Lakes Region Auto, just beyond the Lakes Region Community College, on Rt 106 in Laconia was a Jeep dealer for years and years until last summer, so they know Jeeps. They have Jeep-Chrysler certified mechanics and have lowered their rates as a non-dealer.
Thanks, I bought the car from Lakes Region,and I saw that they had opened as an independant, but I wents buy there yesterday and the building is vacant. Too bad, I liked the folks there.

VIP is a good suggestion, Thanks!

PS... I said "exchanger" in my orginal post.. should have said "evaporator", they said they put a camera into the system and the "evaporator" was full of pine needles and was leaking so it needed to be replaced. All the labor (7+ hours @ $89.00 per/hr) is to remove and replace the dashboard.
