Routine Maintenance: Acura vs. Honda

Has anyone taken their 04-07 TL's into Honda for any routine service items, i.e. oil changes or various fluid changes. I've had the transmission and brake fluids changed by a Honda dealership in my 04 TL. I currently have 52 k miles on my car. The prices charged by Honda is usually less then that charged by Acura. If it all Honda parts and accessories, why pay more?

$81 for Honda and $ 80 for Acura. I compared the bottom line which was cheaper with Honda. For example, when the brake fluid was changed Honda charged $ 89 and Acura wanted either $ 119 or $ 129.

Not all the time Honda is cheaper than Acura. So make sure you do the shopping before taking it in.
