Acura Service Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Whether you're new to ownership or a longtime enthusiast, having the right answers about Acura service helps you protect your vehicle and your investment. From routine maintenance to more complex repairs, the team at Acura of Sherman Oaks is here to make sure every visit to our service center leaves your vehicle performing at its best.

How Often Should I Service My Acura?

Acura recommends following the Maintenance Minder™ System built into your vehicle. Rather than relying on a fixed mileage interval, the Maintenance Minder™ monitors your driving patterns and conditions to alert you when service is genuinely due. While many Acura vehicles require an oil and filter change somewhere between 5,000 and 7,500 miles, your vehicle's Maintenance Minder™ System provides the most accurate recommendation based on your driving habits and conditions.

What Is Included in a Routine Acura Service Visit?

A standard service visit typically covers an Acura oil and filter change, tire rotation, and a multi-point inspection. Depending on your vehicle's Maintenance Minder™ code, additional items such as air filter replacement, brake fluid service, or spark plug inspection may also be recommended. Our service advisors will walk you through exactly what your vehicle needs before any work begins.

Should I Only Take My Acura to an Acura Dealership for Service?

While third-party shops can handle basic maintenance, there are real advantages to servicing your Acura at a certified dealership. Acura-trained technicians have brand-specific expertise and access to genuine Acura parts, which helps preserve performance and warranty coverage. For anything beyond an oil change, including AcuraWatch™ system recalibration, SH-AWD® diagnostics, or software updates, a certified service center is the right choice.

How Do I Schedule a Service Appointment?

Scheduling is straightforward. Drivers in Sherman Oaks, CA, and surrounding areas can book an appointment online through the Acura of Sherman Oaks service portal or call our service department directly. Loaner vehicles may be available for longer service visits, so it is worth asking when you book. We recommend scheduling in advance for more involved services to minimize wait times.

Does My Acura Come with Any Complimentary Maintenance?

Many new Acura vehicles include the Acura Maintenance Program, which covers select factory-scheduled maintenance for a limited time or mileage. Coverage varies by model year and vehicle, so our team can review the benefits included with your Acura and help you make the most of them.
