2002ss 3.8
I have a 2002 ss 3.8. Car has about 76000 miles on it. Lately, a few problems: water leaks thru courtesy light under passenger side dash, during heavy rains(Florida). Also, started hearing noise like a bad bearing, when first starting. If I turn on the air conditioning, the noise stops. Took vehicle into repair shop and was told the compressor is shot and will cost about $750.00 to repair. Does this cost sound about right? Thanks for any insight.

For the leak it sounds like a drain may be plugged up somewhere. For the A/C the price you were quoted sounds right. My compressor leaks & wont hold refrigerant. To replace it, all the lines & everything else related to was an estimate of $1K. I'll just roll down the windows for free

$750-$1000 is about right for the A/C work so long as that includes everything...refrigerant recovery and re-charge, complete system flush, evaporator and condensor cleaning, new compressor, receiver-drier, orifice tube and o-rings.
I did the A/C system on my car myself with a little help from my HVAC buddies that I work with at the Mechanical contractor we're employed by. Takes several special tools.
