560 for a tuneup????

i just called park ave acura and they said its $560 for a 30,000 mile service IS THAT CRAZY. curry charges 420, which is more reasonable.

i am gonna do my own service. this is just to much money for me.

Are your sure you ask them correct question?
I am saying did you say tune-up or 30,000 mile service?
Everybody keeps saying tune-up its not a tune -up its 30,000 mile service. I paid about $390 total for my 30,000 mile service & that was with an extra cost. I also got the 4 wheel alingment done at this time also that was $79.95 extra. The service would have cost about $310. They did just about everything that was needed
changed tranny fluid,oil change, A/C cabin filters relpaced, Air Filter replaced, BG products service kit MOA oil treat, & fuel treat & trans conditioner. balance & rotate tires. The rest of the service is checks.

I would at least compare when they do line by line. Maybe the $560 service includes more ?

Nick... did you buy your car at Curry? If so, that's probably why it's cheaper.. because they give you a prefferred price. I'm surprised that PAA was so much money though b/c they usually take care of board members. I hope that they'll match Curry, b/c I was going to start bringing my car to PAA for all services... but if they're that much higher... that won't be happening.....

i hope they were wrong or incorect about the price, i made up repeat the price twice. i was so dissapointed in the price, i didnt even bargain or show up for the service, i was just very discouraged to call them agian, considering curry charges $420, thats a $140 difference!. and yes they give a perfered price.
