service
Hello@
My TL is at 58000 miles & is asking for B service. Should I go for B service or 60000 mile service. Also my certified warranty is expiring at 62000 miles. I believe 60000 mile service is like $400-500/-. I got my transmission fluid & power steering fluid changed at 45000 miles
any feedback

At a minimum, I would suggest changing the cabin filter as well as the air filter. If you haven't changed your brake fluid, I would do that too. Of course, oil, filter and tire rotation.I think your good on the power steering and tranny fluid for another 15k miles.

read the owner book for details on each service
Much of it can be done at home with no effect on the warranty- just keep receipts
Sounds like you are keeping up with things having done ps and brake fluid and trans already
Change the cabin air filter- very easy $25 DIY,, the dealer gets a 150$$$ for !!!
Read the maitenance book then think what else needs to be done- lube the door hinges,,,read the thread list here for common failures and check all of them
things that might be going are AC tensioner pulley
60k miles its ready to clean the intake and gas - install new NGK Iridium spark plugs and run till 100 without concern
Find a private shop in the phone book that does acura/honda repairs normally
Let them suggest whats really needed
the book is a joke most of the time- based on pleasing the govt with low maitenance cars (simple-dont require any until ~needed~) as if the valves dont need adjusting at 100- it says - if needed
Use common sense
Make sure no rubber boots under the car are torn
drive it any enjoy--service depts need to make money on every car or the dealership folds
Sales dept only exist to get new cars into the service dept,,, where the real ongoing money is made

check the paperwork again- if you bought it CPO at an acura dealer- its got warranty to 100-
thats what makes it worth paying more at the dealer for a used TL= the long warranty comes with it
