Exclamation Sacramento, CA or Portland, OR area Acura Dealer Help?!.

Hey guys im not sure if this is the area to post this..im a lil new but i need someone help.

Im in sac now to 6/2 and portland 6/3 to 6/8 then back home in sac 6/9 and on.
Need someone in Norcal sac-town or portland area with connections to a Acura Dealer or somewhere that i can buy a 105k kit or pay to get it done for a minimal price. If someone works there or gets special dealer prices that could hook me up would totally help.

I really cant afford paying full-price anything while im in college...Please help me out i would like this done this week cuz i got 115k already!

Thanx again

I live in Sacramento and have a mechanic that can more than likely do it for a good price, but he isnt an Acura specific mechanic, he works on all cars. I have brought my car to Nielo Acura in Sacramento for small things and they do a good job but I wouldn't be able to hook you up or anything.

Let me know if you want the information for my mechanic.

you can use gates parts for most things- but I would go acura on the water pump- they have proven themselves over time

or, the dealer in santa rose has the 295$ kit-with more parts than most of us actually install,,so you can delete certain things,,save cash now
cam seals as example,,unless yours are leaking now~
see details in his threads or call and ask for Kaleb,,mention azine for extra 10%

dont sweat the miles,,there is a safety margin built into the numbers, time being more a factor more than miles

ask the dealer in portland if they will match the parts deals found here
labor is bound to be cheaper up there too,,maybe no sales tax??

the job can be done at home with certain special heavy duty tools, if you have experience and can work in tight spaces, a buddy is always helpful
See the DIY section

whoever you use: make sure they know about the ps belt tension
just a little too tight and kiss the ps pump goodbye!!
If they dont know about it- dont let them work on your car!!!

well i moved down from Portland, OR almost two years ago and only found this site half a year ago.

I got the 105k full kit and atf kit with couple extra things i needed from Hansel Prestige Acura. Only paid $500 but then i got RedLine Racing Atf for another $120 and spark plugs and new 50/50 radiator fluid for $100 form AutoZone. Bought the Acura belt tool $25 on eBay, helped a lot! Can do the belt w/o it

Did all the work myself overnite..12am to 8am any one needs help with it local Sac-town area then hit me up. U pay off beer and food tho =]
