Our wholesale prices are pretty much where retail was a year or two ago. I'm not sure what is inflation or tariffs but prices keep increasing. Especially parts from Germany like Mahle p&c's.

I've watched normal everyday parts triple over the last decade!

When I opened this business in 2015 a 30lb jug R134 could be bought at Sams Club for $75 and they had a mountain of the stuff.

If I can beat 300 now, I'm kicking ass!

That is a 400% increase for no good reason...

My labor rate started at 100 and has moved up to 160.

I'm losing rapidly!

The REAL problem is parts quality!!!!!

For 3 decades aftermarket parts were fine and sometimes better than OEM.

Now EVERYTHING will fail within 1 year unless it's OEM.

I give 1-year unlimited mileage warranties and can no longer install aftermarket stuff.

I've got a wholesale distributor of OEM compressors...

They kick ass but are running out of the OEM stuff.

I bought the last OEM Sanden compressor for a 08 CRV from them. I sold it to my customer for $600 and made a profit.

No more are available except directly from Honda at $2240! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

The estimate that customer got from Honda for the AC work alone was $8500 and they tried to steer her to a brand new CRV (which is crappier now).

This car is worth 9-10K...

I did the compressor replacement AND ALL of her needed PMs for 2K and she was ecstatic!

I'm going to retire and do something else...

We are well under $200/hr and I’m told that is ridiculously low. When you look at what it cost to turn the lights on each day, the people telling me that are right. And a lot of the people saying it are our customers….
