Does anyone know of a (respectable) auto repair shop that will install customer supplied parts? (For my Mercedes...)

I need to get the A/C compressor replaced.

I've had luck with Christian Bros, but not w customer supplied parts. I think that'll be a little tougher to find. Good luck either way.

I have an honest mechanic that will install the parts you bring.

Thanks guys. So far it's looking like $1500 vs. $900 if I supply my own parts...

Where's Jake located? General area...

Thanks.

45 and Robinson road close to the woodlands but off the beaten track.

Finally got my AC fixed! Thanks for the replies everyone.

Who was the final shop and what did it cost?

It was a guy that Miguel recommended to me off of Pinemont. Don't know the shop name.

I took my parts (they had cost me $375) and he charged $400 labor to replace the compressor, drier, expansion valve, drive belts, and belt tensioner, and that included the refrigerant and compressor oil. He also repaired an electrical fault that occurred when my old compressor locked up.

So now I have all those new parts as well as new air and cabin filters.

can you send me the guys info?

I need to have my wheel studs pressed out and new longer ones pressed in along with a couple of other items done.

thanks.
