Dealer dependent

I wouldn't indict Honda if a dealer doesn't offer a loaner. I mentioned it before, my dealer has several loaners available. When I took my 12 year old Accord that wasn't even bought there in for service they were out of loaners so they rented me a vehicle. It was an econobox but was perfectly adequate IMO. As far as Acura, you gets what you pay for. IMHO they are Honda's with a few extras for thousands of dollars more. But the dealers offer free loaners and coffee (I actually heard someone say this was the reason he bought an Acura) so they must be worth it (but my Honda dealer does that as well). Hondas can be taken to Acura for service and vice versa. My guess is the Acura dealer will treat you the same as if you were bringing in an Acura, but again I'm sure it is dependent on the dealer.
