I'm pretty sure they don't use freon anymore for AC systems....really horrible for the environment and all.

They use R-134a. Freon is a brand name for R-12 (old type of refrigerant, bad stuff) . Not sure what a shop would charge for a re-charge though.

I got quotes yesterday for a recharge from two shops specializing in recharing auto air conditioners. $195 and $175
