Call me a half-***, but rather than replacing those lines I'd use a vice grip on the stripped hex nut that a line wrench wasnt used on

i still maintain that cicadas are the scariest insect in the world to people who arent familiar with them. especially when one lands on your head or on your shirt haha.

and then their bellies turn CW when they die

seeing those cicadas made me remember the cicada infestation along the east coast last year, seeing those poor little fellas had it easy getting waxed alive. I used everything I had to cause havoc on those suckers

while you mentioned Len, and I never gave him props..

He was helping me out a while ago with some parts... although i messed up my lower ball joint and just gave up and had the dealer do the labor, Len was a pretty nice guy and I give him 2 thumbs up.

And I checked the work the dealer did, and they didn't do stupid **** like what happened to your R. i guess it just depends on the mechanic..

And those damn cicadias are annoying

Sorry to hear about the car, If I had known that Acura had treated my car so badly, I wouldn't have taken it there.

As for not working on it myself, I just don't have the mechanical expertise...

I visted a friend Akron, Ohio back in '02 during the summer and just the sound those cicadas drove me crazy! It was all day and night. I seriously thought someone had left on that type of sprinkler that makes the clicking sound.

Whoa, the dealership did that, no way!!!!


Anyways, for those about concerning about work done at dealership, I made a thread to help out others whom been unsatisfied with the service.

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1311873

" If you are not satisfied with the service you recieve from your local Honda dealer, you may write to:

American Honda Motor Co., INC
Honda Consumer Affairs Dept.
Mail Stop 500-2N-7D
1919 Torrance Blvd.
Torrance, CA 90501-2746

or

If you believe that American Honda or the dealer has failed or is unable to remedy the defect in your car, without charge, within a reasonable period of time (60 days from the date you first contact the dealer for a repair appointment), you may submit a complaint to:

Administrator
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
400 Seventh St. S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20590

or call the toll-free Auto Safety Hotline at (800)-424-9393.

Also, Honda Conumer Affairs Department (800)-999-1009 "

Thanks for the advice Bert. Since the Acura dealer did such a good job servicing my car, this particular dealer doesn't get the pleasure of performing any service on my parents MDX...

I know what you mean. I"ve seen and heard many stories. Some of them are true but most of them are hard-earn people that actually care.

Its funny what I've seen in the past 6 years. Honda customer tend to be cheap when it comes for service, whereas Acura customers, they tend to pay whatever it takes.

Vice versa, Honda service tends to be flexible to care for your needs, whereas Acura service, most of them care alot, not for your buisness but to build a relationship.

Then you got your dealers that just want your money and don't give a crap who you are. That would be me, lol
