Wow, I hope you found a shop. This is a bad weekend to have A/C problems.
I am up in the northern part of L.A. and on my way out of town but you need a shop for A/C work. I do not do my own A/C repair because I don't have the equipment. I could swap a compressor but you need the correct A/C oil, (and the knowledge of how much to put in), plus an AC machine that evacuates the system and refills it, etc.
The other thing is that any competent AC shop can diagnose the issue very quickly. Throwing expensive parts at it and emptying the system in the process could lead to nothing but a lighter wallet and a hot car. The bummer is that it's the weekend, I'd be on the phone trying to get it into a Pep Boys or anywhere that's open today.
I'd also be on the phone to Enterprise getting a rental car, (most are open Sat. till noon), this heat is no joke. Enterprise has unlimited free miles and taking car to AZ and back is ok, so if you need to be back home on Mon. for work and can't get Toyota fixed until then, you're covered. Bad timing for sure, (breakdowns usually are), I hope you can get it in somewhere today. Good luck.
