Cost of gassing up aircon (merc)

The Guvnor

I was quoted €180 for gassing up the aircon on an old clk 230.

Now I have seen ads for lads who'll come out and do it at the house for €80.

The price was from an independent specialist and he gets someone else in to do it.

Just wondering if there is much to it and if I am better off going with my regular mechanic?

Not helping I know but in Kwik fit in the UK they do it for free!

Thanks Guys,

I've no clue on the cost or what to do but it involves draining and then gassing.

theres a place in the Greenouge industrial estate in Newcastle that do it cheap (€50 I think, will have a look for the voucher later), its a special offer they're running at the moment.
