my car is going to hit 75,xxx so I am planning on doing a major service.

Dont know what to expect, so Id love to get some sort of information before going to Honda.

What does it actually include?

How much are you guys paying for this service?


EDIT: before some people say I should do it myself, I have no space/tools/time (full time student, full time job). Plus, I have no mechanic abilities whatsoever.

 

at my dealer for a major service (oil and filter, air filter, cabin filter, drain tranny and diff fliud, check coolant and brake fluid and a brake check...i may be missing a couple of items) it was $395.00.

 

Try calling a few dealers in your area and get some quotes.

 

This is why I like doing my own maintenance...

oil and filter $30 w/synthetic
air filter $25
cabin filter $20
drain tranny $10
diff fliud $10
check coolant - free, or a few bucks if you need to top off
brake fluid - $5, and you can flush your clutch with the leftover fluid
brake check - free to check, or replace pads for $45-50 per axle

That's about $100 to replace all of the fluids and filters. Even if you needed new brake pads all around, you could still do everything for $200.

 

Where can you get over 5 liters of oil and a filter for $30.00??? My oil alone costs twice that.

 

5 qts of Mobil One is $22 at Walmart. OEM filter purchased online is about $8.

S2Kevint, if you can't do the work yourself, why not have an independant garage do it? It'll be about 1/2 of what a dealer will charge.

 

Too much...honda dealers around here are $100-105/hr for just labor

 

Your buying your oil at the wrong place then.
Yup $22 for a 5 quart jug of mobil 1 synthetic as well as valvoline I think at walmart. \


To the OP do the services yourself or find a local member that can. Dealers will charge you a ton and probably use the wrong fluid for the diff and cause more bad than good.
