how much is a air compressor for a toyota corolla 2009

[Craig Christiansen]

The a/c compressor on my mother's 09 toyota corolla with 1.8L engine was died and didn't blow cold air.
The shop wanted to charge her $300 for this 09 toyota corolla ac compressor and several hundred more to install it and fix her AC.
A stupid question,how much is a air compressor for a toyota corolla 2009 ?
The cheapest 09 corolla ac compressor replacement I find online from HexAutoParts is about $120 with free shipping to my door.
Do you have any recommend and what's the price of your corolla ac compressor ?
Thank you for your sharing.

A Bing search shows $115 - $349. You'll also need to recharge system, so you're looking at part, labor and recharge.

Before you choose to buy the part you'll have to go around to shops to see if they'll install a part you bought, most shops won't but some will but you'll have NO warranty with them so if it's a bad part you'll have to pay for labor again.
