I'd like to get the AC working again in the Lexus. It's an R12 system. Anyone have any recommendations for a good shop that does honest AC work, help me find and fix any leaks, and get it back running with r12? I could convert to r154, but I've read a lot of info on why you shouldn't, and heard shops hate working on converted systems, so I'm a little hesitant. I had my talon converted to Freeze 12 in AZ because I was told it was a better conversion choice, but doesn't seem like many people have heard of that up here

$115 on ebay for real R12. That is for 36 oz and you need 35 oz. Just replace all the o-rings, orfice, dryer and put the real stuff in. You can have it pressure tested before you fill with nitrogen if you want. Really not much to an AC system.

There is an AC place right by the old shop in Blaine. I think we used them once or twice, seemed okay. Worth a stop in and convo maybe.
