The work order showed that they did an evac, tested with the dye, found the leak at the valve then recharged.
Almost 2 weeks now, the A/C still blows cold like it should. If it fails, I will be honest with everyone about it. I was ready to spend the approx $1500 that the independent shop would have charged, IF it was necessary. I was also considering doing the job myself. I would have had the system evacuated and recharged at the shop but at home I would have pulled the dash and air box to replace the doors inside.
