Need Advice on Which socal dealer is best for service

I think this is my first thread, so please bear with me if I did something wrong!

I was wanting to take my car in to get serviced. I just wanted to know how everyone's experience with the local dealers are.

The dealers close to me (from closest distance to furthest distance) are;

Sierra Acura - Alhambra, CA
Glendale Acura - Glendale, CA
Thomas Acura - Covina, CA
Metro Acura - Montclair, CA
Cerritos Acura - Cerritos, CA

Which dealers would you recommend and are any of them MOD friendly? Also who helped you at the dealers? If you have horror, stories please share!

You might get a better response if you post this in SoCal Regions.

I go to Cerritos Acura because it's the closest to me. But they're just OK, nothing special. I usually deal with James, but Katherine's helped me once or twice.

South Bay is pretty good in customer service. I know its not on the list, but they are pretty nice. Had my tranny changed out couple months after the extended warranty ended + was allowed to drive the rental TL to Phoenix and back (had a tournament). No issues whatsoever.

I used to go to Sierra Acura when I had my TL and I talked to Andy most of the time. He helped and hooked me up. But since I got the RL, Andy asked me not to take my car in because my car was too low and can't make it to the hydralic lift. But ya, if you go to Sierra ask for Andy. I still take my parent's TL there too.

I went to Cerritos Acura as a recommendation from my NSX friends. When Jon Martin was there he looked out for me, too bad he quit now. He got Katherine to helped me there too. I had a MUCH better time at Cerritos Acura than Sierra Acura. FYI my family has been loyal to Sierra for ~16 years, but I started to go to Cerritos because they treated me like family, and I also got better pricing and some free inspections.... it wasn't far too (at least I don't think so). The entire staff at Cerritos is , everyone I met including those in the sales dept has been very friendly to me, unlike Sierra where I get glanced and they walk away.

i went to sierra acura twice to get my tl serviced. angelo was my service advisor. pretty nice guy and accommodating. he even gave me two free front bumper plugs

btw, i keep hearing about andy at sierra but i've never seen him before at the service advisor desk area....
do you specifically have to ask for him and does he only work certain hours/days?
