You should be able to get do-it-yourself 134a recharge kits at local parts stores, and get some UV dye and a blacklight. We can in my neck of the woods anyway.

The UV dye/Black light combo works pretty well the times I've used it in the shop at work. Its useful for tracking down those real pesky small leaks that always seem impossible to find....

Ranger Sport's way is definitely cheaper, though.

EDIT: Almost forgot, welcome to TRS! haha
