Oh yeah I have no idea where to get AC fixed cheap. How much does a Honda service center charge? More than $800?

Dude the A/C job SHOULD be a piece of cake. Me and a buddy of mine just swapped out his A/C compressor from with a used one from Barely Used Auto ($100 for 99 Civic Ex). I got him onto MacDill where I do all of my motor/car work he paid $4 a hour for the lift(we were there for 3 hours between two cars)$20 for a vacumn-a/c line flush then $12 per pound of R-134(only used 1.4 lbs. Now if you havent already coverted your a/c to R-134 we can do that as well(not sure of the cost)or you can dish out the cash for the ol school freon at I think $50(?..not sure but I think thats right)of freon. Though in a rex shouldnt need roughly more than a lb anyhow. So your looking at rougly $60 for Freon $15 for Lift/tools $20 for Line/vacumn test and $(?)whatever for new used compressor a/c lines..whatever is actually broken. If its just the compressor..which is most common then your looking at $about $90-$100..IF your doing it yourself..OR if you can find someone to do it for you. Or you can buy SOME people lunch and they MIGHT be more than happy to hook it up.

Hey
To properly recharge the freon in your AC system you should not just buy a few cans of freon and pump them into your AC lines. To do it right you need to have it done by a professional with the right equipment so that it is as cold as possible. For example if you replace your own AC compressor and drier you should have the system vacuum of all moisture and old freon etc....and have it refilled using the correct pump so that moisture does enter the system. Moisture in your AC system will decrease the efficiency of the freon and your AC will not be as cold as it could be.
If you do your own freon recharge your AC WILL get cold but will not get as cold as it could get by properly extracting all of the moisture from the system.
If need really good work at a very good price I recommend Pro-Long Auto Repair at 813-230-LONG.
His name is Long. He is a really smart Asian guy that does awesome detailed work. Plus he is very fair. He is located on Fletcher Ave.
Good luck
