Default Need a second opinion IRT A/C work.......!

Just got a crazy-expensive estimate from a fairly-well regarded shop in Lorton/Springfield that sez I need:

a new compressor; expansion va; temp switch; relay (and bracket); A/C condensor; A/C condensor BL (what the **ll is a BL?); relay, and freon (1 1lb).
Sez there is a active leak at expansion valve; slight leak at A/C compressor; and leak at rear A/C condensor (front condensor blower is seized).
All this fun and I get to pay 'em $2629.75 ON TOP of the 300+ that I already paid to convert the whole dealie to R132......H'mmm.

Time to turn up the Twin 55's! Thoughts??
