Jiffy Lube.

and if its the compressor, depending on model, it will be around $200-$300 and coolant should be $20. If you dont want to spend the money for the mechanic to inject the coolant, it costs another $30-$50 to get the proper equipment. But ya it will probably cost $100 in labor to work on/replace a compressor

There are a lot of big "fvcking" chain shops that do an A/C diagnostic for less than $30 dollars.

 

[dartworth]

Yeah, see, that could also be read as 20-40 for refrigerant and labor.

 

[Chompman]

Just watch out for a mouse popping out of the a/c.

Get this compressor and get someone to put it in and change out the hoses:
