Place to Service & Maintenance in So-Cal

Hi...

I have about 10k miles on my 2006 tl. I did my first service on the acura dealer (sierra acura, Alhambra)... Having the service done at dealership is bit pricey... since I'm not really good at servicing car... (not even change my own oil)... self-maintenance is out of question for me..... so I'm looking for any other alternative...

Does anyone know any good and reputable place in So-Cal to have my 2006 TL serviced and maintained..... any advise...

Thanks for the help ppl

Ussi,

Thanks man... I kept that in mind.... However, the place is about 60 miles from me.... I live in riverside... I don't mind driving about 30-40 miles for it... but this is bit too far...

any other suggestion..

Try Darren @ Gilbert Motor Service, 1919 W Valley Blvd; Alhambra; CA 91803-2346, phone = (626) 282-0644.
I had him patch a couple of tires and service two cars (including the TL) recently. He's next door to my office.
Otherwise, see https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=136957, in which I also recommend S&S in West LA and Honcura in Glendale.

Hmm.. interesting... sorry for the noob quesiton... but outside service place wouldn't know what A1 or B1 service is, right... so how should I tell them that needs to be done.. from manual?.. and will they know how to reset the service reminder when it's done...

any other place of recommendation, anyone?

S&S, Honcura and Gilbert are all Honda/Acura specialists; S&S and Honcura only work on Hondas and Acuras, but Darren will work on other imports.

This is easy....Planet Acura. The GM is a friend to S2000 and NSX owners and the shop has a great rep.

I got my 07 TL-S from Planet Acura, great staff. The guy who sold me my car has an s2000. I plan on taking my car there for service.
