Default how much to refill ac ... r12

How much should it cost to refill a ac system? I was being lazy and had my mechanic do it when he replaced my starter.

I read that 93 and lower needed r12 coolant not available in stores. And a substitute wasn't good. Either that or I had to convert my system to take the newer type coolant.


Well I ended up getting charged $80 for the ac charge. needed 2 and a half pounds. Did I get ripped?

Roll down the windows dog, haha jk but for real the price was nice, get your chill on (your mech might have exaggerated on the weight, but I'm a critic, mechs in my town are basically salesmen with dirty hands, yours might be a down dude).
