The service department was fast and efficient in diagnosing problems with my vehicle, so far the repairs done are holding up and pricing seems to be fair. More

Southern CDJR - Newport News inspected the customer’s vehicle on multiple occasions to verify the concern. After our initial inspections, the vehicle was evaluated by our shop foreman, who used an inspection camera to look inside the HVAC case. During that inspection, it appeared there may be a foreign object, such as a small piece of paper or string, partially obstructing one of the blend or air distribution doors. We replaced the blend door actuator. Under warranty. We also explained to the customer that the rear HVAC vents will typically produce slightly warmer air than the front vents due to their location over the transmission tunnel. Unfortunately, we do not currently have another Charger of the same model available for comparison, and the redesigned Charger is not a valid comparison because its HVAC system is different. Including using different refrigerant. The customer expressed concern because the factory warranty is nearing expiration. We explained that, given the current high outdoor temperatures, it is normal for the cabin to take time to cool down after the vehicle has been sitting in the heat, similar to how a home air conditioning system requires time to lower the interior temperature. Per the manufacturer’s service information, an A/C vent discharge temperature of up to 25°F below ambient temperature is considered within specification. The customer arrived with his own infrared temperature gun; however, following the factory diagnostic procedure, we measured the vent discharge temperature using a probe thermometer placed directly in the air vent. The readings obtained were consistent with the specifications outlined in the service manual.

Overall service was good but I was there around 8:30 and it seemed a little unorganized. I got taken care of quickly but there was a line behind me about 5 or 6 people deep. The service on the vehicle was More
