Not sure you in Forester group Malaysia fb group, actually nowadays subaru air-con system got a lot of aftermarket OEM, recon & half-cut parts (China, Japan, Thailand & local) and even better warranty coverage (3 months to 1 years) and the cost at least 30~50% cheaper compare to what SC charging. We been sharing a lot of shop which is capable to service and charge at reasonable price in the group.

If you changed 3 air-con compressor - 1st mostly previous A/C service provider use wrong compressor oil (Need PAG100), 2nd did you knew about A/C servicing/flushing? Coz usually for Subaru member in group we recommend to sent our rides for A/C servicing every 1~2 years once (average 30~40k). My household Xv & Forester from 2015/16 until now still original compressor with every 2 years of A/C servicing.

Few member compressor spoilt they use China OEM & Japan half-cut/recon also no further issue after they follow the same advice by using PAG100 oil and regular service.
