A/c Compressor Replacement?

A/c Compressor Replacement?
2001 S80.
My repair shop said that my a/c clutch had lost it's tolerences; that's why my a/c cuts out when it gets hot after 20 minutes. They say the only way to fix the a/c is to replace the compressor. $$$$$$! After reading many posts and replys, it sounds like this is unneccisisary. Can the shop profesionally shim the clutch for less?; and they are attempting to fleece me?

A couple of alternatives to try before reshimming or replacing the compressor: bypass the compressor's thermal cutoff switch, and have the evaporator temperature switch checked out to make sure it's not reading too cold -- this would incorrectly tell the computer to dissengage the clutch until the air warms up.
