Acura: Driving Luxury Forward

Routine maintenance is key for any vehicle’s long-term performance. When it’s time to do maintenance on your Acura, turn to a trusted vehicle service partner with a longtime reputation for quality service like Rapid Tire. Since 1976 Rapid Tire has serviced the Laurel, MT area, specializing in routine and advance maintenance for luxury vehicles like Acuras. 

A Leader in Innovation 

Known now for its reliability, safety features, premium interiors, and quality craftsmanship, the Acura brand was born out of the trusted Japanese vehicle manufacturer, Honda, in 1986. After decades of research and planning, Honda had decided to launch its first-ever luxury automotive brand. Acura represented Japan’s entry into the luxury vehicle market. The introduction of this sophisticated division of Honda made major waves throughout the automotive industry, proving that Japanese manufacturers could now rival high-end European and American vehicle models. Since the introduction of Acura, the public began to think of Japanese automobiles as much more than just an economical option. 



Over the next several years, popular automotive counterparts like Nissan and Toyota followed suit, coming out with their own luxury vehicle lines. Numerous innovations, including Super Handling All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD), Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE), and Variable Valve Timing (VVT), can be attributed entirely to Acura's groundbreaking contributions.

Entering the New Millennium 

By the late 1990s to early 2000s, Acura had become a popular choice among shoppers, especially the younger generations. In the 2000s, Acura unveiled a series of new models including the 3.2 TL, which posed a substantial challenge to competitors such as Lexus, Infiniti, and BMW. The luxury Japanese brand stood out by including a greater number of luxury features that came standard. 

Routine Maintenance

In addition to annual inspections, there is a handful of routine service milestones that are recommended for most Acura models: 

• 7,500 mile service: Oil change and tire rotation 
• 15,000 mile service: Air filter change
• 30,000 mile service: Another oil and air filter change, plus air and cabin filter replacement
• 45,000 mile service: Flushing/replacement of brake fluid and rear differential change
• 60,000 mile service: Transfer case fluid change, and transmission fluid change
•
