  "Any advise?"
Yes,
Take the thermometer & check the air temp on a couple of other cars. The 
temp will depend upon the blower speed. I would expect something in the 
40's to low 50's if not lower, with the blower on low speed. Dealers 
have access to the specs & detailed troubleshooting procedures if they 
are inclined to really fix it. Trying to put freon in it without taking 
pressure & temp measurements to diagnose the problem is a half hearted 
attempt to get rid of the customer. Maybe look for another dealer who 
cares, if your temp measurements on other cars show that something is 
wrong with yours.
