Genuine parts are expensive. Good quality service don't come cheap either.
To fully understand better, pls give a break down of the price of each item and labour.

What I wrote there are the cheaper options but if you are sure of the quality, it's okay.

Just last week I bought hyundai AC compressor for 35k, still not ice chilling but I can't complain. The previous one had a leakage

I AM SURE OF THE QUALITY. I RATHER NOT GO FOR THE CHEAPER OPTIONS .FOR EXAMPLE THE GUY TOLD ME CHEAP AC GAS SPOILS THE CONDENSER. WOW 35K FOR AC COMPRESSOR FOR HYUNDAI ? THAT SOUNDS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. EVEN MERCEDES BENZ AC COMPRESSOR IS 20,000 AND BMW IS 12,000. YOU SPENT 35000 AND IT IS STILL NOT WORKING WELL ? LORD HELP US IN THIS COUNTRY

THE REASON THE GUY TOPPED UP MY FREON IS BECAUSE THERE IS A LEAK IN THE O RING OF THE EXPANSION VALVE OF THE AC UNIT. AND THIS IS CAUSING LEAKAGE AND SO AFTER ALL THE FREON LEAKS IT THE AC GOES WEAK AGAIN. NOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ONE GUY QUOTED 25,000 AND ANOTHER QUOTED 22,000. ARE THESE REASONABLE PRICES ? THANKS

Before you destroys someone's reputation investigate properly.
Genuine Purolator or fram or K&N or even genuine Toyota denso filter can go up more than 5,000 depending on quantity imported and location of sales.

Also, the price of parts as well as services differs with location too. So stop tainting ones reputation or business
