I’ve always taken my car to Toyota dealership for all servicing etc And all of a sudden I need a new ac compressor. And they are charging me 1168 to replace it. I just feel this is a lot to pay considering my car is relatively new and shouldn’t have this problem yet. And I almost never use my ac (heater definitely) I tried explaining it and the mechanic said yes he agrees that it’s too soon to be replacing any parts in my car right now but it is broken and if I need ac I would have to replace the compressor. He claimed he already gave me a discount that it’s usually around 13-14 hundred for this kind of service. I had no choice and left the car to them (given a loaner car now) I just can’t help feeling like I’m being overcharged :( I did go to an outside mechanic who quoted me 1200 but I went to Toyota (I had told them I was quoted that amount then the mechanic gave me the 1168 quote)
