My cousin who lives in the NW suburbs of Chicago is buying a TSX and was asking me if I knew of any recomended Acura dealerships in the area. I told him I would ask around... Any of you Chicago people have any input?
Best Dealership service?
- Thread starter Elite
- Start date
The best dealership service in the northwest suburbs is Muller's Woodfield Acura in Hoffman Estates, 847-519-9550. Their quality of service for any Acura model is outstanding; the fact that they're the biggest servicer of NSXs in the Chicago area is an added bonus for us NSX owners.
Thanks for the info. The only other Acura dealership I can think of off the top of my head is the one off of 83 and 290? But as far as location goes the Hoffman Estates one should suite him will. Thanks again.
There are nine Acura dealers in the Chicago area. The one at 290 and 83 is Napleton. I still recommend Woodfield. I take my cars to Woodfield for service, even though there are half a dozen other Acura dealers closer to me.
Thanks, I will send him to Woodfield.
Hey Mo, this is Ahad, Nasreen's friend. Didn't know you picked up an NSX. I did as well a few months ago. Hope all is well with you guys...long time no talk!

They have two techs who are experienced in working on NSXs. The lead NSX tech, who they will assign to any NSX work as long as he's available, is Ted. The other NSX-experienced tech is named Vetter (they've had both Vetter brothers, Jim and Bob, working there at different times, and I always forget which is which).djskyy said:
For routine NSX work, either one will be fine. If you have something really complicated, like transmission work for example, you might want to make sure to make an appointment for a time when Ted will be available. But everyone in the service department (all the service writers, with whom you will be making your appointment) generally tries to schedule Ted for NSX work, so they will probably do that even if you don't ask specifically for him.
Suggestions?
Question for you Chicago guys: I just flew to New York on Friday and bought a 91 NSX with 32k and drove it back to Chicago. As I am driving I begin to discover stuff that didn't work that the jerk didn't tell me about.
The lights go up but won't go back down (even with the secondary button)
I was able to put them down manually.
The light that illuminates the guages is not working (bought in daytime)
Also, the disk changer doesn't seem to be recieving any power
Do you know if these are common issues/easy fixes or should I head to the Woodfield Acura. I am afraid they will kill me on costs and I already extended myself with this car purchase around Christmas. However, I do love the car!
Thanks for your ideas

I really don't know. They are not common problems, but they could be as simple as a blown fuse. Or, they might not be. The fuses are probably the only thing I would try myself. Check the service manual to see which ones are which.skegel 1 said:
If you are not absolutely intent on driving it during the winter - I assume you have another car available to you - then one suggestion would be to store it for the winter (in other words, keep it in your garage, and don't drive it anywhere). This will help your financial situation in two ways: (1) you can call your insurance company to "suspend" your insurance coverage over the winter (this means you keep your comprehensive portion active, but you don't have collision or liability coverage - neither of which you need if the car never leaves the garage, and this will cut your insurance bill to about a fifth of what it otherwise is), and (2) you can wait until spring to have the problems fixed. Not only does this give you several months to save some money to pay for the fixes, but you can take your insurance savings and apply that to your repairs.skegel 1 said:
If you're going to store the car for the winter, you might want to hook up a battery charger to it - see this topic...
