Air Condition Compressor

[SC400 chic]

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I plead that I have no knowledge as I'm a girl.

I took my SC400 in to fix the air condition compressor. Well, being female, the guy thinks he can tell me anything (and I think it worked) as I did not know what to tell him.

Anyway, my car has now been in the shop for about a week. Is that normal? He told me that it's taking long because the hose that connects to the compressor is very fragile because of the age of the car (1995) and that he's trying to save me money by being careful not to break the hose so I don't need to pay for a new one. Am I getting my chain pulled or what?

A/C components He's either covering up for his ignorance or trying to milk the job. Either hose is less than $70.00. Maybe he broke one of the hoses and is waiting for the part. If you have other problems in the future, post it here and get some ideas as to what the fix might be.

Thanks for the advice.
