That is the 7500 mile service. I was charged $108 for it also. It includes checking all the fluids, and tire pressure "and rotating the tires". Since S owners mostly check the fluids and tire pressure more often than 7500 miles and our tires don't get rotated, we got overcharged for nothing. That is when I decided not to use the dealer for maintanence

Did you ask the dealership why the service was $100 before paying it?

My dealer's oil and filter changes with "fossil oil" are about $24 for my s2k. I just don't understand this.

Thanks,
Richard

You might want to make sure they DIDN'T rotate your tires anyway.

It wouldn't be the first time a dealership rotated the tires on an S2000 (which IMO is a solid reason to never go back to that dealership).

According to Honda's Owner Link, the 7500 mile service on the severe schedule is:

7,500 mi/12,000 km/6 mos Scheduled Maintenance
- Check front and rear brake
- Inspect the tie rod ends, steering gear box, and boots
- Inspect the suspension components
- Inspect the driveshaft boots

This happened to me a couple of months ago when I hit 7500 miles. I think I may have even been charged $120. There was a whole check list of items they did on top of the oil change, but nothing that really had to be done. Basically, if you ask for the 7500 mile service you will be charged $100+, but if you just ask for an oil change it's $25.
