If I take my car in for service at a different dealership than the one I purchased my car at will they give me a loaner?

 

Depends on the service. I would think you would have to call ahead and arrange for a loaner, and i think that there would have to be some pretty serious time allotted to the repair for them to just toss you a car... Personally, i think heading back to your original dealer would probably give you the best bet- they are more likely to comply with your specific needs.

Hope your TSX is okay.

Thanks for the quick reply, I think my TSX is just fine, just checking it out for the future (knock on wood)

 

Some dealers are better than others. The Lexus dealer we bought our car from (in the Chicago surburbs) - Bredemann (sp?) Lexus, ALWAYS gave loaners, even if you were just coming in for an oil-change.

 

So does my Acura dealer, and I didn't even buy my car from there. That's why I bought my TSX from them this time.

 

Does anybody know any Acura dealers in the Bay Area that give out loaners ? For that matter, any recommendations on which dealers to go to for Servicing?

 

...audi never gave me a loaner, but they did offer me 8 hour old decaf...go figure........by the way, what type of loaner do you think you get when bringing in the TSX?

Audi

 

Probably a RSX or TSX is my guess for an Acura loaner.

The Lexus I went to in the past would give out ES300's and then added RX300's as well when they came out.

 

I would imagine a lot of Acura dealers might begin using 2003 TLs

 

I pick up my loaner tomorrow and drop off my TSX

 

When I lived in Virginia, I got an RL once, that was sweet. Before, when I owned Honda's i'd be lucky to get anything.

 

My Acura dealership was good. If I give them advanced notice that I'll need a loaner, they'll get me one.

I've only needed one once when I took my EL for an oil change...that day I couldn't afford any time without a car, so they arranged a loaner. Unfortunately, their loaners didn't come back in time, so they rented me an armPiT Cruiser for the day. I was kinda hoping for a TL or something (since you know it's gotta be an Acura vehicle). After a day with the Cruiser with the busted AC on a 35 degrees C day, I obtained a whole new perspective for the concept "THE SUCK". What a piece of junk.

But, it was still nice that they rented me *a* car.

 

35 Degrees C huh???

What is that about 17 meters hot?? Eleventy ten degrees F??

 

Ah, another prime example of American ethnocentrism at its finest. You guys do realize you are the ONLY COUNTRY in the WORLD to use the illogical farenheight system....

35 celcius is equal to 95 farenheight.

J.

 

sure its not 37degrees Celcius to 98 degrees Farenheit?

but back on topic, my dealership gives me an Integra... if i had an RSX i wouldnt mind, but i got a Teg that was slow, wasnt fun to drive, all dirty inside, etc etc. was glad to get back my TL after the service

 

The Acura dealer who sold me my TSX (Stevens Creek Acura) uses the next-door Enterprise rental car agency to provide loaners. The Acura dealer only covers up to $29/day, which, today, got me a totally awesome, trade-in-the-TSX Suzuki Aerio! :yuk:

I certainly hope getting a loaner isn't a regular occurrence!

 

yeah, in the bay area, in Acura of Concord always have loner cars, personally, since im getting a Auto TSX, I hope for a loner they got a Manual TSX so if i need a loaner, thye give me that one to toy with =D

 

I got a 2003 CL with 2900 miles on it as my loaner

 

I got RSX from my dealer :-) been dawging the shit out of it.. sweet carr... :-)

 

Thrash all loaners.

 

I usually get a TL as a loaner (I have a CL). Before the RSX came out, I'd sometimes get an Integra.

I always make them give me a loaner, even for Oil Changes !! lol I find a rattle or something for them to warrant keeping the car overnight !

 

I was expectng a TL or RSX but i was given a brand new TSX!!! SCHWEET!!! I just wish they has manuals as loaners...

 

Just wondering, for those who wished for a loaner car with manual tranny, do you think everyone on earth (of course, this only means those who have valid driver licenses) would know how to drive a manual? :shakehd:

 

No and most people dont drive mannuals anymore, hence why there are no manual loaners and i have to find any manuals for rental anymore either.

 

Trash all loaners.

 

dez... what dealership do u go to that they give u TLs? i dont like the damn integra i get

 

Eternal ... Turnersville Acura in ... Turnersville, NJ .. they WERE Classic Acura when I got my CL back in 2000 ..

But I mainly get TL's for loaners when I go there ! Hoping for a TSX next week when I go in for a few issues !

 

I've always been offered an Acura at Stevens Creek Acura, but if they're out they will take you next door to Enterprise. They have a good selection at Stevens Creek, but last time they realized that I don't turn 25 for 2 mo. and said they couldn't loan me an Acura (insane - I have insurance, what does it matter? I can buy a TSX, but can't drive an RSX?)
