The cost of maintaining your car’s AC system can vary depending on the make and model of your vehicle, as well as the specific issue. Here’s a general breakdown of what you can expect:
Cabin air filter replacement: $15–$50
Refrigerant recharge: $100–$250
Compressor replacement: $500–$1,200
Belt replacement: $50–$200
System inspection and cleaning: $100–$300
While some minor maintenance tasks can be done at home, such as replacing the air filter, it’s best to leave more complex tasks, like refrigerant recharges and leak repairs, to a professional.
