The air conditioning in your car requires the proper refrigerant amount in order to function correctly. Loss of refrigerant means there is a leak.
It can be tempting to grab one the self service cans that can be found in many places and that will often get the air conditioning to work for a while. However the issue is when an A/C system runs low the lubricating oil doesn't circulate and compressor damage happens. Repeatedly recharging the system with refrigerant means going from a leak fix to a compressor replacement which greatly increases the repair costs.
