What service are you getting at 22,500. There should only be 15k then 30k. Anything in between that should be checking your fluids and topping them off or manual check on ac filter. Unless you are getting alignment done or tire rotation done. IF i am missing something let me know. I just hit 22k on my speedo.

They riped your azz digitalgm... The 15k should run you some $100... the 22.5k is just an oil change, tires rotation, and fuild checks....!!! maybe $29.99 at the max

Get a detailed invoice and list of work done and bitch about it!!!

You could try reading the manual that came with the car. It tells you what needs/should be done for the different service intervals. You would then decide if it was worth it or not, or going to Acura or your local shop and having the work/checks done. As above, rotor resurface is under TSB 01-017 (I think that 's the number)..YMMV

Tire rotation at most should only cost between 15 and 20 bucks. If they are charging you way more for that, then you need to find an independent shop. Try calling Radley Acura they seem to be okay with prices and service.

Do yourself a favor and turn the car key II while in the ignition, hold down reset and trip I think for 10-20 secs and the light should go off.

at 22,500 the dealership wanted to perform the service but I told them No, to just do the Oil Change and the Rotation ($45) same service without the price tag (they are supposed to check the fluids and inspection normally)
One thing to look out for is when they do the rotation and rebalancing make sure they do all the wheels. My dealership only did the ones in the front. They gave an excuse why the other two were not done.
