Acura Service & Repair in

Glenolden, PA | Briarcliffe Auto Service

Since 1986, Acura has built a reputation for blending luxury with reliability. Vehicles like the TL, MDX, RDX, and Integra offer premium features and performance without sacrificing the dependability that Acura owners have come to expect.

That blend of performance and practicality means Acura vehicles demand attention to detail when it comes to service and repair. These aren't stripped-down economy cars; they have sophisticated drivetrains, tighter tolerances, and advanced electronics that require a shop with the right knowledge and equipment.

At Briarcliffe Auto Service, we've been taking care of families and their vehicles in Glenolden since 1987. Our technicians work on Acuras regularly and understand what keeps these vehicles performing the way they should.

Common Acura Problems We See

Every brand has their common issues, and Acura is no exception. Here's what brings Acura owners to our shop most often:

Transmission Issues Acura's automatic transmissions, particularly in 2001-2006 TL and MDX models, have a well-documented history of premature failure. Symptoms include harsh shifting, slipping, grinding noises, and delayed engagement. If your transmission is acting up, early diagnosis can sometimes catch problems before they require a complete rebuild or replacement.

Power Steering Pump Whine A loud whining noise when turning the wheel is common in many Acura models. The power steering pump tends to wear out over time, and ignoring it can lead to complete failure. This is especially common in the TSX, TL, and MDX.

Excessive Oil Consumption Some Acura engines, particularly the 2.4L four-cylinder found in the TSX and early RDX models, are known for burning oil faster than normal. If you're adding oil between changes, the piston rings or valve seals may need attention.

Catalytic Converter Failures Acuras are prone to catalytic converter problems that trigger check engine lights and cause failed emissions tests. This is often related to the oil consumption issue—excess oil damages the converter over time.
