I just retrieved my car tonight, and all is well. The A/C works as good as new. We did, however, have to replace the dryer as a final piece. Total bill: $2700.00CDN. The shop (a well-known chain) insisted on giving me a rental for the weekend. They gave me an unlimited-mileage Lincoln Navigator. Interesting but thirsty vehicle. There is a warranty on parts and labour for my A/C and they are going to try to help me figure out all my head unit's codes and parameters for nothing later this week. I'm happy with their work and service.
