Recommendations for a good maintenance place for Acura TL?
Hi all I have a third generation Acura TL, just wondering if you guys could make some recommendations to any reliable and affordable car repair/maintenance shops to do my regular maintenance like oil changes etc. I know i could just go to the dealership but its more expensive and not as reliable..any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

Where they charge you $199 for an oil change and "inspections" ? Inspections that a 14 yr old work experience kid working at Cambodian Tire wouldn't do ?

But they do dress it up by calling it Type B service?
dealerships are called stealerships
