I brought the car in for timing belt 60000 mile maintnence. got it back and air conditioner did not work. they said it was low on freon. I had them fill the freon and do a dye test no leaks found. two weeks later the same thing put in more freon. worked 3 days. could they have broken somthing during maintmence. where else can the freon go?

With the die test and using a sniffer they should be able to find the leak. Look for wet spots on all the lines, at the compresser, connection points etc.
