Acura A1 Maintenance Minder Description
The Acura maintenance minder code sheet above lists all the main and sub service items with A1 highlighted.
“A” Main Service Item
Acura describes the “A” service as an engine oil change only. Although it recommends oil change only, it is best practice to replace the oil filter whenever the oil is changed.
“1” Sub Service Item
Acura describes the “1” service as a tire rotation. In addition to rotating the tires, dealerships will also check the tire pressure and treads for wear or punctures.
Acura A1 Service Cost
The A1 service typically costs $50-$150. The cost will depend on the specific Acura vehicle you have and the labor cost rate.
For simple maintenance services like the A1, most dealerships and 3rd party auto shops offer coupons and discounts. We suggest calling several locations beforehand to get the best deals.
“A” Service Cost
The “A” service, or oil change, typically costs $50-$100 depending on the Acura model you have. It is a 30 to 40-minute service with the cost mostly from the parts. Some Acura vehicles, like the 2022 MDX, require synthetic oil which is more expensive.
