Well I took my car to get the 37,500 mile service yesterday and I decided to go to McGrath Acura, which is a brand new dealership in the Chicago area. I paid $113 for the fookin' service, which was kind of a rip off... but they did fix a couple of squeaks and rattles in my car so I'm happy. The sales dude in the service department was uber-helpful, I asked him if he could print out the service records for my car, and instead he spent about a half hour going through everything that was ever done in the past on my car. Definately some good customer service if nothing else.

You Chicago boys need to check out this dealership's service bay, it's ******* HUGE, like I wish I had brought my camera huge. I would say that they had AT LEAST 20 car lifts, I was pretty impressed ALSO, they have over 40 loaner cars (according to the guy) so I got a '00 LS to tool around in for the day while they played with my car. I was pretty suprised they gave me a loaner when I came in to get a service check done, I originally called Continental Acura in Lisle and they basically told me to go **** myself when I asked them about loaners

 

wait, this is a new one up in the chicago area??? i bought mine at mcgrath acura up by morton grove, this isnt the same one right??? well they wanna charge me $95 just to give me my security code for my damn radio...bastards deleted all my info cuz i never brought my car in for services...oh well, hook it up with the directions buddy....peace

 

http://www.acuradealer.com/countryside/ is their place

 

Well, a positive review of a dealership. That's a rarity. Glad you were pleased with the service. I just wish I could say the same for my dealership.

 

Good service, a little expensive... but you get what you pay for I suppose.

 

I hear that Woodfield Acura is the place to go, but we can always use another good dealer.

 

Acura of Libertyville ain't bad either.

Pauly Acura, though... I avoid like the plague b/c of the sales staff. Parts is good there, though.

 

Ha I wish that were true at all dealers. I paid 30 bucks for an oil changeat the dealership. Then, they leave the drain plug loose...WTF My dealer's their service dept. leaves something to be desired especially for the money they charge. But that ok , I doing my own work anyway.

 

Pauly Acura's Service department is good. Their mechanic Chuck is very good and KNOWS how to take care of a Type R. He knows how paranoid the Type R owners are.

 

Hahaha, this is true.

 

LOL, true.

 

I've had good service w/the McGrath in Glenview...they hooked me up w/a bunch of free misc. parts (like interior clips, screws, front plate mount, etc.). Woodfield Acura has been decent as well. I let them do a valve adjustment on my car ...and it ticked like crazy afterwards, but of course they fixed it, no charge.

 

Speaking of valve adjustments, I have to do one very soon. I'm at about 26,000 miles now.....
