Owner's clinics...
My dealer conducts owner's clinics for those who recently purchased a new Acura. Here is a copy of the letter I received today.
Dear New Acura Owner,
Congratulations on your new Acura purchase! We sincerely appreciate your decision to purchase your new car from us. You are cordially invited to our "ACURA OWNER CLINIC" on Saturday XXXX XX, 2006. The session is scheduled to begin at 9:15 am and will run for approximately one hour to one hour and fifteen minutes, check-in time starts at 8:45am. When you arrive, please pull your Acura into the service drive.
For attending you will receive:
Bring any and all questions regarding your new Acura, and learn more about the maintenance needs of your car.
Sincerely,
The [dealership name] Team
I happened to see the start of one of these clinics the day after I bought my car. I went back to drop off the title to my trade, and they were just kicking off one of these clinics. They had a continental breakfast spread with Starbucks coffee. They basically took you on a tour of the dealership and introduced you to the service managers.
I've been a customer of this dealership for over 12 years so I know all of the service managers pretty well, so that's not a big deal to me, but I could think of worse ways to spend a Saturday morning.
I'm wondering if all Acura dealers do this or if this is specific to only my dealer.

When I bought my RL the dealer gave me a printed schedule of clinics, which were to be held (refreshments and all) approximately once a month at 6PM. After owning the car for about three weeks, I realized that I had a problem with the XM radio (Nav-traffic was missing as were Acura Link messages). Since I thought that the problem might be my programming of the radio, I decided to go to one of the clinics. When I arrived, printed schedule in hand, the sales staff, including the sales manager, looked at me blankly; they had never heard of any clinics. They then called the service manager who was equally puzzled. (I was really glad that I had their printed info with me!) Finally, in spite of the fact that the sevice area was officially closed for the day, they got both a technologically savvy salesman and a tech to check the car. It turned out that the car needed one of the TSB's and we set up a regular service appointment to handle it.
A good example of the dealership's inept but amiable service !
