courtesy cars in Vancouver?

Does anybody in Vancouver know which dealer offers free courtesy cars? Richmond Acura no longer provides free courtesy cars.

Hi Eskimo,

Long time no talk.

Usually they only give you a courtesy car for big maintenace job.
Otherwise, you have to know the salesmen to get them to give you one if you know them well.

Times are tough and dealers now charge to give you a loaner.

Yup, same with Richmond Acura. I got no problems in getting a free courtesy car when I bring my TL in.

As long as you call ahead, my dealer will give me one for anything. You just need to ask.

Yes, Lougheed Acura provides courtesy cars. However, I doubt you will get one for a simple oil change. It has to be something that takes more time.

Can't you get Richmond Honda to do your service?

Thanks all. I ended up going to NorthShore Acura. It was only 10-15 minutes from downtown. It's a very nice new dealership. The entrance to their service bays is really well thought out. I got an Acura EL as a courtesy car. Service level is good. I would recommend them.
