a/c recharging connection

I'm just looking for a little help locating the correct valve to give the a/c a coolant recharge. I was at the dealership last week having an oil change (Duncan Saab in Roanoke VA). They quoted me labor of 179.99 PLUS the cost of the R134a to do this. I feel like that is quite a bit, so the service advisor knows that I do a bit of my own work and suggested that I do it myself. He pointed out the valve that's right in front of the radiator and behind the grill under a cover. He also said that it's a standard size and whatever I purchase from Walmart or anywhere else should fit. Well, nothing fits. I've also tryed to find an adaptor to fit, without any luck. Stopped by 2 different places today that do this type of work in general, and both said that they feel that's not the correct valve for a charge. Anyone have any idea where I might find the correct valve? I have everything needed, just need to know where to hook it up. Thanks in advance for any and all info.
