A "soothing" air cond under hot flaming sun

[headshot]

Hi, I am a newbie to cars so hope can have some kindful advice from u pros :) recently my car's aircond is having problem, it works fine for the first 1hr if I just adjust the temperature bar to the first bar (1st = cold 5th = coldest) but after that the blower still very strong just the air is not cold anymore and the engine noise is very high like going to explode unless i turn the A/C off.

And if I adjust the temp. bar to 5th bar (the coldest) the problem will appear for just after 15min.

I did went to a workshop to check up, the mechanic told it might be the A/C valve is jammed / stucked and need around $200 to replaced it, but another mechanic told me just need to service the A/C for $80 will solve the prob.

So I am confiused, who should I listen to? When should we service our A/C?
