To give you an idea of how we can help, here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about these services.

Should I Lease or Buy a Car?

Leasing and buying are two Acura financing options we offer, and there are benefits and drawbacks to both. The best way to determine whether you should lease or buy a car is to speak with a representative from our Finance Center. We can point you toward the right option based on your needs.

How Do Auto Loans Work?

Oil changes are serious business. Believe it or not, whether or not you’re getting an Acura oil change regularly could mean the difference between a healthy engine and a massive expense. So, what happens if you don’t get your oil changed regularly? And how do you schedule an oil change? Learn the importance of an oil change at Acura of Peabody.

What Is the Engine Oil’s Function?

Oil is the lifeblood of your Acura car’s engine. First of all, it provides slick lubrication for the delicate moving parts in the engine. It enables smooth and efficient movement and prevents parts from grinding against each other and wearing away. In turn, it also keeps the engine cool by preventing friction between moving parts from generating too much heat. Without a steady supply of oil, the parts of your engine would struggle to move and your car would eventually overheat.

Why Are Regular Oil Changes Necessary?

Unfortunately, even high-quality engine oil doesn’t last forever. Eventually, it starts to pick up dirt, dust, and other particles, which are filtered out by the car’s oil filter. However, over time, the oil filter becomes clogged and the flow of oil is disrupted. Debris continues to build up without being filtered out, causing the oil to degrade into a sludgy substance. It can no longer provide effective lubrication, and its gritty texture can actually damage parts even more. If you let this go too long, it will cause your engine to overheat and may lead to significant expenses to fix or replace it.

How Often Should I Get My Oil Changed?

To avoid the potential problems of contaminated oil, you should get your oil and oil filter changed regularly. Experts recommend that you do this about every six months, or 6,000 miles traveled, whichever comes first.

Schedule Your Acura Oil Change in Peabody, MA

The best way to get your oil changed is to bring your vehicle to an Acura Service Center like the one at Acura of Peabody. Our experienced technicians can provide this service in less than an hour. If you’re overdue for an oil change, don’t wait any longer. Schedule service at Acura of Peabody today!

Looking to take out an Acura lease from Acura of Peabody? You might be unfamiliar with this process, but the team at Acura of Peabody is here to help. Here’s what you need to know, including a list of terms that might come up during your lease agreement.

What Is a Car Lease?

At Acura of Peabody, leasing is one option you have for Acura financing. When you lease a vehicle, you are allowed to drive it for a fixed amount of time or miles, during which you make monthly payments. Because these payments are typically lower than monthly auto loan payments, leases can often help drivers stay within their budgets. Let’s demystify some of the most important terms to know before you lease your Acura.

Acura Lease Glossary

Default charge: A penalty you must pay if one of your monthly payments is late

Depreciation: The difference between a car’s MSRP and its value when the lease is up. A monthly lease payment may incorporate a depreciation fee to account for this.

Inception: The start of the lease agreement. Some leases include inception fees due at this time, such as down payments, security deposits, acquisition fees, first monthly payments, taxes, or title fees.

Lessee: The person who leases the car — in this case, you.

Lessor: The entity that grants that lease — in this case, Acura of Peabody.

Mileage allowance: The maximum number of files you can put on the car during your lease without incurring any penalties. If you exceed this number, you may need to pay a mileage charge.

Purchase option: The lessee’s option to buy the car at the end of the lease agreement. If you chose to do this, you will likely have to pay the car’s residual value, which is the car’s estimated value when the lease is up.

Wear-and-tear charges: Fees you may incur if your car suffers a lot of damage during your lease. Your lease agreement should specify what kind of damage counts as “reasonable wear-and-tear” and what kind results in additional charges.

No matter how well-made and reliable your car is, there will be a time when you need some expert Acura service. A dead battery is something that can’t always be avoided. Eventually, you might find yourself in need of a jump-start. Fortunately, this is something you can usually do yourself, and it’s easier than you may think. Let’s take a look at how to jump-start your car battery when you find yourself in a roadside emergency.

What You’ll Need

To jumpstart your car, you’ll need a pair of standard jumper cables with two red clamps and two black clamps. You’ll also need a vehicle with a working battery.

How to Jump-Start Your Battery in 7 Easy Steps

1. Park the car with the working battery across from your Acura so that the hoods of two cars are facing each other. You’ll want just a couple feet of space between the two. Make sure both cars are fully turned off and engage the parking brakes.
2. Open the hoods of each car and locate the batteries. Identify the positive (+) and negative (-) battery terminals.
3. Connect one of the red clamps to positive terminal on the dead battery. Connect the other red clamp to the positive terminal on the working battery.
4. Connect one of the black clamps to the negative terminal on the working battery; finally, attach the remaining black clamp to an unpainted metal surface on your vehicle, such as a bracket or bolt.
5. Start the car with the working battery. Then, after about five minutes, try starting the car with dead battery. Jump-starting the battery should have restored enough charge to get the car to ignite.
6. If you are able to start the car successfully, you can now remove all four of the clamps in the reverse order they were attached. If the engine still fails to turn over, you may need to repeat the process.
7. Run the car for about 15 minutes to give the battery a chance to fully recharge. You may want to drive around for a bit if possible.

How We Can Help

Unfortunately, car batteries don’t last forever. Most of them only have a lifespan of 3-5 years at most. If you have frequent issues with your battery, or if jumpstarting your car doesn’t help, you may need to take your Acura vehicle in for some service.

Visit Acura of Peabody for Battery Service

Acura of Peabody has a dedicated service department that’s always there for you. Our expert technicians are familiar with all types of Acura vehicles, and we’re more than prepared to help with any battery-related issues. Visit us for battery service before it’s too late!
