Will I have to buy several pounds of expensive refrigerant?
No, refrigerant is recovered and reused, and you only pay for the additional amount needed.

No. When we service a car air conditioner, we evacuate all refrigerant, and perform a vacuum leak test. We then reuse that refrigerant plus the amount needed for a full charge and add dye to the system so we can detect any leaks going forward. You pay only for the additional amount of refrigerant needed.
