    Kamias Road in Q.C. (sa kanto near Xavierville). Theyre not the cheapest but so far okay naman yung work nila.

    Try calling also Excellar in Banawe as they sell a/c parts. (you can google it).

    One peeve i have with modern vehicles is a good number of them require the entire dash to be removed for the A/C to be serviced. Something i dont like since at times, this can be the cause for rattles later on.

    Thanks Sir!

    I agree with the dash thing. It's too cumbersome, and could result in electrical/electronic issues too later on if not done properly.

    pag ikaw naman ang bibili ng laminated evaporator(parallel flow) 4-5K yan. serpentine(Series Flow) 2500, pareho naman designed for hot and humid condition yan, dedepende nalang yan sa compressor mo kung okey pa ang discharge pressure.

    pag sa shop ka nag tanong price ng parts my patong talaga sila diyan, kaya lang yun iba masyado mataas ang patong.

    I went to one shop in cainta today and i was given a different perspective. Sabi nung technician malamang daw hindi Evaporator ang problema. Kasi daw may pressure pa. Kung Evaporator daw dapat wala nang pressure. Sabi nya na 20% lang ang chance na evaporator ang problema. Accurate kaya ito? Sya pa lang ang nakapagsabi sa akin nito.

    Dapat daw matingnan muna nila lahat - sa labas ma leak test, tapos sa loob, sa may evaporator.

    May sinabi sya na sa baka sa expansion valve, or may nag expand na o-ring/s kaya nagpakawala ng pressure.

    Ang catch lang sa shop nila ay mataas ang presyo ng parts - Evaporator (9,500), expansion valve (2,800), Drier (1,800).
    Ok lang ang labor sa pagbaklas ng dash at baba ng evaporator at 2,500.

    bro, sobra taas parts nila mataas pa yan sa casa, i leak test naman yan pag na fulldown evaporator, pag alang leak lilinisin lang yan then ibabalik narin, second hand kasi yan di mo alam ang history kung anu-ano na ang napalitan.
    kung my nag expand na oring sa highside malamang which is nasa labas kita mo agad kung basa ng oil sa fittings.
    mga modelong aircon ngayon bihira yun nag expand ang o-ring..

    para accurate ang leak test ,dapat electronic leak detector ang gamitin ng tech at re check ng soap and water spray sa mga visible parts . sa evap naman ,pag nag beep ng 2-3 times confirmed na may leak evap.

    hindi na kailangan tanggalin pa isa isa mga parts just to test for leaks .

    Thanks sa reply sir, parang sobrang mahal nga dun sa shop na yun, i called ceejays and 8500 lang sa kanila yun evaporator; malayo lang sa amin (ortigas extension). Try ko pa ulit magscout around for a shop near my place. Puro sarado kasi kanina, as expected.
