Can I trust my garage to use the right air con gas in my car?

How can I trust a garage charging me for an air con regas to not put the cheaper gas then charging me for the dearer gas?

The air con gas required depends on the vehicle you own and when it was manufactured, so if your vehicle requires the new type of gas it is required by law to use it, and to use the older type gas would be illegal.
