Superb durability makes any Acura, new or used, money well-invested. As long as you follow a sensible service schedule at your Acura dealership, you’ll get more mileage out of your luxury car than with almost any other automotive brand. Here’s a rundown of services not to miss.
Brake Inspections
Routine brake inspections will save both you and your car from the risk of a collision. Most drivers should have their brakes checked twice a year.
Brake pads and rotors wear down steadily and need replacing periodically. If you use your brakes excessively (by regularly driving in heavy traffic daily, for instance) your pads and rotors will wear down more rapidly, and you may need brake inspections three or even four times per year.
Oil Changes
Your Acura’s engine runs super-smoothly because of the motor oil lubricating its shafts, pistons, rods, and valves. Make sure your oil is up to scratch with regular checks and a full oil change twice a year. The oil filter will usually also need to be replaced along with the oil.
Coolant Flushes
The cooling system is just as essential as any other drivetrain component. Check your coolant often, and have it flushed every two or three years. If you schedule yearly cooling system inspections, our technicians can keep an eye on the condition of your coolant and flush it when necessary.
Tire Rotations
Your tires will keep safely gripping the tarmac with routine rotations, where the tires are swapped around to prevent uneven tread wear. During each rotation, also have the alignment of your tires checked.
Air Filter Replacements
The air filter protecting the engine from dust and pollutants slowly clogs up. You’ll need to replace it once a year or more frequently if you regularly drive along dusty roads or commute through heavy traffic. Your cabin air filter should be replaced on a similar schedule.
Battery Tests
Once a year, have your battery tested. You’ll need to install a new one every three to five years. It’s best to have it tested before winter, when the cold can destroy a weak battery. Some drivers also have their car batteries tested after winter has finished, in case the cold has slowed them down.
Spark Plug Replacements
Your spark plugs are essential to the entire combustion system. Have your spark plugs checked once a year during a full engine inspection and tune-up. You’ll need new plugs every two years or so, although higher grade spark plugs can last a good deal longer.
