G55 A/C Problems
Got a very annoying problem with my air conditioning in this cruel Dubai heat. 
So here goes, 2 weeks ago my A/C stopped cooling and got the Freon gas filled up which fixed the problem temporarily untill now, where it's back to the state where it's just warm air that comes out of the ac. Is there someone that has had some experience with this problem that can suggest me somewhere that is better than gargash in terms of price and solving the problem quickly?
(Also i've attached a few pictures of the A/C lines because i couldn't personally see a leak but maybe you would will be able to see something i'm not seeing)

Assume that you have a leak which caused your initial problem cured by refill and then problem again.
Prior to re-filling a leak test should be performed using a dye.
This will allow the leak to be seen and repaired.

Just got the diagnostic report from the service centre and it seems to be an evaporator leak which in the report says they will have to replace the evaporator, drier tank and steering bolt for which they have quoted me 15k AED. Can anyone suggest me a different garage or a different solution (evaparotor leak sealant)?
Also thanks RBYCC for the reply

UPDATE: (Everything is fixed now)
So i decided to take it to gargash, and we all know they did the job but it hurt my wallet.
So it turns out there was an evaporator leak (internal leak) so they had to switch out the evaporator, sealing rings etc etc. Apparently there was no way i could avoid this problem as parts wear out and unfortunately drastic damages occur.
