Default AC repair shops in NOVA

I need my AC repair. I think it is a leak or something because every time I fill the r134a can, it gets cold, then the next day, it all gone.. I tried doing the stop leak can repair thingy.. that didn't fix it... So I need someone or a shop who knows what their doing in the AC repairs. Cause I'm not 100% sure if it a leak or other things.

Why don't you charge it yourself with R134a w/a dye leak detector and single out the leak; it's easy cause as soon as it leaks you'll see a green dye at the location of the leak? A/C repairs aren't cheap since they are labor intensive, at least this is the way i've done it w/all of my cars.

I tried doing that, doing the self leak detector/sealer. I don't see any leaks from the a/c lines... I'm thinking there might be a leak around the condenser. I dont want to mess with it more cause I dont want one problem leading to another since I'm not professional at this.

If you think that the leak is around the condensor then you should see the green dye seeping out; unless obviously your doing something wrong?
