Took car to Dealer for service 30k..

I am still waiting to get it fixed they replaced the wiper system fixed the rear deck changed the tranny fuild. also told them about the brakes said they only last 30k and would cost me 247.50 to fix them and they would shave the routers.. I want better brakes. and pads.. help... oh and they let me take a Integra...that smells like smoke.. dealer is usually a lot nicer...

I don't know what you other guys are being told but I was told by several dealers and by Acura that rotors are classified as a wear item and only warrantied up to 12K. After that, its dealer discretion but if you find a reputable dealer they should do it for you under warranty.

This is definitely one of those cases where it pays to do your homework.

Next time call ahead and talk to the sales manager (wherever it is you're going for service). If you don't like what you hear, keep going till you find one that works.

As I mentioned to another person on here, try to get the dealer to flush the tranny under warranty. I didn't even think of that and the service manager said she'd do that for me--so if one place can do it so can others.

We need to keep these people honest!!!
