Looking for a dealer?

We're launching a new iteration to our dealer directory later today, I wanted to see if you guys in 3G could play with it a bit before we announce it sitewide:

https://acurazine.com/dealers/

There's alot more features on their way, but this is a start. Do me a favor and check through your state/neighboring states and make sure our dealer info is accurate.

Thanks/Enjoy

For those that have PM'd me asking/etc, yes... we plan to add a rating system of some sort to this. However, there is some legalese we must work through first.

I just checked the VA dealers and all of the maps were correct, and all of the phone numbers & addresses were correct. The only ones I didn't know about were the Duncan and the Priority but I called them and it was them....

Great looking help tool there... Hope this helps you out...

For Oregon, I know Acura of Portland is correct as well as Ron Tonkin Acura. I'll look into the rest.

You'd think this info would be right on Acura's website.

In Austin, TX there is another Acura dealer not listed: David McDavid. The one already on the page is for Plano. http://acuraaustin.mcdavid.com/

In Beaumont, TX there is Classic Acura: http://www.classicacura.com/en_US/

One suggestion: Place the city next to the dealer name.

South Florida is correct but I'm not sure about the upstate dealers. The ones I know of are accurate.

Is the functionality to type in your zip code and it pulls up the closest, or a list of the closest with distance from you possible?

Cush Acura in San Diego is now called Kearny Mesa Acura I think.

http://kearnymesaacura.com/ that's the webaddress.

888.212.8599
new contact #?


Is it possible to put a link on the map that allows you to get driving directions? I'm not sure if it's a google limitation or not.

Ball acura website
http://www.ballacura.com/

Butts Acura website
http://www.butts-acura.com/en_US/
(800) 723-0061

I can't believe there's a Ball Acura and a Butts Acura.

No. Personally, I think if you're looking to find the closest dealer you should go to Acura's site or your local yellow pages.

The point of this is to show people that they can save ALOT of money by shopping regionally and, many times, nationally. In all likelihood, your local dealer will be ordering the car you want (color/trans/etc) from elsewhere anyway.

People continually over pay for convenience. Shopping locally, some members have paid upwards of $5,000 more then they needed to. If you're in an area where your dealer has a monopoly or stronghold on the market... YOU ARE GOING TO OVERPAY.

So, your option is to do what the dealer does... broaden your horizons... shop regionally and nationally. It's only a few hundred dollars to ship a car, and even cheaper to pick one up in the next closest state. Way cheaper then you might pay for the assumed convenience of your closest dealer.

In the Cleveland area, the addresses for Motorcars Acura and Park Acura are correct. Acura of Cleveland is missing, however. Its address is 13930 Brookpark Rd. Cleveland, OH 44135

Good job, soopa and Astroboy, this is a great idea!

I just took a look (with Firefox) and the only thing that I could get to display was New Jersey. Tried Kansas and Missouri, never seemed to update. Did have javascript enabled for your site.

FYI
