What's included
A parking-lot recharge can from the auto parts store buys you a few weeks and can overcharge the system. We measure pressures, find the leak with dye or an electronic sniffer, replace the failed part — compressor, condenser, evaporator, line, or Schrader valve — and recharge to the exact weight the manufacturer specifies. Carolina August is not the time to guess.
