Just curious about this. The folder of manuals that comes with the TL includes a maintenance journal (I think of it as the "service book") that the dealer is supposed to stamp each time your car is serviced. Mine never gets stamped, even if I leave it on the passenger's seat.

I don't much care because I save all my service records anyway (and they provide a lot more detail than the service book does), but I'm just curious whether stamping the book is the exception or the rule.

 

I was just reading my manual the other week and noticed that it said for the tech's to fill that in each time...mine never has. Like you, I just keep the print out they give me.

 

Mine never does. I just keep the print out.

 

Ditto. I update my info on Owner Link as well.

 

Yeah, I was surprised it has to be manually entered. I figured it would be there automatically. I guess I was under the impression that all the dealers could access service records (via a centralized Honda/Acura network) so that some records could be up there automatically with little effort on Acura's part. I guess if there was a ton of personal info I would have a problem but something like the date, mileage and work done seems benign enough to me.

But not. Oh well not a really big deal at all. I too save the paper records. They never asked to stamp the book.

 

No

 

My TL only sees the dealer service department for any warranty work. Any routine maintenance is done by an independent who charges much less and does better work.

No, my independent doesn't put anything in the maintenance book; however, I do keep all receipts/invoices.

 

Yep, every time.

 

Yeah, every time I drop the car off the advisor asks if I would like the book stamped. Cush Acura (Kearny Mesa Acura) in San Diego
