Your authorized Acura dealer knows
your vehicle best and can provide
competent, efficient service.
However, service at a dealer is not
mandatory to keep your warranties
in effect. Maintenance may be done
by any qualified service facility or
skilled person to keep your warranty
in effect. Keep all the receipts as
proof of completion, and have the
person who does the work fill out the
Maintenance Record. Check your
warranty booklet for more
information.

We recommend the use of genuine
Acura parts and fluids whenever you
have maintenance done.
