acura maintenance

who actually takes their car to acura to get the type 1/2/3/4 servicing? mine is due for a type 2 and acura is quoting me like $130CDN for it. tell me that's a ripoff.

From much experience with Acura. That's worth it man. Pay the money! Be sure that it's a well known dealership. Bigger dealerships usually take better care of their customers. And tend to fill you in on all the CL quirks. How many miles on your car?

uncald4 remember its can$ not US$... I dont know what exchange is, but 130 from any kind of dealer in US money can sound decent...

Some may disagree with me, but if you want the work done right, especially for annual type maintenance, like 30k, 60k, etc services, Acura is the way to go, simply because they know their cars. Honda dealerships are a cheaper alternative, but if I need real work done, I'd rather shell out the little bit extra and go to the actual Acura dealer.

Did you know all the lowermainland dealerships have different prices on their type 1,2,3,4 services. I called all the dealerships one time and their oil change prices were different depending on who you call.

Chances are, it would be cheaper, acura likes to charge a "luxury/premium" price for services. I've heard going to honda is fine. But like I said, I trust my car more with the smackura dealership. Just personal preference I think, but I've always heard that honda dealers are cheaper for service.
