A system that cools only when the car is moving has a condenser-airflow fault, not a gas fault. This single comparison redirects the whole diagnosis.
Condenser fin conditionBent fins, blockage, road debris and insect packing all reduce heat rejection. We look at the fin face before touching the refrigerant circuit.
Condenser fan operates on demandThe fan must come on when the A/C is called for. A fan that does not run turns every stop in traffic into a loss of cooling.
The radiator and condenser sandwichLeaves, plastic and dirt pack between the two and are invisible from above. Fan speed steps are checked where the vehicle has them.

Four steps, in this order, every time
Diagnosis-first is the whole method: measure, write it down, then price it. It is also why every job, gas filling included, is quoted in writing after the checkup.
We test before we quote
The free 30-point A/C and electrical checkup runs first, about 15 minutes, with a written report of what was measured.
You get the estimate in writing
The report says what was found. Gas filling, like everything else, is quoted in writing after the checkup, and nothing starts until you approve it.
No work starts until you approve
Nothing is opened up or replaced before you say yes to the estimate. If the diagnosis changes the scope, you hear about it first.
Repaired, then checked again
The approved work is done and the car is checked again before handover.

The AC only cools when I am driving, not in traffic.
That is a condenser-airflow symptom, not a gas symptom. We compare cooling at idle against cooling at road speed, then check the condenser fan, the fin face and the debris packed between the radiator and condenser.
Does a dirty condenser really matter?
Yes. Bent fins, insect packing and trapped leaves all cut heat rejection, and the effect is worst exactly when you need cooling most.
