Just did major service on.my 2006 TL

Only 79K original miles I still wanted to have the timing belt replaced, after all the car is going on 20 years old.

So I took it to my trusted mechanic, a Honrda/Acura master technician, the only person to ever work on the car, except me.

All fluids replaced, new plugs and filters plus timing belt and water pump. Total cost $2000.

Car runs great and will be with me forever.

Love my TL bought her new in 2006 for 33K.

Not too bad, but after 20 years of service it had to go for my piece of mind.
