    Looking for recommendations on shops that charge a/c systems. I'm in the elk river area but would drive further out for a competent shop.

    buy a manifold set and vacuum pump on amazon and do it yourself. Its not hard and worked great when I did it. Pretty much the first time you do it yourself you break even. th
    That is if your system is completely empty, I wouldn't recommend venting your AC system to the atmosphere, it should be taken somewhere to get reclaimed.

    Right, i've done a number of depresurizations on parts cars but given how infrequent this occurs i'd rather just pay a shop for this one. More a lack of free time issue at the moment.

    Can understand the lack of free time. For general repairs, VROOM Auto in Little Canada has been my go-to for repairs.

    Admit I haven't done A/C work with them (knock on wood) but for my wife's Corolla its the only place I've been to that has treated her car right.
