on average... I have a 1991 Honda Civic. It needs an A/C recharge, it has freon in it now, but I think that its illigal to use freon now. so it would need a change over. I also could buy my own coolant. so I need the quote for me buying my own coolant, or the mechanic using his coolant.
Thanks in advance!!
PS. I live in Wisconsin. Don't know if that makes a difference.How much does an A/C Recharge job cost?I believe your vehicle uses R-12. Are you saying R-12 is illegal? It's not illegal, but the government would rather a professional use it. R-12 blows cooler than the current R-134.
To switch over from R-12 to R-134 is going to cost you a couple hundred at the least, having someone else do it, because the old refrigerant has to be derived and the system has to be lubricated with new oil, and if I'm not mistaken, some seals will have to be changed. If you can, research having someone add some R-12 to your system. It could cost around $80 for someone else to do it and if you know how to recharge it, you can buy the tools and refrigerant on ebay for around $40.
If you don't know how, ask someone who does or call around and ask how much they will charge. You are also going to want to make sure there are no leaks.How much does an A/C Recharge job cost?+/- 40 50 USDHow much does an A/C Recharge job cost?He might charge more using your juice.
