To be honest, you can go pretty much anywhere for ac. Idk what part of pasadena you're in, but if you ever go to the clear lake area, i have a shop i would HIGHLY recommend for general repairs.

if its just a leak somewhere fix it yourself then take it and have a vacuum pulled on it and charge it up. leak should be oily and dirty.

you can rent the vacuum pump and gauges from auto zone for like 250 but get it all back when you return it. just have to buy the oil and freon (forgot the correct name its not freon anymore)

If you are not hearing compressor bearing noise try putting a can of freon in it. Get the stuff with the UV dye in it and then if/when it leaks out you can see it with a black light.

I have replaced an Ac compressor myself before with one off Ebay. Got the loaner tools from Autozone, it wasn't that hard.

harbor freight sells the vacuum pump and gauges for fairly cheap. i have repaired 2 ac systems in the last few months and that thing works like a champ. saves a lot of money in the long run too.
