im going to get my valves adjusted and was wondering if yall have any recommended honda dealerships around the clemson area. im probrally going to change my oil and diff fluid because the honda of columbia (my parents house) wants 80 bucks for oil change and i cant even imagine how much for diff fluid change and valve adjustment. and the fact that the tech dosent realize when a car is lowered and drives the front lip on a curb and scratchs the front and underneath. so any places recommended for valve adjustment and maby oil, and diff fluid change if i dont do it myself. also i would like to get it done either the 18th, or 19th. but it will have to be past 12 on the 18th, becaue i have class. thanks!!!!

 

also wanted to ask, should i change my transmission fluid? car has 44,000 miles on it and i dont know if the transmission or diff fluid has ever been changed, because i bought the car used at 40,000. thanks!!

 

If you can change the oil in the car yourself then changing the transmission fluid and rear diff fluid should be no problem. Here are a couple of DIY.

You can do the valve adjustment yourself but it is much more involved. You can look up on youtube there is a video on how to do it.

Sorry cant help with a stealership.

I've done my own and another buddies. it's not hard, just time consuming. i usually charge 100$ for valve adjustment.

 

i really just wanted to get everything done at a honda dealership so i can have the records. still wondering if theres any reputable dealerships near clemson??

 

not a one

 

You could make a short trip to Atlanta. You can try Gwinnett Place Honda or Honda Carland. I bought my S at Honda Carland and Gwinnett Place is where I get my service done.

Last time I changed the oil it cost around $35. My S only has 22K on it so I haven't really had to worry about major fluid changes. Diff fluid is next Spring.

 

yea. i really wanted something closer. im looking at honda of pedmont. anyone been there?

 

I've been to Piedmont Honda when I lived in Seneca, but only had them do and oil change and transmission fluid change; both times they over tightened the drain and fill bolts.

Honestly, do you really need a valve adjustment?

 

ahh man. thats nerveracking!! i think i do. im at 44K and i dont think they have ever been adjusted. any other places!!
