The A/C in my Pilot cannot be re-charged to it's former glory and is more importantly gradually decreasing in effectiveness (from re-charge to nothing in a matter of weeks). The coolness starts decreasing in the front and then the rear. I'm in the middle east so cool A/C is a must for a westerner. The garage has said it's a leak in the rear reverberator (???) which costs about 4 times what the front one costs.

As the A/C is reducing in the front first, is this an indication the problem is in the front??? and not the rear?

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated as I can't help but think they are trying to pull a fast one and it's doing my head in. Many thanks in advance.

I think the garage meant "Rear Evaporator"

 

If they did mean the rear evaporator, it is a couple hundred bucks:

I looked it up at Majestic. I'm hazarding a guess it is the same for all the 2009 Pilots:
