the A/C not working right

Hello fellow C300 owners-My 2012 A/C does not seem to be working right. I just had the freon charged up and there are no leaks. The air on the driver side is sort of cold, the passenger side iswarm-ish. At "max a/c" the temp of the air is not cold. Can someone tell me what might be the problem. Thanks!!

How exactly did you charge up that “Freon”?

Did the problem exist before you had the system charged?
It could be a blend door problem.
Why not take it back to the mechanic who did the charge?

the problem started about 3 months ago. my mechanic is not well versed on diagnosing Mercedes air conditioning problems. my research on this issue comes up with "blend door problem" also. I may have to take it to an indy Merc shop.

An independent shop specializing in MB sounds like a good idea.

mare you sure it’s not leaking? My c250 is a 12 and I had a leaking hose. My mechanic told me they made a revised part even. Also make sure mechanic used one of the machines to charge it and not some Freon charge can from the auto store.
