Audio problem

While I was listening to the radio earlier today, I think the driver side speak blew out. It keeps putting out a loud static-like sound. You can still heard the music through the other speakers, but the static is so loud that you would have to turn the music all the way up. And about an hour after, the car has no sounds at all (like when you press buttons on the nav or adjust the AC). I took it to the service center, but they don't have any openings until May 9th...

Suggestions?

Where in California are you? If you're in Socal, take it to Tommy @ Musicbox El Monte. Tommy knows what he is doing, and can probably find out whats wrong and fix it for you cheaper than anywhere else. There's a thread in the SoCal CL section full of positive reviews too.

If your out of warranty, don't bother taking it to the dealer in any case, they will charge you crazy prices.

if the car is still under warrant take it to the dealership and let them handle it. no sweat, warranty will cover everything

which part of CA are you in? there's like 5 different dealerships near me. Find one that is close to you that is able to work on your car right away

Any dealership will work on it? I assumed it would be best to take it to the one where I bought my car.

No it doesnt matter if its under lexus warranty you can get the work done at any lexus dealer of your choice. The best thing would be to take it to one that consistently gets good reviews (i.e Longo lexus).
