$346 bones Vs. $1600+ for new OEM. Anyone rebuild these locally maybe near Boulder perhaps

Thanks, if I don't use the AC can I still drive the car without harm to the compressor?

Thanks!
I'm an ex-wrench who happens to have a recovery and recycling machine in my garage, well that a ton of other stuff. There is a place in Northglenn (they have a shop in englewood as well) called "Maxair" (303) 452-4543 They can rebuild the compressor, get you parts for it, build you new hoses, supply custom condensors and just about anything. They are good guys, honest business that most of the dealers in town sub their extra work to.

And no, you won't damage the system driving it around with the compressor off. However, when something leaks out often times contaminants get in and cause damage to other pieces
