Keep in mind that I wouldn't sell that compressor for that price if I were installing it. We usually get around $350 retail. We also would not install that compressor for you if you had bought it mail-order.

A service shop will make a significant part of its operating overhead trough parts mark-up. A good independent will offer service and warrantee with that part that has got to be part of the job.

We do not install any customer supplied parts as we will not accept partially warranteeing a job. Our work is 100% warranteed no exceptions. If we installed a customer supplied part we could become involved in a warrantee dispute. By supplying the parts we are able to avoid that.
