From the TLX to the MDX, Acuras blend Honda reliability with luxury features — and they deserve a shop that knows them inside and out. Our Warwick technicians service every Acura model with the right Honda diagnostic tools, factory-spec parts, and 17 years of hands-on experience — at a fraction of dealership pricing.
Acuras are built on Honda's legendary reliability with a layer of luxury features and refinement on top — but Rhode Island's climate still puts them through it. Salt-coated winters near Conimicut, beach trips to Oakland Beach, and the rough patches of Route 117 all add up. Every Acura — TLX, ILX, MDX, RDX, RLX, TSX, TL, or older Integra, Legend, NSX — has its own service patterns. Knowing those patterns is what separates a shop that just works on Acuras from one that helps you keep them running for the long haul.
Primary Care Auto Repair has served Warwick, Cranston, East Greenwich, and the rest of Kent County for 17 years. Owner Jeff Roy and our technicians know the common Acura issues by heart — V6 timing belt intervals, J-series VTEC oil leaks, transmission shudder on older MDX/TL models, SH-AWD service, power steering hose leaks. We diagnose them quickly, fix them right, and skip the dealership prices. Most Acura service jobs are done same day at our shop on Locust Ave.
Every Acura service includes a free video inspection sent straight to your phone. You see the leaking valve cover, the worn motor mount, or the cracked exhaust manifold before any work begins. That kind of straight-up communication is why Acura owners from Apponaug, Conimicut, Hoxsie, Cowesett, and Oakland Beach trust our Warwick auto shop with their daily drivers and family SUVs alike.
The shop sits at 33 Locust Ave, just off Post Road, minutes from Warwick Mall, T.F. Green Airport, and the Route 2 corridor. Easy access from I-95 and Route 117 makes drop-off simple from anywhere in Kent County. Whether your Acura needs a quick oil change or major engine work, you'll get straight answers and honest pricing every time.

Acura owners know their vehicles aren't perfect — every model has its own pattern of issues. Here are the most common Acura problems we diagnose and fix at our Warwick shop.
The J-series V6 in TL, MDX, RL, and older RDX uses a timing belt that needs replacement at 90,000–105,000 miles. We do the full job with water pump, tensioner, and seals — never just the belt.
Acura V6 engines develop oil leaks at the VTEC solenoid and oil pressure switch on the back of the head. We replace gaskets and switches with quality parts so the leak doesn't return.
2003–2007 MDX, TL, and CL models with the 5-speed automatic are known for transmission shudder and failure. We diagnose with proper scan tools and offer fluid service or full repair as needed.
Super Handling AWD systems in MDX, RDX, and RL need proper rear differential and transfer case fluid service. Skipped service leads to expensive failures we see on these vehicles.
Acura V6 models are known for power steering high-pressure hose leaks that cause whining and steering loss. We replace with quality OEM-grade hoses and refresh the fluid.
Acura motor mounts wear out and cause noticeable vibration at idle and shifts. We diagnose front, rear, and side mounts properly and replace only what actually needs it.
From routine maintenance to major repairs, our technicians handle every part of your Acura. TLX, ILX, MDX, RDX, RLX, TSX, TL, ZDX, Integra — all models, all years.
Full synthetic 0W-20 or 5W-30 oil and OEM-grade filters for every Acura engine — K-series, J-series V6, and turbocharged 4-cylinders. See oil change service.
Quality pads and rotors sized correctly for your TLX, MDX, RDX, or whatever Acura you drive. Includes electronic parking brake recalibration. See brake repair.
Fluid service, repair, and rebuild on Acura 5-speed, 6-speed, 9-speed automatics, and 10-speed transmissions. See transmission repair.
Super Handling AWD service, control arms, ball joints, struts, and four-wheel alignment to Acura factory specs. Critical for keeping your Acura tracking properly.
Full timing belt service on J-series V6 TL, MDX, RL, and RDX — done together with water pump, tensioner, and seals the right way.
ECM, TCM, BCM, AcuraLink, and module diagnostics. Our Honda HDS scan tools talk to every Acura module — no guesswork. See check engine light.
AC recharge, compressor replacement, heater core service, and blend door repair on every Acura model. See AC & heat repair.

A 1999 Integra GS-R and a 2024 MDX Type S are completely different vehicles. Different engines, different transmissions, different electronic systems. We service the full Acura lineup — old and new — with the right Honda HDS scan tools, factory-spec parts, and the patience to diagnose properly. That's why so many Kent County Acura owners send their friends our way.

Quick answers to the Acura questions we hear most often at the shop.
Service costs depend on the job. Oil changes, brake jobs, and routine maintenance are typically much less than dealership pricing. Bigger repairs like timing belts or transmission work are quoted upfront after diagnosis. No surprises.
If you have a J-series V6 (TL, MDX, RL, older RDX), the timing belt is due at 90,000–105,000 miles. We always replace it together with the water pump, tensioner, and seals — never just the belt alone.
Yes. We work on every generation of Acura — including B-series Integras, 3rd-gen TL, original MDX, and Legend models. Older Acuras have their own quirks, and our techs know them well.
No. We use factory-spec parts and Honda HDS scan tools to handle most Acura service jobs — usually for less than dealership pricing. Your warranty stays intact when service is done by qualified techs with proper documentation.
Most maintenance and routine repairs are same-day service. Bigger jobs like timing belt replacement, transmission repair, or SH-AWD service may need the vehicle for 2 to 5 days. We give a clear timeline at drop-off.
Yes. We service Acura Super Handling AWD systems — including front and rear differential fluid service, transfer case service, and full repairs. Skipped maintenance is the top cause of expensive AWD failures.
From Apponaug Village to Oakland Beach, we keep Kent County Acura owners on the road. Walk-ins welcome when the schedule allows.
Honest Acura service in Warwick. Every model, every generation, every system. Free video inspection on every visit. Conveniently located near Route 2, Post Road, and I-95.
