Takes longer than 20min to do it correctly (evacuate system, vacuum system & check for leaks, replace compressor, replace reciever/dryer, replace orifice tube, vacuum system for 5-10 minutes, check for leaks, charge system).
I do charge out the ass on the side. $25/hr book time, plus whatever I want for custom or aftermarket work. I charged a kid $750 labor for a B16 swap into a CRX, and some guy is supposed to be bringing me a 240 for an SR. I quoted him $1000.
