"Inspect" mean put it on the service order to make it look like they did something.

It cost me $48.26 for the 7500 checkup. The dealer did the following things:

Oil & filter change
Check all fluids (including diff & trany)
Check all brakes (placed car on lift removed wheels)
Inspected suspension system (while car was on lift)
Adjust Emergency brake
Inspected Exhaust (while car was on lift)
Inspected all exterior lights
checked tire pressure

Yes, I watch them do all these things personally. My usually oil change charge is $24.34. It was double the usually fee, but it put my mind to ease that the car is in perfect operating conditions.

Now if Honda could only fix the driver side window (automatic down function doesn't work)

So instead of $60 I should ask them for $50 and make sure they do everything they are supposed on top of that?


Anyone else's experience?

My service guy quoted me a cost of $65 plus tax. I laughed when the guy (obviously a novice) said with a straight face that the work included "inspecting the CV boots and rotating the tires!"

ooh! sounds like a deal Palmateer! =D

I'd like to watch him rotate the tires, and then correct him by making him do it the right way - taking each tire off each wheel, rebalancing and remounting correctly!
