Well, your logic would hold true but in my case it doesn't, because twice I
took it to Acura dealers. The first one screwed up a perfectly good CV
joint, telling me that simple repacking of bearings and replacing the CV
boots would suffice. After a 300 mile trip, it was evident the CV joint was
bad. The second dealer took at CV axle off and replaced it with one that
was too dam short.

I don't know if these two dealers are exceptions, especially one right after
another. I do know that at one time Acura was a dam good car and the
dealers were dam good. I'm not so sure anymore. I've heard that Acura cars
have gone downhill a lot. Apparently so have the dealer service
departments. That's why I'm shopping around for a better car than the
present day Acura POSs.

I haven't been thrilled with my Acura dealer's service on my 94 GSR,either.
There's only two dealers in town,and the other one is way far away.I've
been a solid Honda-Acura customer for many years now(since 1979),but I
don't like much of their current offerings.Don't like the RSX compared to
the Integras(getting more egg-shaped),and I'm sad that the Prelude went
away,don't want a 2-seater like the S2000,but like sporty,fast cars.

I've never had a problem with any Acura dealer (multi-state) but
agree with the current designs for the RSX vs Integra. I preferred the "low
beltline" designs that ended with Mr. Honda's death. Apparently Honda's
post-Honda minions decided to mimic the Toyota-crowd's "egg" designs.
Not very impressive. The RSX's "prow" looks like a "beak" .. . not sleek.
High beltline designs restrict side and rear vision .. . ungraceful . ..
cumbersome. Honda should do a re-think, IMHO. They wouldn't design an NSX
thus .. .
