R-1234YF Compatible Leak Dye

Topic starter

One of my coworkers drives a 2016 Honda Civic with an automatic transmission. He complained the other day that his air conditioning doesn't work. I offered to figure out why, then he figured out it has 1234-YF, not 134A, so my manifold gauges aren't compatible. 

He took his car to a chain store, Firestone to have it serviced. They said it's leaking and they can't find the leak because they don't make compatible dyes yet for 1234-YF. Is this the case, or typical chain store nonsense?

I found a company that makes them but I have no experience with them
