My local mechanic got a quote from a NAPA retailer for a A/C compressor for a BMW 128i (my car) - the quote was 1095$, the BMW dealer quoted 2400$ - Since my car is a cabriolet the A/C is really optional - we rarely have temps going above 80F in Canada. I decided to have the repair done anyway. Found out about Rockauto their prices and solid reputation. Ordered the parts (a compressor, condenser, o rings, expansion fittings, dessicator) for 700$ less - inclusive of taxes than my local mechanic's quote. He agreed to install the Rockauto parts with no issue. Will order again from Rockauto - shipping to Canada includes prepaid duty. Amazing
