Some facts that AC Technician would want you to know about -

Car Ac Service : : 

1. AC Gas R134a when charged in Car AC System needs to be filled according to the capacity of the car. The AC Gas quantity per car varies and is mentioned in weight. 

99% Car AC Technician charges AC Gas by starting the Car Engine and Car AC system and placing the Ac Gas cylinder inverted.

By this method : There is NO WAY you or the AC Technician can check the quantity charged/filled in the Car AC System.

Low charging will provide lower cooling, while excess filling will damage the AC Compressor causing either compressor to seize or leak.
