I took my car in today to get the Timing Belt stuff done which they gave me a rental (no extra cost mind you) but dang it... i want my baby back. This Hyundai Elantra aint cutting it. For such a small car it drives and feels like a truck.

Sorry, i just had to share this... Bored at work today.

C'mon 5oclock... counting the minutes when im able to pick her up.

 

they gave you a Hyundai? what a shitty dealer.

 

My thoughts exactly...lol....is it an acura dealership??? I always get a TSX when i get stuff done to my car...

 

Yeah i was shocked when i was given this, but the thing is that this Acura Dealership uses ENTERPRISE for their rentals, so its whatever they bring. Also i didnt buy my car from them or anything, my first time using them actually, so i guess im on the shit list for now.

 

lol acura sherway

 

LOL who was your service advisor there?
used to work there....

 

Acura probably just wants to prove how much better they are, so they give you a POS Hyundai

 

i always get the newest tl-s when i goto my dealership...but then again the service manager knows me it felt so wierd going from a manual to an automatic though haha i was moving my left foot in the air since im so used to it

 

Damn, i feel cheated now.
Then again as to what Andy has said its going to be extra special when i sit back into an Acura. I was actually kinda hoping that id get to drive the RDX, but oh well, its a free ride until my service is done... i cant really complain.

 

how much u end up paying to get them to do the service?

 

$800 for the timing belt service (water pump..etc). Thats all parts and labor included.

 

god dizzam..... that a lotta money for a kia rental.. hahaha

 

how KM were u at ?

 

176'000km

 

thats actually not bad from the dealer......did it all for my TLS for 750....what dealer is it again? erin mills?

 

Trust me, you're lucky you didn't get the RDX. Its a nice car and all, but it drinks up gas like crazy. I got one as a loaner while my seat heater was being replaced and I went through almost a full tank of gas over the course of 3 days. I have to admit its surprisingly quick though.

And to jl03CLS, wtf?! I didn't know they had TL-S's as loaners? Lucky-ass.

 

Sherway... overall i was extremely pleased with their service and manner. My only beef was with them giving me a enterprise car that was a Hyundai... BUT i do understand the business of it and it was free, so i cant really hold that against them. Got it back this morning, would have had it the same day but i couldnt get there before closing time, and im so happy im back in it. It just hugs/touches me in all the right places!!! lol

So grand total for Timing belt, water pump & front breaks (new front pads, rotors machined):
Parts:$340
Labour: $730 - Total w/ taxes = $1200

A little more than i thought it would be, but free rental, same day service along with over all check of the car it doesnt bother me too much.

Really? Wow... i didnt know it sucked up that much gas. Thanks for the heads up!
