Acura Mechanic in NOVA?

Just moved to Northern Virginia, anyone know a place to take my TL for regular service? I have A1 service due soon.

I used to take it to the dealership I bought it from, but that was back in Los Angeles. The local dealership here has some bad reviews, so I'm weary of going there.

I've NEVER had a bad experience with Pohanka. Radley is significantly closer to where I live, and I still spend 45min driving to Pohanka for the service. Doesn't matter which service person I talk to (ususally talk with Chris), every experience is just like the last - fantastic. I could not recommend them more.

JCharged, do you mind sending me his details too? I'm a newbie and can't send you a PM.

Thanks!

NVA-AV6 is the only person you want to deal with. This guy could take apart your engine and rebuild it better than Honda did in his sleep. This is who JCharged speaks of.

I've found Radley to be very reliable. They're the most convenient to my house (and their service department is open until 2 AM.....yes, AM, that is not a typo). Haven't used Pohanka in about ten years because I moved and they're now too far out of the way in the wrong direction, but when I lived out near Fairfax City I never had any problems with them when I took my 1986 Legend out there.

The three Acura dealers in Northern Virginia are Pohanka (US-50 just east of VA-28), Radley (Bailey's Crossroads, on Columbia Pike just west of VA-7), and Karen Radley (in Woodbridge on US-1 just south of Opitz Boulevard). The latter two are affiliated with each other. I believe there is a Rosenthal Acura somewhere in Montgomery County, Maryland. There is no Acura dealer in Tysons, although Rosenthal Honda might be able to do some of the servicing, especially the basic stuff.

Radley at Bailey's Crossroads offer a shuttle to the Ballston Metro stop (Orange Line) if that is a consideration for you.
