Hi guys, I just recently got my Perodua Axia aircon compressor magnetic clutch replaced, because it's spoiled already. The workshop charged me RM335 for the part (not original part) and RM50 for the labour cost. I understand workshops usually mark-up the prices of spare parts to increase their profit margins, but I need to know if I kena cutthroat ady or is it a fair price to pay ~RM380 to replace aircon compressor magnetic clutch / magnetic coil. If I really kena cutthroat, how much should it actually cost? Any mechanics or experienced car owners can shed some light on this?

QUOTE(waghyu @ Feb 1 2021, 02:14 PM) What is the issue with your aircond in the first place ? If overfill gas also can trip/sabotage the aircond compressor so they can claim the clutch broken. The clutch memang broken ady. Magnetic power is very weak. Gas wasn't overfilled before. Since 1 week ago, my car takes about 5 to 10 mins of engine running for the aircon to start blowing cool air. Already wanted to service aircond soon, but mana tau today the aircon just stopped blowing cool air.

QUOTE(fireballs @ Feb 1 2021, 02:21 PM) should calculate this way, part rm100, labour 280 Malaysia culture don't appreciate labour, I think that's why the bill come as clutch 300 labour 50 I actually don't mind the labour cost to be RM200+ if they can be upfront about it though.

QUOTE(fireballs @ Feb 1 2021, 02:41 PM) Well.. lazada say the clutch is rm100 But the amount of time spent to troubleshoot, take apart The guy probably used 2 hours at least. So consider labour rm100 per hour lah True, took two hours+ to finish fixing it.
