My ITR just hit 30,000 miles a few days ago, and I called the local dealership to set up an appointment for the 30,000 service, which is apparently pretty major. They said it would cost 620 BUCKS!!!! Does this sound right to you all? That seems ridiculously high for a scheduled service. WHat have you guys been paying for the 30K service?

I paid around 390 for my 30000 mile service. I know it can depend on the area you live in. But reguardless that still seems way too much. Call around other Acura dealerships. I dont trust any Acura dealerships, I've been screwed over too many times. But luckily I have a friend who is a certified Honda Mech. so he charges me less than half the dealership price for any of the services. Anyways, Good Luck!

 

Look at the things that need to be done, you can do it by your self. Valve Adjust, Tranny Fluid, Oil Change ex. Says in your Drivers Manual...not hard to do.

 

you live near Charlotte?

if so I will cut you a good deal for the 30K service

fyi: dealers suck

 

damn... that's like double the price. Mine was like three something....

 

I work at honda and a 30k service is $299.99+tax.

 

I can do it for $200

 

ncitrdude, have Willard do the work. He'll hook you up and he's practically a Honda/Acura mech.

 

see my last post on this thread....

You are getting ripped

 

how much did they charge you for your headlight fluid change? Some times they add a few $$ for that service.

 

What dealer was this, btw?

 

Harris Acura? or the $620 quote?

My 30K service was 0 dollars, cause I skipped it.

 

I have the reciept from mine from flow and it was 320 or thereabouts...

which dealership?

 

Trying to find out who quoted him $620. That's about $320 more than normal dealer prices, which is about $220 more than it's worth already.

Harris Acura =

 

Performance Acura in chapel hill. I'm just pissed because I got my car from there, and didn't expect them to try and gouge the hell out of the price. I like going there since its so close, but I'll have to find somewhere else now. Leith in Raleigh quoted 276 (without alignment and fuel injector cleaner, which i'm assuming is pretty pointless anyways), so i'm gonna do it there. I would try and do everything myself, but I don't have the tools or the time in the next few weeks with school and all. THanks for all the input everyone...

 

also, where is Harris Acura? I couldn't find a listing for it...

 

That is such a rip...

 

my garage.

 

Performance quoted me $250 for a 15k mile, which for the stuff I wanted, was pretty much a 30k mile (valve adjustment, etc).

Give Willard a holler - he's the owner/proprietor/parts guy/mechanic of Harris Acura

ps - he lives exactly 2 hours from Autopark Honda/Leith Acura (on hwy 64 near Apex). Close enough to be well worth it.

 

Too bad your not in So CAL I would do it for you for

 

$620?? Does that include the VASELINE? Go somewhere else or have Willard do it. I would have Willard do the service. Maybe he'll take BEER as a payment..

 

i dont even know willard and i say go w/ him...im not sure but alignment isn't something ud wanna pass is it? maybe not...plus its a chance to meet an educated person and in my experience this is the best way 2 learn....just my thoughts

 

i'll almost guarantee that....except for specialized tools

 

Some cash for valve adjustment tool rental, the rest (labor) in beer
