A/C had a slow slow leak. Once a year I used to have to shoot some coolant in it. This no longer solves my problem... heater works, but AC is shot

A/C not cooling. Took it to Sears auto and they said low pressure hose needs to be replaced. Total expense to replace low pressure hose is $350 and then around $125 to recharge the A/C? Does this sound right? My car has just 18000 miles on it but is 3+ yrs old..so no warranty :(

Repair cost 330 at sears. They had a hose made because nissan updated the hose and it no longer fit my car so I would have had to replace the other part that it goes to also. It would have cost 600-800 because the hose from nissan was 230 and the other one would have been 230 then the labor but like I said they ended up having a hose place make one that fit my car and saved me quite a bit no thanks to Nissan!
