I’ve started a lot of threads like this (“where to go for…”), but my girlfriend crashed her '05 Hyundai Elantra and I replaced the condenser with one from the junkyard. The system sat open for a couple of months in the garage while I was putting the car back together.
I don’t know much about it, but I’m assuming that before simply being recharged it will need a new receiver dryer and to be evacuated to remove moisture.
Any recommendations on where to go for all this in WNY? Maybe a good shop that specializes in it?
