Land Rover Repair: air conditioner Range Rover 4.0 2000, rangerovers, condensor

Question
Took my Range Rover for service because the air conditioning was not blowing
cold air. Thought I would need freon and instead the dealer claims it is a $2300
repair to fix the condenser and another rusted part. This seems high for a repair
your thoughts.  

Answer
Without knowing the prevailing labor rates in your area, and exactly what parts are needed, there is no way to evaluate value of the number you have.

I will say there are plenty of AC repairs that are costly, and if the car needs a condensor, fans, a drier, and more the number is probably realistic.  Just because it's costly does not mean it's wrong.

If you think the dealer is high - and that seems to be what you are saying - you might be able to find an independent in the shop list on www.rangerovers.net

Best of luck with your choice,
