BOUGHT A BLAZER FROM LEE XARS IN FORT MYERS. WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE SO I TOOK IT TO A AUTO REPAIR CLOSE TO MY HOUSE BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ALL THE WAY BACK TO TOWN. WHEN I BOUGHT IT THEY OUT A RELAY SWITCH SO THE AC WOULD BLOW COLD. HERES WHATMY MECHANIC FOUND WHAT WAS WRONG.A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE A/C CLUTCH CONTROLRP RELAYWAS BYPASSED IMPROPERLY AND NOT FUSED WHICH COULD HAVE STARTED A FIRE. WHEN I WENT UP TO GET MY TITLE AND TAGS THE GUY WHO RUNS THE REPAIR SHOP WANTED TO KNOW WHAT I WANTED HIM TO DO ABOUT IT. THE OWNER WASNT THERE SO I LEFT A COPY OF MY INVOICE. HE WAS SUPPOSE TO CALL ME BUT HASN'T. THEY NEED TO BE CHECKED OUT. THERE DEAL IS IF SOMETHING BRAKES ON THE CAR THEY CAN GET CHEAP PARTS AND THEY CHARGE CHEAP LABOR. THIS ALSO HAPPENED TO OTHER PEOPLE AS I BEEN READING ON THERE REVIEWS.
