Hendrick Acura + TSB: 08-031 (Timing belt Chirp) =

GOODWILL CONSIDERATION! Hendrick Acura rocks!!!! Turns out the chirp was in fact the TSB that i found (thanks to everyone on here, research and a process of elimination) they waived the diagnositic fee, put me in an '09 TL loaner and called me every time they had an update. This is a TRUE dealership!!

Damn I wish Hendrick had an Acura place here close to Cary!

We have Hendrick Dodge and all of that, but I am stuck with Leith Acura. Leith is okay...they are nice, but they don't know how to return a phone call!

How was the loaner?

They do a very good job in Service.

Making a sales deal - not so much. MHO.

Hey JimiThng - I'm in the exact same boat as you with my 06 TL with 58k on it. How far out of warranty is your TL?

Also, I'll give Hendrick a try! I've used Leith twice, and both times they have been HORRIBLE. Did you have to go to a an Acura regional manager? Or just work with the Hendrick people?

I believe performance is owned by Hendrick if I am not mistaken.
