Advantage Acura of Naperville

So, 7 years ago I bought a brand new I was the first to test drive it Acura. This year it developed an external head gasket leak. Continental was not very honest in how they approached me with this news- test drive it Acura. This year it developed an external head gasket leak. Continental was not very honest in how they approached me with this news--first telling me when my car had no oil or filter in it and was on a lift--as if I could be trapped into doing $2700 worth of work just like that--they put their oil into the pan when I complained, but my costly Amsoil filter (all of which would be lost if I did the head gasket) and then trying to frighten me into thinking a small oil leak in a 7-year old car was dire. Car was really fine--small oil leak--eventually, 6 mo later, it needed a timing belt, so I went elsewhere to have this done after my bad experience and was told my engine had been heli-coiled!!!! AND the heli-coils were what had caused the gasket leak, and they had stripped--3 front bolts on my head were spinning freely. NOW--I bought this car brand new and there had never been any engine repair done in 7 years. BUT once there had been a recall on the timing belt tensioner--so this had to be when the heli-coils ended up in my engine. Con Acura is taking no responsibility for this or the fact that I now lose the longevity and reliability that Acuras are known for, as it is unlikely I can ever do another engine repair on this car, and it is unlikely the head gasket job will hold long-term with new heli-coils. (of course my second mechanic could have recommended a rebuilt engine, which he did not) Someone at Acura damaged my engine and did not fess up and I am stuck. More

I was recomended to this dealership based on the great shop. I have for the last two years used the shop and they have lived up to their reputation. The sales departments is a whole different story. If La shop. I have for the last two years used the shop and they have lived up to their reputation. The sales departments is a whole different story. If Larry Ladd is an indication of the whole staff I will never buy here again. The prices are good but Larry offered one price for a trade-in then at the closing changed it. I should have walked away but the wife was in love with the car. if you go here get your trade-in offer in writting since the salespersons word is worth nothing. This is what the sales manager asked when I related the issue - Did you get that in writting? oh well leason learned but be carefull if you go here. More

The salesman (larry ladd) performed a bait and switch. He offered one price for our trade in then when the papers were drawn up he change the amount. When we pointed the error out to the sales manager he ask offered one price for our trade in then when the papers were drawn up he change the amount. When we pointed the error out to the sales manager he asked if the trade in offer was in writting. Not very honest in their sales approach. Shop on the other hand is top notch. great service dept which was why we were recomended to them in the first place. Buy you car someplace else and have these guys work on it. More
