AEM CAI Instaled by Park Ave!
Well, I got my CAI w/ bypass valve installed @ Park Ave yesterday. They were kind enough to give me a loaner for the day as well. Wayne & Peter were very helpful & professional. I probably could of done the install myself, but it feels good knowing it was done by a trained TECH. I wish my damn dealer (Montclair Acura)would get up to speed w/ their Comptech installs, etc. The CAI sounds great on the highway - other than that you hardly know its there. Pe@ce

Montclair Acura service Dept. sucks!! How much was the install? I'm going to try to make an appointment soon for install of my headers, springs, shocks, and sways. Maybe order a cai in the meantime. Can't wait for the meet!

Montclair isn't willing to do the installs like Park Ave is. I paid 49.95 for the install. Also, P.A. has their skiils up when it comes to mods. However, Montclair killed P.A. when it came to purchasing the vehicle. They couldn't compete w/ the price I ended up getting.

Just checking if you had a bad service experience from Montclair.
The only service I had them do so far was the free first oil change and general checkup. My second was done by Park Ave when I also got the Sways put in and 7500 check.
Haven't decided where to go for the next oil change, either the long hike up to Park Ave, or closer Bridgwater dealer. I used Bridgewater for my integra service, nothing bad but also nothing special.

Don't get me wrong, Monclair Sales is the greatest! But I went for an oil change, fix a few rattles, and 7500 mile basic service. When I get the car back, there is a HUGE scratch on the hood about 3 feet long. I bitched at the manager and they insist it wasn't them.
A scratch like that is hard to notice if it was there before hand and from the feel of it, it was a pretty fresh scratch..right down to the metal. So the guy tries to blow me off and I leave and get the sales manager who's my uncle. An hour later, finally he gets them to fix it with no charge and they dont even offer a loaner..I had to ask for it.
When I get the car back, the sunroof still rattles and so did the back speaker. They didn't rotate the tires and I asked if they were supposed to and they said no, not until 12k miles. Well you guessed it, they didn't rotate them then either. Unless they took the tire off the rim because my scratched rim is in the same spot.
At this point I just had to get the fuck out of New Jersey. I doubted that they even changed my oil. Never again...
