And if your freon is low, it is absolutely a fact that there is a leak. 
Think about it.  And the leak *must* be fixed before it is recharged (by
any reputable shop where the owner wants to "stay free").  And that
might be expensive and can't be done for fun at home.  And that is why
(among other reaosns) my 90Q has no AC, just like my coupe...
