AC trouble/ Liquid Line I took my car to an AC shop today to get the leak checked out and they said that my AC Liquid Line has a hole in it and it has to be replaced. This is a dealer part and they are charging me 190 bucks to replace(that includes parts, labor, etc).
My question, is this easy to replace if I bought the line from GM?
Then they also told me there can be additional problems because they couldnt completely run the test because of the ruptured line? So Id have to pay 190 then another 30 to run the test...
What should I do ?

For $190, just let them replace it................
And for better measure have them replace the accumulator, maybe an extra $100(?)
It may not be difficult to replace the line, but you don't have a $3500 AC machine either and years of AC expirience.

i had my compressor replaced then two weeks later i had a line that was rubbing on something and with the new part and labor it was $110 but it was the guy that had just replaced my compressor and he felt bad..just do it so it doesnt end up ****** up your compressor..a new compressor alone cost $515
