Is that reasonable, or I got robed?
$246 for complete evacuation, recharge with refrigerant, and testing? I'd say you stole it. A Dealer would have charged $900.

thanks for the feedback topless.
i have to admit i have 0 experiences with cars AC systems.
i have never had to pay for AC repair before.
since i owned my car i have done everything myself, so i guess i never had the "feeling" for the costs of labor in the US.
don't get me wrong, i have full respect for professionals, and i'm not a cheap person,
but this is the firs time i had to pay someone to do something to my car.

just for reference, the PO of my car told me he was quoted 3.5K to replace the evaporator. i thought he was exaggerating...
i guess he wasn't.
