You should follow it if you care about your car and won't be able to do the maintenance yourself.

P.S. From reading your sig, you drive a Indigo Blue Pearl...today was my first time seeing it on the raods. I saw 2 in a row too!!!

Errr... rotating tires for the stealer since it's on the lift and they have impact wrenches takes them literally 10 minutes. Then while the tires are off, they take a quick look at the brakes to make sure everything is wearing evenly. ...
So basically you paid about $100 for an oil change and a car wash? wow... kinda steep.

Did they use synthetic oil or something?

Wasn't bashing you, just seems kinda expensive.

Yeah, i knew it was steep price. I am kind of lazy to go other auto center for rotation. One stop shopping for me. Besides, i had my breakfast and one hour loaner car from the dealer for me to renew my licence nearby. It costs me $15 for a car wash alone.

Oh, just regular oil.

I don't know if I would call it steep if you're paying someone who's a pro at doing that stuff. Brakes are important and without them who are you going to complain to? Sorry but as a mechanic, I feel quite offened when people like you think we're always trying to rip you off or something.

Agree. I trust those guys and that is important. They hire Acura certified technians and those guys know the car in and out.

Free food, free drink, free loaner car, personal LCD, free car wash, free wireless or wired internet, free wallet parking and return the car to the same spot and finally excellent service. Did i mention they are Open Road Acura of Wayne. No, i do not work for them. What else can i ask for?
