do it at a private place, acura gets too much $$$$$

 

You should have shopped around for the best deal. You should have asked what the dealer is going to do (follow the Acura schedule Normal or Severe?) other?..

 

They're doing the normal. I change my own oil, etc. I just wanted to know if they'll tack on anything extra that i don't need - the projected price of the visit is around $400 i believe.

 

Mine was a little under $250.00 so I hope they're doing something extra for you..

 

That's just what i remember from the board at the dealership last time i was there, it could be way off.

 

Don't bend over !
