reccomended place to have AC recharged?
been driving the honda in the warm weather so I haven' noticed that my AC is very weak until a road trip this weekend. About how much does it cost? Thanks.

if there's a leak, evacuation does not make sense. the gauge can help with proper pressures
system pressure varies based on ambient temperature, and there's a range; not an absolute value like a torque setting.
the gauge shows the pressure and ambient temperature and a variable dial that can be set to the ambient temp which then shows the pressure range.
i think evacuation is only necessary after a repair to the a/c system. if the system has lost pressure due to minor leaks, a recharge could be sufficient.
i'm not an a/c expert, so that's pretty much my opinion. if i'm wrong, i'd like to be corrected.

I made an appointment at Fastrack for thursday
I actually just found out a friend has the kit to refill the system, but I don't want to deal with it.

last i checked they were not qualified for a/c repair, but did recharge as favors to known customers
although now that i'm thinking that may have been last summer. wow.
did they bring in a qualified a/c person recently?

i didn' ask that specifically
I just asked Scott if they did them, and he said yes. I asked how long it would take, and he said up to an hour depending on if they found any leaks etc. So it sounds like they do a comprehensive job. Not just a quick refill. That is all I know.
