2000 Acura NSX new to the area

[whs520]

Hi, everyone,
I've got a 2000 Silver/Black NSX and I'm new to the MD/VA/DC area. I live in Silver Spring, MD, and wanted to ask some locals about where they recommend to have :

1- Service/maintenance performed
2- Stereo installation/car audio stuff installed

From a very brief online survey, I found a couple of spots to ask about: Is Rosenthal Acura any good for service? How about Daisy Imports for aftermarket stuff (I've called many times and left several voicemails- they never answered the phone nor have they returned my calls :frown: ).
Thanks in advance for now! -Tom

Welcome.
If you want service from a dealer, go to Tischer Acura, not Rosenthal.

Tischer Acura and ask for Jim Allen to work on your car only. Regina Ellick(sp?) is a really nice advisor to work with as well.

I think there are some shops in NoVA that members here have used for aftermarket and servicing as well...

Congrats for your new NSX.

I always trust Car Doctor for my Service / Maintenance Performed since 1999 and I never have a problem down the road.
Charlie is the person you need to deal with. I always let Charlie do the car inspections before I go to NSXPO.
His number is: 703-560-8870.

For Stereo / Car Audio / Custom Interior Installation, you may need to contact Scott (his user name here is Scott in MD).
His son work for the Custom Fabrication and I see his car in person at 2007 NSXPO, the quality of work is top notch.
His number is: 240-876-8233.

Enjoy your NSX

Welcome to the area.

I take my car to Curry's Auto in Dulles/Sterling.... They have a tech named Dan who is a Acura Certified NSX Tech and he is very good.

Call 571.522.1002 and ask for Jon Kofod (Service Manager and SCCA Competitor).

Regards,

Hey,
Thanks again for the suggestions.
Just as a follow-up, I called a few places and requested a quote for the timing belt/water pump service. Here's what I got so far:
1- The Car Doctor: $1550 :smile:
2- Curry's Auto: $1500 :wink:
3- Tischer Acura: $2400
So, I've been told that it's roughly 10 hours of labor, and that the charge for labor is approximately $110 per hour.
Anyways, if I find any more interesting info, I'll let you all know. Thanks again, and please keep the suggestions coming! -Tom

Give Ben @ Daisy a call. I've been very happy with his work/service on my car.

Hi, again,
Thanks once again for everyone's suggestions. Just as a follow-up, I went with Curry's Auto, and here is the breakdown of the services performed, and the cost:

1. Parts:

Timing belt $179
Water pump $355
Drive Belts $69
Spark plugs $129
Valve cover gasket kit $70
Brake/Clutch fluid $28

2. Labor:

TB/Water pump $1,100
Mount/Balance 4 tires $52

Flush Brake/Clutch fluid $165

I'm definitely satisfied with the customer service provided by the folks at Curry's Auto. I had the pleasure of meeting many of the staff, and they were all very helpful. I felt that they went the extra mile to accomodate me, and that's speaks volumes. I definitely recommend them without reservation.
BTW, there was another NSX there, and Jon told me that the owner of that car has 5! NSX's! I had heard about that before in other threads here, but I couldn't believe it! -Tom
