Volvo Repair: 98 V70 evaporator, o rings, refrigerant


Question
I need to have a new evaporator installed for my a/c in my 1998 V70.  How much of this cost estimate to do this job is labor vs. parts?  I know it is very labor intensive, but was wondering what the breakout is labor vs. parts.

Answer
Susan, put it this way, I just did one today.  Labor is 10 hrs.  Our price to do the whole job parts and labor is $980 plus tax.  Some shops are higher.  The price of the evaporator, accumulator, o-rings, oil and refrigerant varies as well.  I dont have those prices handy.  Roger
