I'm just venting here, so my apologies if this seems long.
Well, I dropped off the NSX today at Acura of Bellevue and all I have to say is "what a bunch of fucking morons!!" At the service counter, I was telling the "service consultant" about an appointment to get an alignment done due to a very shortened life span on my rears. Told him I got almost exactly 2000 miles on OEM yokos and that I thought the alignment was out of wack. He drives my car over some pressure plates which has some sort of digital meter attached to it. Afterwards, he tells me that if my wheels were off alignment, it would've registered because this meter is very very accurate. The only way to get more accurate readying is by connecting it up to an alignment machine that uses lasers to get pin-point accuracy.
The guy starts telling me that if the alignment is off, it wouldn't have any impact to the wear on the rear tires and tries to dissuade me from getting an alignment. The only way to increase treadlife on the rears is to "detune the supension and one guy had it done and he was able to get 35,000miles on his NSX." After this BS, he and I get into a 15minute discussion on the alignment, treadlife, tires, suspension, and so forth. He tells me that 2000 miles is not uncommon. So I tell him that I was able to get 5500 miles on my last tires and I drove much less aggressively on the 2nd set. He calls in a technician and they both try to tell me that short lifespan on these tires are normal. I tell him that's BS. If there's nothing wrong with my car, there's no way I can go from 5500 miles to 2000 miles with less aggressive driving than my first set of tires.
I start to get really pissed off there and I am getting ready to walk out and thinking about scheduling an appointment w/a different dealership. Finally, the Service Manager comes, after the Service Consultant explains the situation. Then they both start to tell me that alignment isn't covered under warranty, blah blah blah. I tell the Service Manager that I don't care about the cost of the alignment. I wanted my car looked at and if there's anything wrong, I want it fixed so that I don't have to buy new tires every 2000 miles.
Now the car won't be ready for 6 hours and I'm regretting leaving my car in the hands of these incompetent idiots.
