This is VERY good advice. If your are having a mechanic do this, make sure he uses a new compressor and replaces the drier. Do not provide him with any parts. He will not guarantee the work and you will be on your own if any problems come up. Also, with the help of a shop to evacuate the old refrigerant and recharge after the new parts are installed, this is not a difficult remove and replace job for a DIYer.
