Dodge Repair: Ac and front rear seals, dodge durango slt, dodge ram 1500

Question
Help I'm getting so discouraged trying to find a mechanic that won't rip me off! Being a women with car problems can be a pain in the neck! could you give me the average cost of repairing the A.C. in my Dodge Ram 1500 (2001) freon is out of the question it's not taking it which means there is a leak. Also I have a dodge durango SLT(1998) I pulled into the garage and the front rear seal went and all the gear oil was running out the bottom.Am I going to be paying an arm and a leg or just one arm this time? P.S. The dealership says the balljoints are shot also should I be selling one of my kidneys soon? I should have married a mechanic!
