What exactly is wrong with the one you have? what model freezer. What refrigerant?

Most repair shops make thier profit on parts markup,it you're going to cut out their profit you might have a hard time finding someone to do it. No profit = no warranty also

Yeah I had this in mind but paying 600 for a part I can find for a quarter of that I figured I'd try to find a repairman that would do the labor.

This is an all freezer standing. No idea on refrigerant. Its only 4 years old.

Kind of like taking your own steak and eggs into a cafe, and asking them to fix your breakfast.

Maybe, but sometimes it works. Some of these repairmen "moonlight."

I'll ask again a little different.

What exactly is wrong or what brought you to the conclusion that you needed a new coil?

What model is it. There will be a tag or sticker with a model number.

On the sticker it will most likely have what refrigerant it uses.

Yeah because going out to dinner occurs as often as an appliance going out. Good one.

Repairman came out to diagnose and advised the cost of the part. Its all good now though. I got a second opinion and the original estimate somehow got cut in half. I'm the first person to pay for good honest work. No telling how often these types of jobs get paid without question.
