So i go to the Acura Dealership today to pick up my front emblem. My front acura badge was stolen and needed a replacement. So the service guy and i begin to talk. All of a sudden, he brings up my paint. "That's a nice paint job you got there where'd you get it done? It looks really well done" I, without trying to correct him, simply just say thanks and walk away. to the people that work at Acura dealerships.

 

I don't get it.

ditto.

 

are you saying he didn't think it was a real aaR? If so, I to seem to get more people who think mines a fake Itr than a real one. I've had quite a few "nice five-lug conversion" comments...lol

 

my point was... that the ppl working at the acura dealership dont even know what a type-r was. He was talking to me like as if he did not know wut a type-r was. thats all i was saying =\

 

did you make the 'brushing-off-the-shoulder' move as you walked away?

 

Not everyone is an enthusiast.

 

are you saying that he thought that it was an aftermarket paint job although it is an oem color? some people just don't know...

 

I figured the ppl working at the dealership would know that th epaint job was the oem paint job not a custom one. IT seemed like he didnt knwo wut a type-r was.

Your such a ***

....and damnit turn your instant messages back on!

 

Considering even the newest Type Rs are almost 4 years old and any CW ITR is at least 7 years old, ever cross your mind that the guy working at the dealership was aware of what your car was but had never seen one before? to you for being an asshat.

 

Damn, I thought this was another DC5-R coming to the USA thread. I just lost brain cells reading this.

 

he was commenting your car man..

yepz. I agree with this guy.

Just because they work there doesn't mean they know everything that has an acura badge on it. Be considerate, some people work to make a living...rather then live in there parents house, and have everything given to them.

 

what dealer was it in il? libertyville refused to believe that type r floor mats existed when they gave me gsr floor mats... aaaaaaand then i came back with a part number and shoved it in their faces.

 

This is a pointless topic, don't keep it going guys.....damn what have I done

 

well when I went last week to pick up my R from getting a new drivers side axel put in, the service guy looked up my name and looked over to the left of me and say well there's your car, pointing to a green 97 LS, I was like ummmm... no and I look over into the back lot and I say that "Type R" over there is my car....sure made him look like an ***.....

i got the same thing..you get stupid comments like "thats a nice rs/ls with a conversion" ,"is that a real type-r", "how much it cost you to change it all over" i just look at there face and dont even bother telling them anything

 

the Acura dealership mechanics here in Wilmington NC know there sh*t......and even that parts guy there is a member of HT....the guys i know there drive nice....real nice cars...one even owns an R and another has had more than one R.....I love my ACURA dealership mechanics....and even the parts dude!!!!!!

Not surprised. I knew much more about the TL than the sales person did. He tried to convince me that the base automatic trans. model and the 6 speed manual had the same brake calipers.

 

Some dealerships service a lot of them. Some don't.

I can assure you that if you bring your car to Woodfield Acura in Hoffman Estates, or Pauly Acura in Highland Park, or Acura of Brookfield near Milwaukee for service, they know the ITR very well. The other seven dealerships in the Chicago area, not necessarily.

Wow, that's such an intelligent generalization.

Yeah, that's pretty bad though. All you have to do is look at them to see that they're different.

 

next time just take a "Type R for Dummies" book
