The dealership is byfar the best place to take your car. We know more about your car than anyone ,and we have the best parts for your car. Also if you have a problem at a dealership you will have some recourse availible through Acura. At an independant shop you will have none.

If you cant afford the dealer prices, do it yourself.
If you cant do it yourself, buy a car you can afford to have repaired.
