Recharging Air Conditioner
My AC just went out. The mechanic says that I probably have to recharge my system. He gave me a quote of $250. Does this sound reasonable? How much is the going rate. I live in the SF/Bay Area.

it really depends, but recharging it won't solve too much since the old one leaked out. i would look for seals and stuff and convert it to the r134a from r12. the r134a costs about $20 to fill thewhole system on an accord, and i assume the lude is about the same

what year lude are we talking about. either way i think you got more problems then just a recharge. but 250 is a reasonable price.

just better off buying a whole new radiator. get one cheap from a junk yard. but i guess its more of a hassle. 250 isnt bad getting it recharged. but as old as it is there could be more wrong then you think.

A local mechanic just emailed me and said he could replace the freon and find the leak for $100. I don't plan on keeping this car for much longer. I just need something to get me through the summer. Will just replacing the freon do anything? Thanks
