My father has an old 2001 Ford Taurus. He just put money in it and it is running really good. The thing is now the AC Compressor is shot. Any idea on a ball park figure to have it replaced.

The compressors are relatively cheap and easy to replace yourself.
Pay to have it done should be around $200
PAC
why is the compressor so much higher at a Napa Dealer?
thanks for the feedback..
and 55.00 labor is super reasonable..
Curious, labor is taxed in PA?
Here in Okla, apparently it is not, invoices exclude labor as a taxable item.
Thanks for your input.
I apologize up front if someone else has addressed everything but I didn't want to read thru it all.
Compressors are very easy to replace. The big problem is you don't know other issues you may have now that the compressor is shot. A lot of times once it goes bad people keep turning it on or just keeping it on and it throw crap into the system. You could have a bad condenser, drier etc. You can take your chance and just replace the compressor but if there is crap in the system you'll be screwing that new compressor before you know it.
If I was you I would just replace the compressor. There are some good sites that have refurbed compressors. I bought one for my last job on my car and it's worked great.
Literally easy easy job even for a novice. Buy the compressor and do it yourself. Worst case scenario you get stuck. Find a mobile guy on Craigslist and have him come out and help finish it.
You will need to rent an AC compressor at Autozone.(it's free actually, just have to leave a deposit). This will create the suction to get the initial draw of freon into the system.
