Default AC Recharge or Servicing Recommendations

So I picked up my S2k and noticed the AC didn't work. I've been ignoring it for a bit and now that its been getting hotter, I've decided its time to get it up and running. Anybody have any recommendations for a place that can help me service or recharge it? I'm located in the East Bay area.

Thanks!

Just go top down, fixes the no ac issue without spending a penny.

I'm looking for an AC recharge as well. I'll need it some time down the road.

I currently don't have a top on my car so that isn't an option, plus sometimes having ac is nice... Anybody have any recommendations on a place to go or have any general instructions on how to troubleshoot ac?

Also interested in South Bay recommendations, to discharge my Accord and recharge it after I swap in a new condenser.

Really any decent repair shop that handles Japanese imports should be able to deal with this. If you need a recharge, then there is probably a leak. They can put in the fluorescent dye with a recharge and track it down a few weeks later with a UV light. Just replaced the condenser in my 2000 Tacoma that had a small leak. Blew cold and went 15 years w/o a recharge until then.
