I had the same issue mine was on its last leg worked sometimes and not others. I shopped around and got similar quotes as you. Then I found Michael's auto repair shop in fruitland Park. I took it to him and he said if the compressor hadn't failed fully and thrown metal into the condenser then only the compressor needed to be replaced. His price was $600. If it also needed a condenser it would be $300 more. Mine only needed the compressor replaced and works fantastic. You might want to try to check him out. It's not a big shop it's just a small owners shop but does great work at a reasonable price.

Yes, Michael will be checking it out. He said that he could install a new compressor (no complete kit) for $300 to $400.
