What do you guys think should i get the service done at an Acura dealership for $700? What is performed? I asked the service rep and she told me she wasnt sure about what was done. Do they rotate and balance the tires?

im gonna go ahead and say, "no. it is not worth it." even though i do not know exactly what they do in it, im sure its not worth 700 dollars. just call up there and ask the service manager, he/she has to know, screw the rep

I'm gonna go ahead and say, "no, that's a complete ripoff."

Seriously, $700? and she doesn't even know what it is?

If I were you I'd call Acura & let them know this dealer

A - Charges that much money for that service
B - Doesn't even know what's included in that service when you asked

The service items can be found in the owners manual. There's a downloadable one posted in the FAQ.

It depends on how you look at it. I work at a Nissan Dealership and i would not say its a total "rip off". Doing a service in a dealership shows (Acura) that you care about the car. Therefore; when something goes wrong; engine, tranny, etc...and your Factory warranty is up; they will most likely "goodwill" it for you. And also; at least the Acura Tech knows what they are doing with you vehicle; then a mechanic in an outside shop.
I don't know what is done with Acura's services; but for ours; we have machines for engine flushes, tranny flushes, and coolant...which most outside shops do not have. We also rotate and balance four tires, with the newest equipment.....the price isn't in parts; but labor. I would say its worth it....

i was suprised she didnt know either. She knew the prices was $673 dollars but she said she couldnt find her list of what was included.

i'm due for a 60k service as well. I'm gonna check my $. I'd like to get it done but for $700, seems a little steep

$700 ?? I thought my dealer was on crack when they asked for 500 for the 30K (same as the 60K) !!

It's really just an oil change, tire rotation, pollen filter and air filter change (details are in the sticky in the FAQ forum).

My 30K service was $160

xclaudio24

I was at the dealership the other day they said for $535 they would

1. change oil
2. change tranny fluid
3. change break fluid
4. change pollen filter
5. air filter which i don't need CAI
6. rotate the tires
7. change power steering

Look around for a trusted mechanic other than the dealer that works on honda/acura cars, then if you can't find anyone then go to the stealership. It would probably save you half of what you would pay at the dealer.

Do not go to the "stealership"...save some $$ & do it yourself. However, if you're not mechanically inclined, like me, then find a reputable shop in your area. I'm sure you can find one that can beat the "stealership" price. btw, if you're within the bay area, pm me so I can give you my older bro's local repair shop # & location(shameless plug, lol). I'm definitely sure that we can save you some of your hard earned $$$...

no way!
just change the fluids/filters and thats it!

102k miles and my first tune up will be my timing belt/water pump. The only problems I have had were warrenty. I did my pollen filters as reccomended, but only cost me $17 and about 15 minutes (including time to find the screwdrivers and put them away). As long as the car isn't making any funny noises I say don't do it.

I had my 60k service done about 6 months ago and I called around to different Acura dealers and I was quoted as high as $565 and as low as $335 for the same services. If you really want to go to a Acura dealership call another one in your area.

If you fine tooth the dealers 30K, 60K specials, most all of the items on the list are "check" this or "check" that, NOT "fix" this and "fix" that, thats extra.

Same with the **150 Points Certification** of used cars. The board has a list posted. Most all of the crap is just "check" this. (Not saying CertUsed does not have it's advantages, just saying don't even assume mechanical or service stuff was done.)
