This is kinda sorta home repair. I need to recharge
the a/c on a 1999 chrysler and the local garage wants $124 to do the
job. That seems too high for me. Can I get a can of R134 from auto
zone and do it myself? If I can please tell me how to do it after I
find the leak. TIA


Not really a good idea with modern A/C units. First you can get
injured. Second you can damage the equipment. Third you will likely ignore
the leak that was the reason you needed a re-charge to being with. Last if
you don't get it right, while it may work, it may not work as intended.

Best bet is to have a good pro do the work. Look for a shop that
specializes in that work (often combined with radiator work). They will
generally be better at the work and more often than not cheaper than other
shops.
