price for 45k service

Does $198 for a 45k service sound about right to you guys or is that kind of high?

i go to Acura of Serramonte in Colma, CA. their prices and services are decent, but some of their service reps are horrible. they don't take the time to really understand what your needs are. i'm sure that is what all of us acura owners want: someone that understands us.

Up here in the Boston Ma, Providence, RI area the 45K is about $150, and even at that price I think it's a little high. I'm doing my own maintenance now, but I might take my CL in for the 45K since the warranty runs out at 50K.

It's just an oil change, tire rotation, and some inspections.

For part B of that link there are a lot of things to "visually inspect...suspenion components, driveshaft boots for cracks, among many other things" do they fix accordingly if anything is wrong or broken...or do they tell you if anything is wrong and then you have to pay extra to have them fix it?

My dealer was very good about fixing stuff under warranty.

They only found minor stuff while doing their inspections. Pinched vacuume hose was replaced and stuff like that...

I did have them replace both lower control arms (at differnet times), but that wasn't because of their inspections, but because I was getting knocking noises from the front suspension. I swear my car was built on a Friday afternoon or Monday morning
