I just bought a 2010 RDX, wondering where to do the tire rotation. Tire discount do free rotation if buy tires there but not for a new car.

Mr Marco

Dealer will charge you to rotate the tire. You can do it yourself at home, or take it somewhere less expensive. (B1 service light on your dash will tell you when it is time to rotate)

discount will charge you like $10 if you didnt get the tires there. The dealer will charge a bit more than that!
If you have a jack and some stands, you can DIY

Man up and do it yourself....there are some discount places that will do it for free. When I was in New England Town Fair Tire did it...they would also fix flats for free and to the snow tire changeover for free.
I used all those services and can confirm that they were truly free, the only thing that was ever charged was the balancing after fixing a flat.

How do you know OP is a guy, or macanically inclined for that matter. I took my mothers washing machine apart at age 4, so for me it's a no brainer. For someone else it might not be that easy or straight forward. Not that I'm my PC or something, but I believe the world is not so black and white. Everyone is unique!

How do you know that the OP is NOT a guy?...If you bothered to read the entire post you would have noticed that I mentioned about places that do it for free.

Mr Marco

Thank you sir...may I have another.^

Do you guys trust these places to properly torque your lug nuts. I wouldn't want to start having warped rotor problems.

I buy the tire hazard coverage on my new cars with discount tires and since I am frequent repeat cusotmer they generally throw in life time rotate and balance for free. So on the gf's 2010 RDX for under $100 I have road hazard and free rotate and balance at discount tires, I love those guys!

Mr Marco

I never buy the hazard coverage because I've heard it's a bad bet. However, if I would have bought one for at least 2 sets out of 10 I would have needed it. That's 20%.
Just wondering if you have ever used yours?

Buy tire hazard coverage for all four tires cost too much. Just wondering how much to buy lifetime "rotation an balance"? Maybe we can buy hazard for two tires? Also for service "A1", 1 means rotation I think.

Truelies that is correct. 1 is rotation. Page 339 of the manual gives the breakdown of Maintenance Minder (at least for 08 RDX).

It's not easy to do rotation myself. Need to jack up front and rear.

I will try the first rotation at a dealer first, see how much they will charge me, then consider discount tires.

My dealer offer me life time free oil change, but I need to pay other things than that.
