How much do they usually run at local honda? Do you guys recommend me taking my car there to get it done? I dont really see many stuff that needs to be done for the price they charges..... Opinions and tell me what you guys did, thanks!

 

my car was at 28k when i bought it and i had the previous owner take it to get an early 30k service.. expensive but worth it imo.. s2000's need to be babied

shit nice wheels btw.. i'm feelin your style

 

Do it yourself. It's too simple to pay $200 or more to have done.

Oil and filter change
Tranny fluid change
Rear diff fluid change
Air filter change
Hepa filter change
Check belts, hoses, brakes, etc.
Inspect rods, wheels, tires, etc.
Tighten loose bolts or suspension

 

def have your valves adjusted...recommended to drop the car off in the morning or even better the night before...you'll get a better adjustment when the motor is totally cooled down.....have you ever changed your diff and tranny fluids? if not swap them out yourself... I just use one of those fluids syringes to put the fluids back in very easy..

 

Agree, the three filters (oil, cabin, air) and 9 quarts of oil shouldn't cost about $100 assuming synthetic. I'm not having the valves adjusted because I don't hear any strange noises.

 

 

if it is only $200 that's a darn good price and i might consider it sending it there (if i wanted to risk damage to the car that is....)
but i think it's more like $400

 

Just did the 30km service as recommended. Don't remember exactly what the cost was but somewhere in the $200 range. Been taking my car to the same dealership for years with no problems so I trust them. Just my opinion but for $200 I'd rather let them do it and hit the links or play with my kids with the time I save myself. By the way, I could do the job myself but decided a long time ago I like being the driver only.

You'll have to call your Honda dealer to find out. The Honda dealer here wanted $269 or $289 for that service. So you're better off doing it yourself and saving nearly $200!!

I did it for a friend in less than two hours in my garage for him. All it cost him was the price of the oil, filters, washers, etc. We put in Mobil 1 synthetic oil with Honda OEM filter & washer, Redline MTF & Honda washers, LE607 and Honda washers, Honda Hepa filter, K&N air filter and checked everything else.
