Labor is labor, but parts can be had at a discount. > > Bob Yes, I did, and thank you for your help. I wasn't able to get an evaporator core from the places I checked, after doing an Internet search. However, I was told today by my generic repair shop that they would have to replace another part as well -- the receiver/dryer or some such thing. The after-market part was about half the price of the Saab part, and so I told them to put in an after-market replacement. The fact of the matter is, however, that I'm just fed up with this sort of thing. Aside altogether from the cost of the parts and repairs, I am resentful of the time I have invested in taking this car to the repair shop to be fixed.
