AC Problem

I had to install a new condenser in my 2010 Escape because of a accident. I had it to a garage today to have it filled with 134a Freon, but they were unable refill the system. It goes thru the vacuum part of the fill up no problem but when the machine tries to fill the system, it fails like it is something blocking the Freon from going into my system. Any ideas on what it might be. It was a brand new condenser and I did remove both plugs from the fittings before installation. I’m hoping it’s a machine problem and not my system. The machine that the garage was using is a pretty new high tech piece of equipment.

Does sound like a blockage - what did the garage say? Are you sure nothing else was damaged, no crimped pipes in the accident damage?
