Any recs on honest AC repair local businesses in the area that doesn't price gouge?

My AC recently decided to stop working and I had someone come fix it and they charged $450 to replace a capacitor. The part itself cost less than $50 on Amazon. You're telling me labor costs $400 for 45 mins of work? It's insane.

Many years ago john Moore quoted $6k to replace the whole system. A guy my mom knew from Chinatown came, took a look at it, replaced a single part, and left without charging us. Crazy.

smart
