Of course if your car is low on Freon that likely means you have a leak. To fix that you would need to take apart all the hose connections and replace the o-rings, then use a vacuum pump to evacuate the system and then add Freon. Of course the cost for all the equipment to do all that is roughly the same as taking the car to a mechanic and saying fix my air conditioner.
That is why god created pressure-temperature charts (that can be found online and normally come with these kits)
That has not been the case for decades. The sealants no longer not 'gum up' internals like in the days of ol. They only react to the presence of moisture* and sometimes cause o-rings / gaskets to swell (making a tighter seal).)
Unless you had a complete blow out, oil is still in the system. Also many of these kits do supply some oil. Also they tend to contain *moisture neutralizers for inside the refrigerant loop (and preventing sealants from reacting where they shouldn't). There are many recharge kits: with oil, without oil, with sealants, without sealants, with UV dye, without dye, moisture neutralizers, no moisture neutralizers, or pure refrigerant if you don't like additives.
But you are right, in a perfect world you'd drop your car off at a mechanic then pickup your revitalized AC a day later. But that $1000 difference in price is where the problem is. $30 does have a few downsides over actually doing a true "repair" but if it fails, you'll be a square one either way.

A few more inches longer would be perfect, that's what she said.

So you have an extra dollar. You can give that dollar back to mommy and daddy but guess what, next summer… you'll be 6, but they will only give you $9 to run the stand.

I have one of these from maybe ten years ago when I recharged my car AC. It was purchased as a kit, can of r134a and the hose.
I recently used it again but for my house fridge. Who knew right? Saved me $1500-$2000 over a replacement. YouTube has a few good DIY videos.
