06 Escape A/C cost
Hello i tryed to run my a/c for the first time friday. got no cold air out of the vents, but got a grumbling sound from under the hood and a strange smell. There is plenty of noise coming from the compressor area, the clutch does not seem to be turning. iam thinking the worst and will need a compressor replacement. What do you think the dealer will charge me for this. i just bought the vehicle in january and with below zero temps i had no need to run the a/c and now that my 3,000 mile warranty is out (no extended warranty) i am stuck with this. the vehicle now has 53,000 miles on it. would i be better to try an a/c/ shop to check out?..
thanks Phil.............

Update
Just got home from the dealer, they said it was the a/c compressor as i kind of figured. They initially quoted me a price of $1,000 to replace it. I said no way that i would shop around and get some prices. Then they say well let me see what i can do for you, an hour later they come back after talking with ford the price is now $500.00 if i will split it. So i say ill check around, and then they say they can do better, $400, for new compressor, new belt, oil change and tire rotation. still a kick in the *** but not as bad as origianlly quoted.
