    if the system is leaking, when the dye is added, it will show up under the black light where ever its at. so wether it be a hose or a leak in the line, you will know where its at and good reference on where to start.

    if he knows where to start, over having no clue, it will give him a better estimate of what would be needed for the fix. and probably what to expect of the costs of having it fixed.

    guy i live with is a mechanic and has been for about 20 years, the shop he works at, they automatically install the dye into the system just for later references. not sure if all shops do this or not.

    has there been any previous work done on the AC or is this the first?
