I want to recharge the refrigant myself, I would like to know how to do it, where is the tube which connects to the refigrant bottle locted? Do I need to vacuum the system first? Actually I want to a shop to recharge the A/c but they found out that the belt was broken but by that time they had drained the refrigant. I got my belt fixed from another place. went back to Jiffy lube and they are saying that there was not much refrigerant in the car. But I don't beleive that so I want to do it myself.
I'm pretty sure the took all the refrigerant out but not sure if the vacuumed it or not. Should I just go to a store and get ready to use refigerant can. How many do I need. Will it be as easy as filling it up. Please help

    You can try adding a can from the parts store, but beyond this you need special tools and training to be able to properly diagnose, evacuate and recharge A/C systems properly and safely. Adding too much can damage the compressor, so be careful.
