I just priced 4 seasons from Rockauto. all but evap core 384.00 w/o shipping was about to ask the same ?????Scars are tatoos of the fearless -
4 seasons is hit or miss. most remans are. If you can find "all new" that would probably be the best bet. But you HAVE to read the directions with the compressor. Some ship with refrigerant oil in them, some ship with some soup oil of unknown type that you have to dump before adding 2oz of the right oil. flushing the system is always a good idea and changing seals on anything you don't outright replace is also good. use a dab of the refrigerant oil to lube the seals before sliding anything together to help keep the seals intact.

Then go with something you would trust. I typically just buy the cheapest "new" one and run with it.

the only 4-seasons parts I've seen issues with are the compressors... the rest don't have moving parts and work just fine.

Replaced a reman compressor on my Mom's Blazer over the weekend. It had several part numbers on it, including Everco and Four Seasons. I expect a lot of the reman compressors are done by one company and boxed up for various vendors. Probably all the same crappy quality. The replacement on there is a CompressorWorks brand. It seems to be OK so far, but its been on just about 24 hours at this point. Its actually a new compressor though, not a rebuild of the crappy GM design that always seems to blow it's end seals.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Sent a message to Ray's Auto Air and Heat. I thought I spent like $150 when I bought from him for my 89 LTC. Got most of my hose and ends from there also for my custom install. I'll tell you what his price is when he tells me.
