Our take on the Remanufactured Compressor

A remanufactured air conditioning compressor for GM vehicles, rebuilt to factory specifications with new seals, bearings and clutch components. It is the budget alternative to a new OEM compressor, typically costing a fraction of the dealer part. It fits only the specific GM models and engine listed for the part number, so match the number before ordering.

Questions and answers

Is a remanufactured compressor worth it over a new one?
For an older GM vehicle, yes. It costs a fraction of a new OEM unit and can last years if the system is flushed and the drier is replaced. On a newer or high-value car, a new compressor is the safer buy.
What is the core charge?
Most sellers add a refundable core charge to the price. You get it back when you return the old compressor in the supplied box.
Do I need to replace other parts at the same time?
Yes. Replace the receiver-drier and any orifice tube or expansion valve, and flush the system. Debris from a failed compressor will destroy the replacement.
How do I know it fits my car?
Match the part number and application list to your exact model, engine and year. GM used several compressor types across similar cars, so the VIN or RPO codes help confirm.
Does it come with oil and a clutch?
Most remanufactured units ship with the clutch installed and a small charge of oil. Check the listing for the oil type and add the amount your system specifies.
