I've got almost 25k on my car and it's showing the service reminder. A guy from the acura dealership told me that B12 is tire rotation, replacement of both the airfilters and a list of checks. I already did the tires and the air filters. Should I take the car in to have them do their 'checks' or is that something I can let go? Any idea what else they would be looking at?

Keep the receipts for the air filters. Take the car in and let them do the checks. It shouldn't cost more than $50 for all of the checks and it's cheap insurance just in case something goes wrong and you need warranty service. BTW B12 also includes oil and oil filter replacement, but you probably already knew that

 

So I called the dealer again and talked to a different guy. BTW it's actually A12 not B12. I told him I've already replaced both the air filters, changed the oil and rotated the tires. Just be be safe I asked him if I still needed to bring it in for them to look at it. He said that was everything and that there are no other checks and not to worry about it.

 

Well, your dealership gets a gold star for the day...


When I read your were going to call and ask about the inspections I figured the dealer would respond: You best bring it in. And that will be $199"....

Well done
