Many of the national chain operations no longer carry R-12 refrigerant. Same holds true for many independent garages and dealerships.

I do not know what refrigerant you have in your system, so you will definitely want to first call around and ask if they are qualified to do refrigerant analysis(what type is in the system) and if they can service an R-12 system.

I know some of you may think that determining what type of refrigerant a car holds would be a commonplace task, but it would scare you if you knew how many shops haven't a clue.

Good advise above. Find an independent shop that's familiar with MBs.

I wouldn't let Firestone change a tire, let alone work on an MB.
