Default Mechanic in the New Brunswick Area?

Hi folks,

Anyone have mechanic recommendations in the Central NJ / New Brunswick area? Willing to drive ~30 minutes if the guy is reputable. A/C has started acting up (driver's side blows @ the set temp and passenger side blows warm) and I'd prefer not to take it to the dealer.

Thanks!

Allen

Recharge I can do myself but it seems to be more of a servo thing since it in't extreme hot/cold out of any particular vent. No real reason for avoiding the dealer aide from negative experiences on the opposie coast.

ah I forgot you are the one that moved here from cali...well avoid tri county lexus as they will probably just mess up your car...they are more north from you but if something happens and ur around that area avoid them like the plague!!! all the other dealerships seems reasonable besides the price...hopefully someone can chime in to give you some places...

bridgewater is ok just their price is steep to me anyways...edison I never dealt with before but they are both own by penske so they are under the same ownership...if you need an alignment go to edison as their alignment machine is lower car friendly and they can adjust your subframe..

Hey I heard my name! What's up lol Hey Allen, I read your messages. Now you car comes with a dual air temperature, so make sure both temperatures are equally set. I'm going to assume that you already have done that, so next should be playing with the DUAL switch, try pressing it a bunch of time and if that don't do it then it might be the switch that has gone bad! Also check the fuses just in case! Besides that I'll check at work tomorrow and try to guide you with more options!

The dual button isn't lit up so each side should be blowing the same temp. Dual button isn't a physical button so I don't think it's the switch. I'll check the fuses later today though Worst case scenario, what SA would you recommend at your dealer?
