Your "mechanic" is nuts!  You think if it's 110 degrees out, say in
Arizona somewhere, that your air conditioning will only blow 90 degree
air at you?  Come on!!!

There's a set air temperature that a functional, fully charged R-12
system will blow.  I believe it's around 40 degrees, but don't quote me
on that.

Also, rumor has it you can get your R-12 license by taking an open-book
test.  Cost $20.  Then you can buy cans of R-12 from a couple of dealers
on eBay for a LOT less than your "mechanic" charges you!

Later.

I just had the A/C recharged on my wife's van a week ago. The price of
R12 is $50.00 a lb. As someone else recently stated I don't believe you
can buy it anymore. It's not sold to the general public. The mech. also
said the A/C will only blow 20' colder then what the outside temp is
anyway so I would say yours is fine. If your compressor isn't cycling on
and off every few seconds then you probably have enough freon in your
system.
