In many cases, it's not necessary to use the recovery machine. If the
leak is on the low side, it's possible to pump the refrigerant into
the condensor, and keep it captive, there.

Considering that they legally have to drag a refrigerant recovery
machine out to recover the refrigerant from the system before they can
braze it, and the recovery process takes some time, then they have to
evacuate the system and recharge it, it's probably not a lot of money.
