Recently, Passenger side AC has been not as cool compared to driver side, esp when temp is getting close to 100.

lot of threads suggest low on freon and car being 15 maybe time to recharge.
I also did the AC flap recalibration as google suggested, but didnt help. (didnt think it would since mine is a single temp zone)
Car is almost out of extended warranty and I read the details of my warranty, if it is a leak or low on freon caused by failing parts from the AC is covered.

should i take the car somewhere or the dealer? They want almost $200 for dianostic fee and if warranty covers it will be waived.
also my car being tuned, will it give the dealer a chance to deny it?

Thanks in advance.

I've used mobile ac guys for my Mazda. They were better than the dealership.
