Any competent A/C technician should be able to help.

FWIW: you probably need MORE than just a recharge.  A/C systems are sealed
systems and should not need periodic recharges.  Your system probably had
one or more leaks.

Cheers,

Subject: AC Recharge

We just got an 87 Westy with AC and it needs a recharge because I can hear
the compressor come on, but the air isn't much cooler. Question: Is getting
the AC recharged a job for a VW only mechanic or can I can take to a place
I trust that works on my other cars?
