AC blowing warm air again, anyone dealt with this on a Tiguan

So my Tiguan's AC has been acting weird for the past week, cold in the morning then just turns lukewarm by the time I'm stuck in traffic near Al Nahda, and honestly I was ready to just take it to whatever garage was closest but a colleague warned me that VW AC systems are kind of particular about refrigerant type and sensor calibration so a random shop might just top it up without actually fixing whatever's causing the leak in the first place, which apparently happens a lot with these cars once they hit the four or five year mark, so I ended up asking around and someone mentioned looking into Genuine Volkswagen AC repair in Sharjah since it matters that they actually use OEM parts and not some universal compressor that half works for a month then dies again, still haven't booked anything yet but wanted to see if anyone here has been through this specific issue and whether it turned out to be the compressor or just a simple recharge because I'd rather know what I'm walking into before I show up.
