Hi group!
I have another question, since I'm here.
Our 01 Highlander's A/C system has been threatening to fail.
I live in AZ and last year the unit was squealing.
We work it pretty hard here in Phoenix and most of the year.
Thinking it was a belt, I took it into the dealer.
The dealer wanted about $1200 to put in a new a/c unit.
Does this sound reasonable?
This was last year when he gave us the estimate.
I didnt want to do it at the time and it is still running, and the
squealing isn't that bad. ;)
He said we could use it until it failed completely.
Thoughts?! Suggestions?
Love the group!
I subscribe to the emails!
Rob
