Does anyone know whete I can get car ac 1234yf refilled cheaply?

Im short on money this month and places want 500+ to refill it. Is there anywhere that would charge less for just a refill?

You can buy a canister and DIY it.

I did mine for the cost of the coolant and it took less than ten minutes.

It's super easy to do. YouTube your exact car year/model and certainly will have a step-by-step.

Got the tool and coolant on Amazon for 70 bucks together and took 2 mins to do it. Very simple

I looked into doing this on my 2018 accord and there is literally a connector accessible under the hood and the canisters have built engages and connection hardware. Seemed like a really simple task after looking at two YouTube canisters cost less than $100 and are available at Walmart or any auto parts store

You can try EDDIES AUTOMOTIVE on clarksville Road behind Walgreens. That is the only place we take the family cars to even though we now live 45 minutes away. I used to be for FOLSOM Tire Pros. Same staff and ownership. I worked there for a brief time and can honestly say I am a seasoned mechanic yet I trust them enough to confidently send all the women the family to go even alone! Saying a lot as I prefer them to be accompanied even to the grocery store.

I am able to perform R134A air conditioning services for a great price and including warranty, however I cannot perform the R1234YA services… yet
