Honda Car Forum

I have a 2009 Acura TSX and its telling me its time for an oil change. The closest Acura dealer is really far away and I was wondering if I can just bring it to the local Honda dealer? Can I bring it to any service station (not just dealer) like a Jiffy Lube or foreign cars place? Any comments would be greatly appreciated!!!! ThanxI just called the local Honda dealer and they said that they do not service Acuras (o_O*) ???

I would inquire how much the oil change costs at the dealership. Many dealerships are now offering oil changes at a price very competitive with the Jiffy Lube type places. Any garage should be able to handle changing your oil. Jiffy Lube would be last choice.

What he said. Jiffy Lube would be the last place. high school kids, stoners, and females work there. of course you can take an acura to a honda dealership. thats asking if you can take a honda to a honda dealership. do it.btw, bad ass car.

Absolutely! I bring my 2003 RSX-S in to my local Honda dealership all the time. Acura's labor rate is typically $110/hr whereas Honda dealerships typically charge $60/hr. I would also expect oil changes to be slightly cheaper at Honda. I personally wouldn't take my car to any type of oil change center like Jiffylube or Valvoline. Too many young kids working there. Either find a dealership or learn to do it yourself.

Yess u can bring it there. But u can also try bringing it to local gasoline stations that offer it.Its all about competition and where is cheaper than others.

i'm not sure what type of dealership you're dealing with, but in nc, as well as the rest of the world, honda is the producer of its own flagship mark, known as acura. if these guys told you that, do find yourself another dealer, or an independent shop. they're really NOT who you want with their paws on your ride, if they can't even change the oil. you do want a reputable shop, so ask around, make some visits. if you feel any discomfort, keep shopping. cheaper isn't always better, but try to avoid those kwikie lube-type places.

You will have no problem taking it there. Acura and Honda are the same thing, same engines, same transmission, just minor differences. I have a first generation TSX, and have had it serviced at Honda before. For future reference, if you need replacement parts, such as wiper blades, visit the Honda dealer, it's like half the price of the Acura dealer for the same exact part.

Yeah you should be able to take it to a Honda dealership. But don't, they'll probably charge you an arm and a leg for a simple oil change. Just go to wal mart and buy 5 quarts of synthetic oil, the right oil filter for your car, and do it yourself! It's as simple as unscrewing a plug and spinning off a filter.
