Acura Carbon Brake PAds- High Performance Pads

60 minutes or less… doesn’t seem like world record speed… it does when you see the amount of service and choreography that goes with Acura Carland’s Accelerated Service. Eric Hartzog is the service manager, and he oversaw and managed a tremendous undertaking- introducing Accelerated Service.   We have 2 teams that are dedicated to Accelerated Service.  Here is what a customer of Acura Carland will experience when performing a Accelerated Service.

Accelerated  Service Option

• Replace Engine Oil ( up to 5 Quarts) and Acura Genuine Oil Filter w/ Crush Washer- too often your Aluminum Oil Pan Bolt will get stripped and cost over $400.00 to repair
• Battery and Alignment Inspection-We will report your battery and alignment results on a color chart
• Brake Inspection- Don’t be fooled into allowing a  chain or independent repair shop to slip on hard metallic pads on your Acura, use Acura Pads that are designed for your car. Most substitutes will damage rotors .
• Inspect and Fill all Fluids as needed- Acura Transmission Fluid is Vital
• Remove and inspect Engine Air Filter
• Remove and inspect pollen (Cabin) Filter- Especially if you have allergies
• Perform Multi-point Acura Accelerated Inspection Sheet
• Wash and Vacuum Vehicle-State of the Art Recycling Car Wash

The service is only half of the value. Our technicians are specifically trained to inspect your Acura. Our Accelerated Service Technician Team will be able to quickly service your vehicle and maintain the high level of service value our Acura customers have come to enjoy. Acura Carland is your Acura Dealer in Atlanta. We have state of the art equipment and a comprehensive technician training program.

Please Visit Acura Carland.comto schedule an appointment or dial 770-813-5812.

Acura and Honda Carland Service Centers  also perform a multi-point inspection on your Honda or Acura. This form will rate the condition of your tires, brakes, and fluids. When you are ready to leave, our service advisors will review the sheet to bring you up to speed on your cars overall condition. This will help you to anticipate any needed future auto repairs or maintenance. Part of this inspection includes your braking system, tire wear, alignment inspection,  and your battery condition. It is nice to know when you are on a trip that your brakes are at 80% , your tires have about 15,000 miles of tread, and your battery’s holding steady.

All 5000 mile services are considered EXPRESS , which will insure that you will be able to be in and out within 45 minutes. An entire technician team will complete your service, and will meticulously follow the Honda EXPRESS service guidelines. Wen you bring your Honda or Acura to Roswell, Duluth, or Alpharetta- we will even wash your Honda or Acura for you.  It is very easy for an independent shop to tell you “You don’t need to, or they are over charging you, in fact, in most cases we are cheaper, but it seems that standard reply is that the dealer in some way is taking advantage of your needs. It is a common misunderstanding, but in reality- our service departments continually compare our prices with independents, and in most cases- the independent is replacing your oil filter, and that is it. When in fact – Carland Service is insuring that your Honda and Acura will receive the maintenance and care it deserves, and not short cutting to be a price leader. Our technicians are trained to specifically work on your Honda or Acura, and the Carland Group average tenure for a service technician is 4.9 years. Not bad!

Acura Carland has a great selection of New and Used Acura TLs in Atlanta

Acura is coming off one of their most successful years ever. In 2010 the Acura TL brought home the top rating for IIHS Crash-test results. Automobile Magazine wrote “The Acura’s steering is lightening quick, with an overall ratio nearly as fast as a Mitsubishi Evo’s and its thick rim communicates more feedback to the driver, especially at the limit…”. The TL has become the standard in Luxury Sedans in Atlanta. Our customers enjoy their technology, but demand the style and performance that only Acura can deliver. The Acura TL offers a wide array of interior comforts that allows the driver to integrate their technologies into their Acura. USB adui interface with iPod Integration is a must have with the iPhone users. This will allow your TL to play your music files, place it on hold, and answer the phone with Bluetooth audio. This technology is fantastic, and almost makes your commute to Atlanta seem shorter.

Performance… well the 2011 TL starts at 280 HP, and ends at 305 HP. Also, if you haven’t had the chance to drive a TL, be sure to check out the TL SH-AWD.  The experts say “…the TL begs you to steer it with the throttle. The more power you add, the more neutral the TL’s balance and the faster its scrambles through the turns. Indeed, the Acura was faster than the Audi through nearly every single corner at BeaveRun.” -Automobile Magazine. The Acura TL in Atlanta would be able to handle 85, 75, 400, and an occasional qualifying round on spaghetti junction with room to spare.

Styling- Acura’s European design is like no other. The styling exudes confidence with its “Predator” front facies and wide stance, the TL is ready to play. I had the pleasure of driving a 2011 Acura TL at night. The dash cluster lights energize the driver. The Xenon High-Intensity Discharge lights cut through the darkness, and seem to guide the TL. The styling of the dash folds contour around the driver and passenger. The 2011 TL almost seems like it was built around their comfortable form fitting  seats.

Acura Carland in Atlanta has an excellent selection of the 2011 TLs. If you are looking for a “Game Changing” Sedan, the Acura TL is the way to go. Please feel free to contact Acura Carland in Duluth, GA to schedule your testdrive. Acura Carland is one of highest rated Dealers in Atlanta.

Honda Rubber All Season Floor Mats

One of this year’s favorite Honda Accessories are the Genuine Honda All-Season Floor Mats. If you have ever walked through Georgia Clay, been to the beach with kids, or have worked in the yard you will see the difference All Season Floor Mats make in the interior of your Honda. My wife’s CRV has been the victim of countless attempts to destroy her interior by our kids… and thanks to All Season Floor Mats, we have been able to fight off these vicious attacks!

Some of the benefits are they are designed to fit exactly to your Honda’s floor board, gaps are minimized! They also have anchors that prevent them from sliding around. They are thick enough that the weight of the rubber mats itself keeps it anchored securely under the pedals and rear seats. Another benefit, is they will also fit over your carpeted floor mats, so if you are entertaining a client, and want less of a “rugged appeal” – simply remove them. Another advantage is if you spill or soil the mats – you simply spray them off with a hose!

All-season floor mats by Honda are by far one of my favorite Honda Accessories. If you would like to visit our Accessory Website, simply visit www.carlandaccessoriesoutlet.com, you will find that we are extremely competitive, and the mats will normally ship the following day! I am certain the All-Season Floor Mats will help you protect your Honda’s floorboards for years to come.

Not to mention, Acura also has earned top spots in safety and in ALG resale value. Acura has definitely set the standard in quality and engineering.  In today’s market quality, value, and safety should mean something. If you would like to determine how an Acura product can benefit your needs, please feel free to visit AcuraCarland.com. Acura Carland is located in Duluth, North Atlanta, GA Acura Dealership.

Several myths need to be discussed before we can argue proven reasons. The main reason or argument I hear, is because dealers just rip off or cost too much.  Atlanta Honda and Acura dealerships constantly adjust the prices to match immediate competitors. What happens more often, is Carland Service suggests comprehensive maintenance services that will opitmize the performance of your Honda or Acura in Atlanta. Carland Service will also use OEM parts or in our case- Honda Genuine Parts. This blog  is not condeming after market parts, because some are very comparable to OEM parts. At times, Carland Service in Atlanta may offer aftermarket parts to our customers as a courtesy, to help control costs during these trying times! The difference is we make sure the part meets crucial specifications and warranty at least matches the fantastic Honda Genuine Part’s warranty.  So many of the independant shops will not follow the recommended services of Honda or Acura. They may not inspect or top off, or replace with genuine parts, or even wash your vehicle. So, as the great Warren Buffet states ” Price is what you pay, value is what you get! “  The Carland Group provides Quality and Value! (Yes, we make mistakes like everyone- but we keep trying to improve!) So, check with your local dealer, see what they offer, and then check with the local repair shop. Be sure to check exactly what they are going to do for the $21.95 oil change- many times it is just that … change the oil!

Okay, so getting back to tires! Honda and Acura choose tires that specifically enhance the ride and feel of the vehicle! Carland Service will look at your struts, shocks, and alignment to insure that tire wear is caused by the road and time, rather than replacing your tires- and then replacing them again 25,000 miles down the road. Interesting fact-  weight distribution (Shocks and Struts) is so crucial to brake and tire wear, that the Carland Group will look at the above mentioned items to insure that your new tires will not get cupped or “Chopped” from faulty suspension systems. A 10% improper weight distribution can lower your brake-pad life by 100%  and a loss of 10 feet in braking distance.  Tires are so important to the ride quality, safety, and overall performance of your Honda or Acura. The technicians that the Carland Group employ are extensively trained to insure that the tires that we offer are OEM recommended! Carland Service wants to insure that your vehicle’s performance and safety are not compromised! According to the MAP (Motorist Assurance Program)Organization, struts and shocks should be checked at 50,000 miles. The Carland Group will inspect Alignment, Shocks, and Struts every visit! Some shops may just tell you to purchase a set of $800.oo Michelins, and feel they have completely satisfied your concerns. Since you have so much riding on your tires, please allow Carland Service the opportunity to show you the value of the services we constantly provide!

This year was different, we really wanted to help out the families that have been struggling, we wanted to help make that Thanksgiving Day warmer, and that Christmas Morning more exciting. Bill Hughes the General Manager of the Carland Group wanted to have a customer appreciation night, and raffle off some prizes to help gain attendance. We all instantly wanted to make Hearing’s Food and Toy drive a part of this , so Mr Hughes decided to advertise to our customers to bring in canned food items in November and Toy Items in December. We would issue a raffle ticket for each food or toy item. Bill Hughes, Scott Henley, Kyle Campbell, and Keith Campbell agreed to provide 32′ Flat Screens for each event (6) on top of catering and other costs. We call some of our  vendors like Cars.com, Autotrader, and Aspen Marketing, and they all donated prizes to help make these event enticing to our customers.

It was a complete success. Honda Carland, Honda Carland North, and Acura Carland brought over 3,000 canned good items for the food drive. Mike Hearing personally donated over 30 turkeys again! These events were never about the raffle- it was about the food drive, and  the Carland Group was able to create a frenzy of giving! We had customers donating cases upon cases of  food. Several customers made cash donations, and others returned several days later with more food. They all got it- it was about making a difference in someone else’s life! The customers are the ones that made the true difference, by coming out on a weekday night, and particpating in an event that helped others that they did not even know! Thank you, and we truly appreciate the opportunity of meeting and talking with each of you!

So, we have 3 more events scheduled – these will all conincide with the 9th Annual Carland Toy Drive! Same premise, bring in unwrapped toys, and we will issue you one ticket for each toy! The Carland Group will sponsor prizes ranging up to a 32″ Flat Screen TV, catering, and other service promotions.  It is important for as many people to come and partipate! Please tell one and tell all! The kids will appreciate it . Have a wonderful Holiday Season, and please try to attend one of the following events!
