We've finished, just now as I type this, fixing an '05 City aircon. Part prices for the customer were:

evaporator - 6000
ex. valve - 1980
drier - 1650

Compressor was still okay but it was quoted being at P 14,850.00

False

IMO...false. The only way the compressor can be damaged is:

1. Refrigerant level is low or non-existent and the compressor is forced to engage by bypassing the thermoswitch (nakarekta). By default, the compressor automatically shuts down when the thermoswitch detects low refrigerant levels.

2. When the compressor is not properly lubricated.

3. When the aircon fan belt is tighter than it should be.

4. When the compressor is doused with water during operation.

it will not do any damage as long as walang bara yung replacement evaporator.. also use a serpentine type evaporator para mas mabilis ang lamig ng aircon

Alam ko naman hehe. When I said "replacement parts", I meant they were not bought from a Honda casa where they are termed "OEM" parts. The 2k maybe a serpentine type, the 5k is the laminated type which we prefer to use, but still, "replacement" types. I think an OEM evaporator is about 8k.
Good luck in your aircon repair, a few months na lang summer na naman!
