Louisville’s Most Trusted Acura Repair Specialists

For over 25 years, Hopson Import Repair has built a reputation as Louisville’s go-to Acura service center. Our technicians receive continuous training on the latest Acura technologies and repair techniques, ensuring your vehicle receives the most current and effective service possible.

What makes our Acura service different:

• Transparent pricing with detailed explanations of all recommended repairs

We believe in complete transparency throughout the repair process. Before performing any work, we provide comprehensive explanations of the issue, the recommended repair approach, and exactly what the service entails. Our technicians take the time to educate you about your vehicle, empowering you to make informed decisions about its care.

• No-pressure service recommendations prioritized by urgency and safety

Unlike facilities that push for maximum service during every visit, we categorize our recommendations by urgency. Safety-critical issues are clearly identified as requiring immediate attention, while maintenance items that can wait are presented as future considerations. This honest approach builds trust and allows you to plan your vehicle maintenance according to your schedule and budget.

• Comprehensive digital inspection reports with photos of any issues found

Visual evidence provides peace of mind. With every service, we document our findings through detailed digital reports that include photographs of any issues discovered during inspection. These reports are shared with you directly, allowing you to see exactly what we see and understand why specific repairs are recommended.

• Loaner vehicles available so your life doesn’t stop when your car needs service

We understand that being without your vehicle creates significant disruption to your daily routine. That’s why we offer convenient loaner vehicles for major repairs, ensuring you can maintain your normal schedule while your Acura receives the attention it needs.

• Transmission service and repair including complex automatic transmissions

Acura’s advanced transmissions—whether the 10-speed automatic in newer models, the SportShift sequential manual, or the Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system—require specialized knowledge to service properly. Our technicians are trained in the proper fluid exchange procedures, clutch pack replacements, and electronic control diagnostics that keep these sophisticated systems operating at peak performance.

From the standard braking systems on the ILX to the performance-oriented Brembo systems on the Type S models, we provide complete brake service tailored to your specific Acura. This includes pad replacements, rotor machining or replacement, caliper rebuilding, and brake fluid flushes using the exact fluid specifications recommended by Acura.

• Electrical system troubleshooting for those mysterious intermittent issues

Modern Acuras feature complex electrical systems with dozens of interconnected modules. Our electrical specialists utilize advanced diagnostic equipment to trace elusive electrical gremlins, from intermittent starting issues to navigation system glitches, climate control malfunctions to adaptive cruise control calibration.

• Factory-scheduled maintenance that maintains your warranty and resale value

We follow Acura’s prescribed maintenance schedules to the letter, ensuring your vehicle receives exactly the service it needs at the intervals specified by the manufacturer. This includes oil changes with the correct weight and specification, transmission services, cooling system maintenance, and all inspection points outlined in your owner’s manual.

Our technicians are particularly experienced with MDX-specific issues like timing belt service, transmission fluid exchange procedures, and rear differential service that many shops overlook.

Acura’s popular compact SUV features a turbocharged engine that requires specific maintenance protocols. Our RDX services include proper turbocharger care, specialized intake valve cleaning to prevent carbon buildup, and calibration of its advanced AWD system for optimal performance in all conditions.

For the fortunate few who own Acura’s halo supercar, we offer specialized maintenance for its hybrid powertrain, carbon ceramic brakes, and advanced aerodynamic systems. Our NSX service follows the exacting standards required by this world-class performance vehicle.

Common Issues Across Acura Models

While Acuras are known for their reliability, certain issues tend to appear across multiple models. Our specialized knowledge allows us to quickly identify and address these common concerns:

Transmission Concerns

Many Acuras from the early 2000s experienced transmission issues, particularly in the TL, CL, and MDX models. We’ve developed specific rebuild protocols that address the original design weaknesses, resulting in transmissions that often outlast the originals.

VTEC System Problems

The Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) system can develop issues with its solenoids and pressure switches. Our technicians can quickly diagnose these problems through specialized testing procedures, often saving you from more expensive repairs.

Navigation and Electronics Issues

Acura’s infotainment and navigation systems sometimes experience software glitches or hardware failures. We offer system resets, software updates, and component replacement when necessary to restore full functionality.

SH-AWD System Maintenance

The Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system requires specialized fluid and service procedures that many shops aren’t familiar with. Our technicians understand the proper maintenance intervals and techniques to keep this sophisticated system operating correctly.

Timing Belt and Chain Service

Different Acura models utilize either timing belts or chains, each with specific replacement intervals and procedures. We maintain detailed records of these requirements for every model and year, ensuring this critical service is performed at the appropriate time.

Each service begins with our signature 27-point inspection, ensuring we catch small issues before they become expensive problems. We’ll provide clear documentation of our findings, prioritize recommendations based on safety and urgency, and never pressure you into unnecessary services.
