Hello,
Love your Tube videos....
I have a leak in the AC condenser in my 2014 Stupidroo Forester. The dealership wants < cough> $1800 to replace (new parts and 2 hr of labor). I am not paying that.... I have watched many videos and I am confident I could do the job but lack the tools.
So, I need a recommendation (North Houston Kingwood area) on a honest, reputable, and reasonably priced mechanic that can compete this work.
Much appreciated!

Check around your area. Secondary service shops can do the job much cheaper than a Subaru dealer.
My cost to get a condenser from dealer. 283 bucks. Aftermarket part. 75 bucks.
What you should realistically expect to pay max. 600-800
You can order it and install it yourself. Then take it to a secondary shop for evac and charge. I would do the condenser and accumulator together.
