As part of the regassing process they;
Empty system,
Add dye + lubricant under pressure.......lubes all seals & shows any leaks,
Then regas.
Maintenance is part of owning a car, £85 is not a lot of money to keep your motor tip top.
Too many spend money on mods etc with looking after the BASICS.
push one of the pipes so its wearing against the alt?
yes, but as posted above they leak test it.

car air con will always lose the refrigerant over time because of the vibrations throw the car, engine, etc.
if its left un-used throw winter the seals dry up and let buy, thats why they always tell you to run the air con in the winter at least once.
as forletting all the refrigerant out (gas) where the connectors go if you take the black caps off (they look like tyre valves) and depress the srader valve with a screwdriver this will let it go. also it would be better to do this on the smaller pipe as this is the high side of the system under more pressure you'll get a fluescent dye come out with it so don't be to alarmed.

i doubt it, it would be a waste. i would expect them to just put high pressure air in.

yer but they pressure test with nitrogen not the refrigerant
Shhh
whats in the system know its not a fully fledged air con system, is it full of R135a then i assume, as anything else would of been banned under the montreal protocol.
