Oh they put in the new one and added freon. They also did a vacuum test or something. They checked to make sure it was holding pressure and wasn't leaking freon. A/C was ice cold after that.
This is in the Newport News/Denbigh area.

Recharging a r134a system will cost you under 20 bucks for a can of coolant with the hose and guage already attached. If that doesn't work you should expect to pay more for a trained tech to use his expensive tools to diagnose and fix your system.

no no no, dont do this, dont just get a can of refrigerant (r134a or r12) which ever it may be. If your system has been opened you have to put a vacuum on it, it pulls the moisture that has entered the system, and plus it helps to find any leaks, and that can stuff is shit, i have worked on many a/c systems that someone has put it in ,because they thought they were low on refrigerant and they over added. Your best bet is to take it to a trained tech.
