I'm looking for a cheap place to get my a/c system evaporated and recharged. The places i've looked at like pepboys or jifylube charge $120 for a system check and recharge. I've heard of some people saying it should be around $60-100. Anyone know of a good place around in long island or queens? Or maybe if someone here has the equipment to do the evap and recharge i could pay you?

word up im looking for the same,heres my deal i plan to rip all the a/c out of my car.evern tho i have an extra compressor sitting here incase mine is bad.but i would like to have it charged and see what happens.if its all good cool, if not ill just yank it all out couse if it dont work who needs the extra weight.

I went to this mechanic shop beside Quality Auto in flushing NY. They even have R12 for my 92 325i.

how much did you pay for a recharge?

Just do it your self...thats what i did! if you want me to help! come by and i show you how to do it! cost you around $30-$40 for the feron

i would do it myself but i dont' have the equipment to do an evacuation. I opened my system up to replace my condenser which means i need an evac done first before I recharge. Unless you have a vacuum as well?

How about we all go to one shop and get our a/c's recharged :D I have been wanting to for awhile and meeting x2nervisx would be convenient since Im goin to albany.. Im in the bayside area.

were did you but the stuff from and whatr stuff is needed for a 93 325

60 bucks to top off R12

I took my daily driver ('93 Legend) to 207 St. and 10th ave (Manhattan), there is a white bussiness van for A/C parked right across a BP gas station. They will remove all of the remaining freon and check for leaks before refilling, price $60. I haven't taken my "M" because I haven't needed yet but they now what to do when it comes to A/C. New or old cars and trucks.
