B16 service - how much in MD/VA area?

I got a quote of $232 + tax from Rosenthal Acura (Gaithersburg MD) for B16 service. Is this comparable to dealers in Northern VA?

Has anyone taken their car to a non Acura dealer and got the same service for less?

Thanks!

I looked into this and your price is not bad at all. In fact, I may go to Gaithersburg for service (nahh, I don't think I could stand the 495/270--I am too spoiled by my reverse commute out to Chantilly)

What I did notice was that the B service also includes the 1 service, rotate the tires, so really it should be a B6 service, at least if you look at the pamphlets Pohanka puts out! They'll find some excuse to get you back on that, like telling you it's a misprint, but it may be worth a negotiation point or two.

Where did you end up going?

By the way, did you ever get the ClearMask from Winners in Rockville?

Hi Chas,

You are right, I think Rosenthal is my best bet. Their service fees are competetive and sometimes lower than anyone in the area. Plus, they are the closest dealer from home. Hey, taking 495 and 270 on the "weekend" is not bad at all. Oh, btw, the service dept at Rosenthal is now open on Sundays. I will schedule my B16 in a week or 2.

I decided not to get the ClearMask at this time. I am seriously thinking of getting the Ron Jon wheels though I will PM you on this...

Thanks!

Who did you talk to? They quoted me something like $125 for 6 service, $30 for 1 service and $170 for the B service, total $325!

Was your price for an RL or a TL?

How do I get in on that discounted repair action?

Thanks
