a/c problem on 99' GS300
I have a 99' GS300 and last summer my car started to make a loud knocking noise when driving slow or at a stop when I had the A/C on only. Took it to a local garage that I had used to change the timing belt and they said I need to replace the condenser and compressor at the tune of $2100, wanted a second opinion so took to Lexus dealership and was told I need to have the a/c compressor, dryer and magnetic clutch assembly replaced all for $2027. The a/c does get cool, wouldn't say as good as before and sometimes when it is really hot and humid it blows warm air. Any suggestions on which way I should go or any other thoughts on this problem?

Check ebay for the parts and have it fixed at a local shop that you trust, where you will only pay labor. Or check your local parts stores. Most will I believe give you a core charge for your old stuff. A/C is not that hard to do. I’d much rather tackle that as opposed to a timing belt.
