I just finised up the rest of my 90k service at the local honda dealership.... They had good service....(obviously not close to an acura dealer) and good prices.....I paid 310 ..compared to other honda dealers who quoted 400.....plus acura 550....and the local mehanic 369.

Just sharing....

Yes - please enlighten all of us here in MD.

Do they do ALL the service as stated in the Acura manual or do they have their own Honda 90k items.

Err...

did they not replace the water pump and timing belt???

errr... ?

Alexander · 01-02-03, 02:46 PM

Just to let you all knoe, local Honda dealer here works on Acura too. They don't seems mind at all. They did work on my car before too. But it is just sometimes hard to get parts.

I was quoted 550 for the job..but they always have coupons on there web site so it ended up being a little under 500...they did a good job...
plus i got all you can drink starbucks and krispee kream...

95gs · 01-06-03, 05:47 PM

WOW - $550 form another Acura!!!

Now that trip to Canada seem less enticing.

Damn you Mike! - j/k.

I think I schedule it soon.

Sures beat the $800 Acura pricing for the TB /WP & $600 for the 90k thing over at Ellicott City (& this is AFTER the coupons)

Thanks

95gs · 01-07-03, 04:03 PM

Mike-

I just scheduled an appointment w/ Rosenthal Acura for my 90k & Timing belt/WP service.

Total came up to $925 w/o oil change since i do my own oil (tax included & also a loaner car).

Most places I called up were charging $750 to $890 just for the TB/WP thing only!

I guessed my baby needs a professional pampering once in a blue moon.

Thx for the heads up on Rosenthal

Water pump and timing belt is actually not part of the 90k service. But it is recommanded to be replaced at the 90k interval, so most people have them done together. Mine 90k service was $400 and my TB and WP was another $800 here in Michigan at the local acura dealer. I also called the Honda dealers here, but they just refered my to Acura.

Nice.........check your pm.. i sent you a link to a coupon...

Also I guess they discrimnate against G1s cause I ain't get no loaner..

HAHAHA

95gs · 01-08-03, 12:12 PM

YEah thx - that price I was quoted is after coupons ($1060ish before).

Not bias against G1 cause my G2 TB/WP is $540 after discount (wasn't your's $500ish?).

I'm crossing my finger that all they have for a loaner is a NSX!

Oh well - guessed I'll be looking for that ramen noodle thread recipete for the next 6 months or so...
