Classic Car Air Conditioning

[dguzzi]

Where do people take their classic cars to have them repaired or changed over to modern refridgerant?
I've called everywhere that's close enough for me to use and none have equipment to remove the R-12 and so won't touch it.
I can do the repairs if they would vacuum the old stuff out and recharge it for me.

buy your own recovery machine? Vevor has one for $300

If I wanted to do a business yes, for 1 car 1 time, nope.

Take my truck here for AC service, they stockpiled all the R12 they could find before being banned.

spend 300$ on getting it done vs spend 300 on tool you can resell?
you said you can work on it so I'd assume you have manifold/gauges etc already.

since you don't list a location I doubt telling you where I would take it would be helpful.

Sorry, I am in Michigan.
Thank you Malo83, I should have mentioned it earlier. Wish we had that kind of place! (or maybe we do)
