Refrigerant leaking from ac compressor o-ring and high pressure release valve

Pretty much title. Any idea where to get a high pressure release valve from? Shop quoted 175 replace both, and 350 to recharge it. I can recharge it on my own so I am probably out 175 if I can't find one. If any of you have any ideas or suggestions for where to go from here, I'd appreciate it.

Actually a decent rate being quoted. Plus you wont be on the hook for o-rings either nor ensuring oil and just 134 going in. A lot of kits add a stop leak that can gum up the works.

Pressure Release Valve

The pressure release valve is on the AC compressor. You may need a new compressor? Autozone, Oreilley’s and advance should have them
in stock. What state are you from?
