There has to be a slow leak somewhere. The most common spots are stone damage to the condenser up front, the evaporator that is hard to reach for testing in the heater box, and then the compressor "O" ring seal. Some shops use a vapor detector or they can add a red dye. Try a regular A/C shop as experience is everything.
