I think i'm going to need to flush, evacuate, and recharge mine. How much does a shop charge?

Is it an R-12 or R-134a system?
If the latter (most 1994 and later vehicles), you'll be looking at about a hundred bucks. This figure goes along with what friends have told me they paid to have the service done - assuming the compressor, condenser, seals, etc., etc., are working properly.
You can buy those "quick recharge" canisters at Wally World for about twenty bucks and I understand they work well; but they will only be a temporary fix if something else is wrong.
By the way, I have a 2004 Silverado and a 2002 Nissan Sentra with A/C systems that work just fine (thankfully). I have not yet had to mess with either of them, and I hope it stays that way.
