them. An air conditioning compressor could end up costing twice what it would on a site like Discount AC Parts. Not only do they carry auto ac parts at great prices, but they also offer FREE shipping! I love free shipping–and on heavy parts, that is a great deal!
The site is not limited to just a few models, either. You can find BMW or Mercedes AC compressors as well as a
Ford ac compressor.
Definitely a great site to go to if you are a do it yourself type of person, or if you simply prefer a better deal on the part you are going to take to your mechanic!
In California it was starting to get cooler these several days. I guess our summer is coming to an end.

I barely used my AC this year. The summer wasn’t very hot and now it’s getting chilly. (50s for a high)

The thing with auto repairs though, it’s usually not that the shop is overcharging you for the parts (although there is likely a little bit of that – called mark-up and profit margin) but the labor charge to have them install it is usually insane!
