A/C Servicing Q.....

I've noticed that my A/C isn't as cold as last year so I was going to have it serviced for good measure but I have a question about it.

Is it better to go to the dealership and have it done them than by some other shop?? I figure so because the dealership will know exactly what they are doing on my car and will give me some kind of guarantee where as a regular shop might B.S. me about what needs to be done and not do it right and then I'm screwed.

I'd appreciate some info on this as I don't know much of anything in reguards to my A/C system.

I guess you don't have a shop that you trust, eh? The dealer's probably the best idea... if you had a good track record with a local shop, I'd say to use them, but like you said the dealer might give better service.

Then again, there are some bad dealer garages out there... call and check prices. That might swing you one way or the other.
