Other than warranty work, generally any service performed at a dealer will be more expensive than an independent (or chain) shop, e.g. my Acura dealer charges $95 for A1, which is basically an oil change/tire rotation/balance iirc. I take it to a local tire chain who does the same thing for $35.

My '08 TL-S is tready for its first oil change and I am wondering what folks prefer. Ramps or Jack Stands. If I use stands I could rotate my tires at the same.

Do we need a special tool to rotate tires on the 08 w/TPMS? I saw something on TV about having to "teach" the car which TPMS sensors are attached to which wheels...

Well, the TPMS may not care, but on the 08 we get a display of all 4 tires and the pressures in each. Without reprogramming the locations, the display might say the front driver tire is low when in reality it is the rear driver tire that is low, for example.

I prefer Jiffy Lube over ramps or jack stands.
 
It seems I read in the paper a couple times a year someone getting smooshed by their car while they were under it.

IS GLOVE BOX DOOR DAMPED? by bartalk3

I have an '06 TL. I had the B12 maintenance done by my local Honda dealer (no Acura dealer in town). They changed the interior air filer which is accessed by taking off the glove box. I don't know what experience their mechanics have in removing the Acura glove box.
 
Anyway, after I got the car back, the glove box door seemed to just plop down by gravity after opening it. I seem to remember that before I had the work done, the glove box door was damped or at least opened more slowly.
 
My question: Does the glove box door on the TL just drop down by gravity or is the door damped or sprung so its descent is more gradual than just a gravity drop?
 
Thank you.
