Id like to go ahead and give another to Criswell Acura. I just recieved my new azeni's in today from vulcan tire and they will be installing these as well as changing my tranny fluid for me in time for the expo. When i went to pick up tranny fluid for a change and get my tires installed i asked how much for the tires and they said that they would do my tires on lunchbreak as well as do my tranny fluid for me . These guys are great and really have a passion for the ITR. I suggest any local ITR owners in need of service and parts talk to these guys. They are great.

 

What great luck you ran into... me on the otherhand was treated like a second class citizen...

they get a from me.

 

really, what happened? Mabey its the PY , cause we know it cant be the name

No, it's just that the majority of Acura dealerships are shitty.

 

they refused to work on my car because they said it was modded... Everything was pretty much stock except for the suspension and exhaust at the time.... they didn't believe me. So I said Fu(k them and went to Tischer.

 

and how much did they charge you for the fluid change and mounting of the tire?
figuring that what you asked them to do is basically straight forward and part of their maintance schedule.....

but if it was me... i would have done the tranny fluid myself.

mounting and balancing... i would gone to a used tire shop and pay them $5/a tire

 

Alot of dealerships are money driven.

The majority of our employees at my dealership are enthusiasts at heart. Even our General Manager, Paul Tully, is into the things us "kids" are into and can even hold up an excellent conversation when it comes to cars.

That's the last thing I would do... unless you know the owner/mechanic personally. Most used tire shop will scratch the hell out of your rims when mounting Azenis. Even good ones screw up big time with Azenis due to the stiff sidewall.

I was gonna do the tranny myself (its easy) but they said they would just do everything on their lunchbreak. They are real cool w/ me up there. They put my master cylinder (clutch) in for free and discounted my price when i purchased it. Mabey its cause i used to date the head tech's daughter

there you go my friend. looks like you got yourself a pretty good stearlership. Not charging you a penny for their labor... considered yourself lucky haha... i know the dealership where i bought my car will never mount or install anything that is bought outside their business. and if they do work on my car... i can imagine them charging me like $25 for labor alone for tranny fluid.

as for mounting tires at a used tire shop... i guess the shops you know dont care about their customers...

no problems yet at the used tire shop where i go to.
