Proper recharging requires evacuating the system completely, pulling a vacuum for an extended period, and replenishing the oil (as measured out during the evacuation) prior to filling up to within .1 lbs of spec. An hour's labor may be a bit generous, but not by much if at all. As far as parts, the big hitter is the receiver/drier, which should be replaced (though many opt not to). R134a fluid used in '97 cars is fairly cheap, even at retail. Sounds like the site's weakness is it doesn't give a menu of service options in cases like this, nor does it explain in detail what's involved.

I don't know because it wouldn't even work for me. Everytime I click on a service fom the pop-up window it goes back to the main page, but it doesn't show that any service has been selected. I might not have the right browser settings or something.
