Our service department gets a 5-star review on DealerRater! Great job, team!

"Very Courteous Service. As soon as I drove up, I got service immediately with a smile and professionalism. The workers kept me informed often on the status of my vehicle and service and what the department was doing each time.

I really like the waiting area of this dealership compared to other dealerships I have used. It is quite large and the seating with the tables connected are very appropriate for the advanced technology of today where one can do computer work as well as other work and activities while they're waiting.

The Large screen TV is a definite plus. Not to mentioned the sophisticated complimentary coffee/tea and breakfast/snack area which makes it even more a plus while waiting for your vehicle to get serviced." - Gueyser

Your Monday Maintenance Tip: Seal a leaky radiator

Save the high expense of a new radiator by trying to seal a leak with a radiator sealer, such as Alumaseal from Gold Eagle Co. Available in powder or liquid form, the product circulates in the radiator until it gets to the hole, where it sets up and fills the hole upon contact with the air. Alumaseal may be used to stop heater core leaks as well.

[VIDEO]: 2012 Acura TL Commercial

A recent television spot for the Acura TL mentions a quote from Autoweek that said “this thing will corner at speeds that will drain the blood from your head.” They obviously don’t mean that literally, but we would have to say that is probably the most interesting way weve heard someone describe the TL equipped with SH-AWD!

Thank you to the author of this 5-star review on DealerRater!

"We have now bought two Acuras from Chanon Ingles at Mac Churchill Acura. We bought a 2010 certified Acura TSX with Tech Package last July and felt so good about the purchase and the relationship we had built with Chanon that we decided to upgrade our second vehicle to a new 2012 Acura TSX with Tech Package. Once again, Chanon held his relationship with us to a high standard and assisted us every step of the way. His relaxed and no-hassle approach made our decision process easy. Both my wife and I have felt very comfortable with Mac Churchill Acura from both a purchasing and servicing perspective. The only downside is that we live in Lawton, Oklahoma and the distance is a little much. Maybe they should set up another dealership here in Southern Oklahoma!' - afewnicholsons

[ACURA OWNER STORIES]: "I Heart My Acura TL" by Carla H.

What I Love about My Acura
2012 TL
Mileage: 7000
Acura of Milford

I purchased my 2012 acura with nothing but excitement in my heart! The exterior is stunning and it draws the eye to it when I drive down the street. I have been the owner of another very well known car brand but when I became an Acura owner the buck stopped here. I love my Acura TL, It took me a year to get it but I made sure one of my dreams would come true and it has i am now officially the owner of a brand new 2012 Acura TL in Bellenova White!

Your Monday Maintenance Tip: Keep leather from drying out and cracking

Leather cars seats are durable and don’t require a lot of maintenance. After a few years, however, the seats can become soiled. Use a leather cleaner to remove dirt and stains.Then apply a leather protectant formulated for pigmented or top-coated grain leather (the leather used for most leather car upholstery). Protectants will resist stains and make the upholstery easier to clean in the future. Choose a protectant that includes conditioners to keep your leather supple.

Thank you to Sylvia for this sterling review on Google!

"I've had several cars serviced at Mac Churchill and am consistently pleased with the quality and price. Most recently, I had tires rotated and balanced to remove a vibration at high speed. The wait is consistently 15 minutes longer than they estimate, but the work has been flawless and there's no vibration at high speed. I also appreciate the report of additional work that needs to be performed in the future. It helps me prioritize and budget better." - Sylvia Flachsbart

"Kenneth Clark was very professional in every way and always on top of things. We were able to negotiate a deal over email before actually going over to the dealership. Once at the dealership we were in and out with our new car in 3 hours. Definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a car and would work with him again in the future." - mukelugile
