Last week I went to the Acura dealership to get some regular maintenance work done. All I got was tire rotation, oil change, and all my fluid levels checked. It cost me about $70. I left my car there came back and the clerk gave me an invoice for $1100. They told me everything was wrong with my car ( timing belt, water pump, cooling fan, brakes, calipers). They charge $90 an hour for labor. I'm not sure if I should get this work done or are they just trying to rape me like im a hotel employee in Colorado.

I got a 96' acura tl with 96,500 miles.

This was at the Acura dealership in Valley Steam, NY.

i have a 96 2.5 tl. 120K now. They are definately going to try and rape you. but if your car really needs the work, then first see how much you can actually do yourself....., then if you need help go to dealer???

what they just did was they charged you for a major tune up. they're trying to rob you dog..

Tune ups are needed but if you didnt want them to do a tune up, but they did one for you anyway then drop your pants, bend over to the front, and touch your toes.

hey creolehustla....... i live in floral park queens... near valley stream acura.....i've been there many times.... i once went there to get an oil change last summer... they told me.... i needed a 1500 job... on the tranny... i neeeded new timig belt... new this new that.. i was like. wait..... the next day. i brung my own machanic...and he checked everything out right in front of them.. n then they said... ohhh i think we had a mistake. it was another TL exactly like that... what a coincidence... if ur going to get an oil change... just goto any carwash place... and ask them specifically to use HONDA/ACURA motor oil.. thats the best... its only 31 bux.. pluz a free car wash...... by the way. where in queens u located??? holla back......

dont worry about it one time i brought my car into the acura dealer for a tune up and they did an un authorized repair on my water pump. Bam just like that brand new free water pump, so i got them back for all you guys.

I've never been taken to the cleaners like you have (i.e. they've never done anything I didn't ask for). However, I have been treated very poorly and been patronized by service reps at the Acura dealership near me.

As for your rap3 reference, I think it was totally inappropriate. I'm not trying to be a prude or whatever just responsible and courteous to everyone who's ever been victimized.
