Do you do any body repair? Specifically front bumper? Needs to be buffed and repainted.

Paul just completed the sooner than needed 105k maintenance for my 2003 Acura CL-S. (prepping for sale soon)

As well as headlight restoration/brake work/transmission fluid flush and other odds and ends he noticed and informed me about...and worked with me to take care of.

I highly recommend Paul and his work he sweats the details and does incredible work.

Some "clickable" pics below of my headlight restoration and motor maintenance.

hey paul

i got 78k on my 2009 acura tsx

i've just routinely changed the oil, oil filter, drain/filled the atf, new tires and new brakes so far while i've had the car.

i think i'm supposed to do a coolant drain too? i bought the fluid but haven't done it yet.

anything you recommend my car needs for maintenance?

since you are doing the coolant drain and fill
replace the radiator hoses ,over time they dry out (just a precaution)get that out of the way at the same time
cabin filter been replaced ?
whats good about those cars is that they have minimal maintenance.
check your front lower control arm bushings (compliance bushings ) the tear over time

Hi Paul,

Hi
For a timing belt ,water pump , drive belt , coolant $450
I also recommend replacing timing belt tensioner which is $100 extra parts only
Best would be for me to look the car over
