My wife and I both drive Acura's and have always relied upon the Acura dealer to do the standard maintenance on the vehicles.
Our 1999 3.2 TL has 180,000 miles on it and the 2002 MDX has 115,000 miles on it.
Both cars are running well and no longer have any warranties active.
While we have always kept up the maintenance at the proper intervals at the dealer, we are finding that we are probably spending to much money - felt especially in recent times as we no longer make as much money as we once did.
My question is simple - is the dealer providing something that other mechanics can't?
For example, both cars need oil changes and brakes - should I just go to a Firestone, Pep Boys or another place OR does the dealer bring me peace of mind that I should truly pay them a premium for their work?
What other places (if any) do you recommend to cost-effectively get work done on your car?
