I wish it was not true - I live 45 minutes from the repair center.

Are you serious? Can't believe it. I'm 25 minutes away. That sucks. Are they closing the whole facility?

I believe they are, but the notice did not specifically indicate that. Moving to VA. Probably because it will save money. I received an email from Canon.

I'm a CPS member. I think the CPS service facility in Lyndhurst will remain available, but even if it is, it is at least a 45 minute drive for me assuming NO traffic vs a 25 minute drive to Jamesburg which rarely has significant traffic.

I believe that is correct. I saw that online right after your response. Lyndhurst is still pretty convenient.

It all relative I guess. I'm just spoiled by the convenience of the Jamesburg location. I was usually able to make the round trip, including drop off time at the desk, in around an hour almost any early afternoon during the week.

I'm around 15-20 minutes south of you on 287 and minutes away from Route 1 in Edison. I just took Route 1 to Route 130. It was faster than taking the Turnpike and a very easy trip.

I do know where you are. We are down that area frequently. Have friends in Old Bridge.
