Auto-work ripoff?
 
Being done to a '92 Honda accord @ a Honda dealerThe run down...1 Cap, 1 Rotor, 4 spark plugs, replace valve cover gasket, adjust idle, clean throttle body, plug seals, 4 wheel alignment, 4 wheel balance and rotation of tires....plus the diagnostics ...grand total of about $700.00 parts and labors.

$700.00 for all that is not a rip off. Cars cost money to maintain, And technicians put a whole lot of time to keep up with technology and they spend a huge amount of money on tools, So when you have a skill it costs money to put that skill to work for you. Try and do it yourself next time and see if its worth it to have a pro. do your work.

Remind me to never buy a Honda!On this year car I would think adjusting the idle would not be needed. As for cleaning the throttle body, I hope they used the right thing, if not you will need a throttle control valve soon. The major part of the bill must have been the diagnostics. For that price you could have bought a program and interface to diagnose it yourself.Did they see you coming or what?
