Default Home A/C repair

Our son needs a capacitor for his compressor and motor on the A/C it is a dual cap no biggie.
He called a place that is about 35 miles from him and they want 14.10 for it
He thought well maybe He could get one from a local A/C repair guy
Called one and they only service will not sell a part. Called another one says yep got one you want it.The son did ask how much are you charging for it
The reply 84.50 . He ask are you sure it is that much for a capacitor.The guy would not budge. I believe in a profit and could have believed 25.00
being a fri afternoon but that is too much .There is another place closer for 15.10 so he is going in the morning and get one

couldn't find the part online? hell you could easily find a replacement capacitor from digi-key for a fraction of the 14.50 cost.

He did go up and pick up the cap and the place 30 mile sor so away and it was only 14.10 as stated brhink and new out of the box or at least looks brand new with the box
So not a bad deal at all. Think I will be buying anyparts I need from there as well.
