105K Service

I just passed 91K miles and car is due for B2 Service.
I'm wondering if I should go ahead with the full 105K Service (plugs, belt, etc.) because gas mileage has dropped and have vibration at idle.
I think a couple people have had this service already.
I'm not anxious to pay for it earlier than required, but wondering what your experience was after the service, i.e. noticeable performance improvement?

Also, what all do they do in this service?

i had it done..

It was $1,2000 out the door, belts,fluid spark plugs etc..with a 09 tl loaner free for 2 days... I did feel a different in smoother pik-up and shutter was gone. gas mpg went down since service. i was get 27-28 on the highwy at 65mi but fell to 20-22 now. i wanted a 09 since i buy every 3yrs, but i do not like the face. so i will keep my 05 (paid off) RL until Acura wakes up or i go to another car company. Hope this helps. my dealer is Acura of Avon.

I hope there is one too many zeros and not a misplaced comma!

My car has 16k on it, I will NEVER make it to 100k
Is $1200 the norm? Or did you actually do a little shopping around? I ask because the price differences between the Acura dealer sin the Seattle are is huge, it pays to shop around.

Damn guys. Nothings free and your driving a sWeet ride. $1,200 to keep your car going after 100,000 mi, isnt bad.

The Lexus is300 has a mandatory belt change at 90,000 mi, for $1,200 ( I looked into buyin' one), so a major update insnt THAT crazy.

You arent driving a regular Honda! (they probably have crazy maint intervals as well). Imagine what a Benz or BMWs maint cost! LOVE your top of the line ACURA ! ! ! !
