Acura is Honda engineering wearing a tailored suit — the same celebrated reliability underneath, with luxury refinement layered on top. That combination makes an MDX, RDX, or TLX a genuinely smart long-term car, and it makes the dealership service department a genuinely optional expense.
At All About Imports, Acuras have been regulars since 2011 — serviced with the Honda-family fluency they are built on, at independent-shop prices.
Because Acura shares Honda’s engineering DNA, it inherits Honda’s signature maintenance items — starting with valve adjustments, which many Acura engines list on the schedule and which quietly drifting valves will never announce on their own . It is the schedule line luxury owners hear about least and benefit from most.
The V6 engines that power the MDX, older TL and RL, and V6 TLX generations have long used timing belts with firm replacement intervals — an interference-engine interval that matters enormously on higher-mileage examples, and one of the first questions worth asking about any used Acura V6. Some V6 generations with cylinder-deactivation are also known for gradual oil consumption, making between-service level checks a worthwhile habit.
On earlier automatic-transmission generations, on-schedule fluid service has outsized value — these transmissions reward owners who treat the interval as real. Newer turbocharged engines bring their own service rhythms, and the through-line is familiar: Acuras thrive on the schedule they were engineered around.

By All About Imports — Denton’s Import Specialists
Luxury-brand dealership service carries luxury-brand pricing — but an Acura’s actual needs are Honda-family needs, executed carefully and documented properly. That is exactly our lane: the same engines and transmissions we service daily under Honda badges, with the refinement items Acura adds on top. We are a family-owned Denton shop, serving Acura owners since 2011.
Well-kept records protect an Acura’s resale value as much as the work itself — and every service here is documented for exactly that reason.
Largely — and that is good news. The engines, transmissions, and core service items are Honda-family engineering, which means proven parts availability and well-understood service procedures. Acura adds luxury systems and refinement on top, but the maintenance backbone is the same schedule discipline that makes Hondas last. You get luxury-car longevity at family-car maintenance logic.
If it is a V6 — and every MDX is — yes. Acura’s V6 engines have long used timing belts with published replacement intervals, typically serviced together with the water pump. On an MDX past 90,000 miles with no belt records, that interval is the single most important maintenance question on the vehicle.
No. What protects value is the maintenance itself, done on schedule and documented — federal law allows scheduled maintenance at any qualified shop without affecting the manufacturer warranty, and complete independent-shop records read just as well to a future buyer. Pay for the work, not the waiting-room espresso.
Bring your Acura to the shop that works on them every day.
