It's easy not to overcharge. Get a gauge to use while filling it up. The chemicals all come in the same can to my knowedge. Still, if it's best for the car he can do the labor and pay the $100 or so to have the dealer charge the system. The point was he can do a lot of it himself.

Or...roll down the windows and it's free!
