How much does a car evaporator replacement cost?
My car’s air conditioning has not worked for years–it’s pretty old. I finally decided to get it fixed, but the mechanic I took it to said that it was going to cost about $1,000. That seems a little ridiculous for an AC fix. He said that my car’s evaporator is broken and needs to be replaced. Does that sound like a normal price for replacing a car’s AC evaporator?

Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve been going without air conditioning for so long – no one likes driving in the sweltering heat! Sadly, yes – $1,000 sounds about right for a new evaporator. In general, a car evaporator replacement costs about $900 to $1200 for parts and labor – depending on the type of car and the hourly rates of the mechanic you use.
You can always get quotes from other competing mechanics, but you’ll likely get very similar numbers.
