Santa Monica Acura is crazy!!!
So I called the other day to get an estimate on the timing belt service and they quoted me at $1000+ not including the water pump! I aksed if the guy was serious and he was like "umm... yeah!" I then hung up and was just dumbfounded. Anyone in So.Cali know of any places that charge less? By the way this is for a 97 3.0

$350? Are you kidding? Man you got a really good deal. Anyway I was expecting to pay like $600 tops but then I called the dealer and you know the story. I'm gonna have to start checking the mom and pop stores to see what kind of deal I can get.

Glendale Acura (formerly Pasedena Acura) = the shit, these dudes treat you right, ask for Manny. Call a week in advance to get a new loaner.

take it to honda they can do it for cheaper than acura dn do a custom package, you dont need all the work they do at that time, just change the fluids, all the belts, timing belt, and water pump
