Default Any recharge their a/c yet?

Frion is out and was wondering if anyone else has run out before. Can you take it anywhere to get it recharged? How much? What type of frion? How long does it take? Just want to make sure I have all the little details before taking it somewhere.

I have not re-charged mine yet, But from my understanding- the 134a our cars use is an off the shelf item and can be bought for cheap. As for putting it in, I dunno

wish I could help more...

I've been calling around to get it done for my old beater which uses R12, and I've been told it ranged from $150 to $180.

To me, thats freaking insane. Anyone in Chicago know anyone that does this kind of work?

Kmart's the cheapest...they have the entire recharge kit for $20 with a can of R134a. Just charged my mom's A/C in her Accord when I was in Dallas. It's simple to do, they can train retarded chimps to do it.
