    there is a dye that is made to put into the ac system. use a black light with it and in the dark. once you have put the dye in, use the black light for it to show up with the ac running and start looking for the leak.

    edit, do it at night in your driveway or something. with no lights you won't see the leak with the black light.

    at $75 (what i charge dont know about other places) a recharge whats not to economical at all. cheaper to fix the issue then only charge the system once. vs keep diding it once every few weeks or so.

    it would seem to be a better idea to do it while recharging just to make the customer happy and keep them coming back for any other problems with their vehicle.

    thats y i do it. so now im on my own i can give a service like that for no extra charge. that an it just a lil piece of mind insurance over time.

    the shops i used to work at dont really care once they got your money. an would have tried to fuck u out of whatever they could fucking service writers.
