I bet it is. The AC in my X5 went out this summer and I tracked it down to 98% sure it was the clutch/compressor. at 140K it's never been in the shop before - I have done everything myself. I called 2 Indy's in my hometown and both told me they were 6-8 MONTHS backed up. MONTHS! I finally had to break down and take it to the stealership. Very nice experience, but for the bill - it better have been.

I could not believe those places were that backed up. If I worked for a dealership and heard that - I'd have my own shop up and running in a heartbeat.
