Where to have my AC lines (leaking) checked?

Hi, my AC crapped out in August and I added Freon which temporary fixed the problem for an hour and then it stopped working again. I've been told that I probably have a leak somewhere.

Anyone have experience with this and know where I can get it checked.

I talked to Automatrix but they don't do that stuff.

You could go to just about any repair shop; most of them have the machine to pump refrigerant in. To find leaks, they pump in UV dye and then see where it leaks out of. If it's leaking out in an hour, that's a massive leak. I fixed the AC in my car once myself. Went to auto parts store and bought the dye, it's sold in pressurized cans just like refrigerant. Found out that I had a huge leak in my condenser.

I've used Simone in the past and was always happy. Here's a list from an older thread. I used the search function, a good tool to try. GL

Just an update for future searchers, found a good place which checked for leaks for $60, MT Automotive, branch of Tirecraft.
