Hey guys, so my girl and i took a ride to jersey from ct to get the timing belt service done on her 05 TL. All i gotta say is that they are a fantastic place to deal with. Very polite and freindly people. We got there at 11am and they gave us a '12 Accord as a loaner. Around 4pm , they called and said that the side motor mount was broken and a new one would cost $180. I allready knew that the motor mount was cracked. So i declined on that service. So they put the car back together and the total with the tensioner was $498.57. So all in all, it was a great day. I def reccomend anyone that needs this service to go visit them....

 

^^^you buy the part or is it part+labor = $498.57?

 

Thats with part and labor most likely since they are well known here for their cheap timing belt service. I too will be going there with my gf when I hit 100k I'm at 72k now with my 04. Dont know should I do it earlier since I have an 04 cause of the time but we'll see lol

 

yes, that is with parts and labor....

 

The only bad part about the ride there are the roads...New York highways suck...lol...Thats why i put on the stockies the night before so that i didnt take the chance of messing up my girls new wheels

 

That price includes new timing belt, new water pump, new hydraulic tensioner, new serpentine (accessory drive belt), new anti-freeze, labor, and tax. I had mine done there 2 Decembers ago. And since it was my 1st time there, they threw in an oil change with synthetic blend oil, and (of course) a new filter.

And don't forget the free inside and out hand car wash just for stopping in!

Can't beat it with a stick!

Where area in CT do you live? Just woundering if the tolls n gas was worth the drive?

 

I would say it worth a drive because Honda/Acura dealer here are quoted TB/WP service for $900-$1200 that like half of the price for the same deal. If my TL ever need a TB/WP done I would do the same thing.

 

I wonder if any dealers in the southwest have a great deal like this one.

 

Was the 2012 accord a I4 or a V6? How did you like it compared to the TL? Coupe or Sedan?

 

Hamilton Honda is #1 for this service, and many others.

Just DON'T let them replace an axle.

 

I live in Seymour. The 3/4 tank of gas and about $20 worth of tolls, its def worth it.Every penny....

 

It was a 4 cylinder sedan. It wasnt that bad actually. I do have to say it is much roomier than the tl but the TL def drives alot nicer...

 

Bad experience????

 

I'll post a pic tomorrow...

 

I test drove a 2012 Accord Sedan V6 after I agree to buy my TL at Honda dealer, I must say the TL-S is faster than that 3.5 in the accord. But that is TL-S vs Accord sedan not base TL vs Accord V6.
