Can Honda do maintenance on the TL?

Hi everyone, made an appt at the local Acura dealer to do some work. Called the neighboring Honda and they said no take it to Acura, even though it's the same parts.

Basically they want close to $300 for trans, transfer and rear diff fluid swaps and $40 for the oil change. I was wondering if Honda can do it instead, it would save me quite a bit of money I assume.

Thanks!

For regular service you can go to a honda dealer but for warranty work you have to go to a acura dealer

Don't go to Paragon. They are probably lying to make you go to Paragon Acura anyways. The sales team at Paragon are the biggest jokes and liars I have ever dealt with. So much so that I doubt they would treat all their customers like crap.

I guess I'll only do the oil change as that is needed and get off my lazy ass and do the rest myself. If only I could rent a lift.
