20k service 2003 crv
Hello;
My 2003 crv is due for its 20k mile maintenance. according to the owners manual it is oil/filter change/tire rotation and inspection of hoses/brakes/etc dealer wants to charge $160 for this. Unfortunely I threw away a flyer from the dealer describing what they do just for an oil change, I had always thought that for the price of an oil change they do the same cursory checks as for 20k mile service. dealer I am going to next week is Los Gatos honda. any comments would be appreciated |

Re: 20k service 2003 crv
$160? For all that I'm willing to pay $40. That's a rip off.

Like you said, not much more is done that your local QuickeeLube joint would do in the 'premium oil change' (beyond rotating the tires). I've even seen an invoice for a 'lifetime (free) oil change' that has almost as much stuff on it. Great little moneymaker for the dealership, in my humble opinion. P.S. If you _do_ go to the dealer, ignore the owner's manual and tell them to change the 'dual pump fluid' in the rear diff. Honest. 20,000 mi is just about right. 'Curly' =============== |

Re: 20k service 2003 crv
Dude, you should find another mechanic or do it yourself. It is not that difficult, anyway. The manual specifically said that you may have the maintenance done by any mechanic or yourself, but you should keep a record and all purchase receipt to support your own record. And this will keep the warranty valid. This is not in fine print, but you have to read between lines. The Honda company does not want to hurt their dealership's feeling, anyway. An upside about dealership is that if there is some "internal secret recalls", the dealership will usually do some "courtesy replacement/repair" for free. Though chance of this on Honda is pretty slim. Honda is too good to have problems like this. -- GusTheCat ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted via RealCarAudio.com - The checkmate of the caraudio community. http://www.RealCarAudio.com GusTheCat's Profile: http://www.realcaraudio.com/forums/m...fo&userid=3684 View this thread: http://www.realcaraudio.com/forums/s...threadid=46644 |
