    Hello,
    My AC in my 93 Honda Accord has gone out and I apparantly need a new
    compressor. There was no leak (had it checked out at a shop) They
    wrote a estimate and quoted me an exhorbitant price for a rebuilt
    compressor ($750) plus labor. My brother suggested woodfins.com which
    sells rebuilt parts (there is one near him in Richmond)that has
    extended warranties on their parts. They have a Honda compressor for
    about $150 with a year warranty . My problem is that I would need
    someone to put it in. Has anyone else used Woodfins or a similar
    service that sells rebuilt parts and does anyone know a mechanic in
    the Fairfax, Herndon, No VA area that is dependable and would be
    willing to charge me for labor and let me buy some of my own
    warrantied parts for them to put in ? Every place I have taken my car
    to seems to want to use only their suppliers. I am probably not going
    to have this car much past next spring and would prefer not to invest
    that much more in it. Thanks in advance.

    For Honda shops in your area that people have commented on, try
    http://www.cartalk.com/content/mechx/find.html.

    For reference, Majestic.com sells a new 93 Accord compressor for $349 (not
    counting shipping). See
