Default Need a Central/Northern NJ Independant Service Center

I've got a 2012 RX-350 with 37K miles that suddenly needs a new radiator and shocks according to dealer. Looking to find a qualified alternative Lexus mechanic and service facility to do repairs. Any suggestions from members?

cvman1, welcome to CL. I'd suggest you try searching the Northeast regional forum for suggestions. It has a much wider audience.

Isn't it still under warranty?

It's my Wife's car and she took it to the Lexus dealer. After their assessment, we took the car to two seperate repair shops and they contradicted the need for the radiator or shock. The car has not been overheating or leaking observable coolent, plus there has not been any change in ride, noise, or observable fluid leak from the shock.

I assume not since they didn't list the repair work as warranty covered.
