Acura, handled by ASE Master Certified technicians at C470 and Bowles since 2008. Every repair backed 48 months and 50,000 miles.
An Acura is a Honda with better seats and a worse repair estimate. Same engines, same transmissions, same platforms, and a dealer rate that reflects the badge rather than the parts. If we can look after a CR-V we can look after an RDX.
Models we see most often: MDX, RDX, TL, TLX, TSX, ILX. If yours is not on that list we almost certainly still work on it — call and ask.
Not a list of everything that can go wrong with a car. These are the patterns that show up on this make specifically, and knowing them is most of what separates a shop that fixes your Acura from one that fixes cars generally.
None of that means your Acura is unreliable. Every make has a list. It means that when one of these shows up, we are not learning it on your car.

Dakota Ridge Auto was incredibly efficient and friendly. I brought my car in for an oil change and the staff explained everything clearly while getting the job done quickly. I left feeling confident about the service and will definitely return for any future car maintenance.
I went to Dakota Ridge Auto for a tire swap. I didnt want new tires, just the snow tires swapped out. The friendly staff called me and told me one of my tires was bad and needed to… read the rest on Google

Done to the manufacturer schedule with the specified fluids and documented, so your factory warranty stays intact.
Scan tools that read Acura-specific codes and live data, not just generic OBD-II. See check engine light diagnosis.
Pads measured in millimeters at all four corners, and alignment set to factory specification.
From timing components to full engine replacement, done in house rather than sent out. Transmission work is fluid service and replacement; rebuilds we refer.
Oil changes from $49.99 with a 32 point inspection on every one.
Every qualifying repair, parts and labor. Full terms.
Say the code when you call, or show this page on your phone at the counter. Nothing to print.
Up to $50 off, scaled to the size of the job
Say SERVICE when you call to book your appointment
Excludes towing, tires and batteries. Tax and shop supplies excluded. One coupon per invoice. Not good in combination with any other offer.
Yes. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act a manufacturer cannot void your factory warranty simply because an independent shop did the maintenance. What matters is that the work is done to specification, with the right parts and fluids, and documented. We keep records and report service to Carfax, so the history follows the car.
The pattern we see most is timing belt on the j-series v6 — mDX, TL and RL run an interference engine, so a belt that lets go takes valves with it. It is a real interval rather than a suggestion, and doing the water pump at the same time is the difference between one labour bill and two. Every make has its own list, and knowing yours in advance is the difference between maintenance and a breakdown.
We use OE or equivalent-quality parts appropriate to the job and to how long you plan to keep the car. Where an aftermarket part is genuinely as good we will say so and save you money; where the OE part is the only one worth fitting we will say that too. Either way the repair carries 48 months or 50,000 miles.
Usually on labor rate, and often on parts. The bigger difference is that you talk to the person who worked on the car. What a dealer has that we do not is factory warranty authority and recall work — if your Acura needs either of those, go to the dealer and we will tell you so.
Yes, including battery state of health testing. See our hybrid and EV page for what that involves and where the boundaries are.
Call the shop or book online. We will diagnose it properly and tell you honestly if it belongs at the dealer instead.
Open Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:30pm. Courtesy shuttle within about five miles.
