1st 7.5k mile oil chage
My '03 Accord is getting close to it. Happen to receive a coupon mailer from
my dealer -- $99 for this service! The main thing is really changing oil/filter. The rest is bs like "check fluid level....". Has anyone just told the dealer to do oil change for somethink like $35? Effect on warranty? RM |

All my dealer did for this service is change the oil, check the fluids and
wash the car ($24.95) "RM" <richmak@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:bj6038$mf3$1@sun-news.laserlink.net... > My '03 Accord is getting close to it.

I think this is a message from them to you that you really don't want them servicing your car. Absolutely no effect on the warranty if you skip this. You do need to get the oil changed though. |

The local Honda Dealer charges about $30.00 for a oil and filter change. They also check and replenish all fluids. Check the ads in your local paper or in those coupon clipper things that come with the junk mail. You should be able to find a service station near your home or local mechanic that will give you a much better deal. In my town, they have something called Jiffy Lube that has good deals but many of the employees are high school and college kids that know little or nothing about cars. |
