30K service question
Mine is Honda Civic 2005 VP. Conntacted to local Honda dealer (Central TX).
Still under extended warranty backed up by onda for 120K miles.
Via phone, they informed me that there are more things need to be done (a
long list of things that I could not find from the Honda Maint Book) and the
price is 479.00 to 499.00 + taxes?
Any one has any idea what this dealer gets me into?
Thanks.
P.S.: Oil filter and oil had been changed at its 29K mileage. Can I change
air filter by myself? If so how? :-) I just try my best to save the cost of
maint and whichever taks that I can't do the nI will let the Honda dealer do
them.

Ask them where it is documented either by Honda or by the extended
warranty (HondaCare, I hope?) that these things be done.
The dealer is just trying to get you to spend money.

Re: 30K service question
Here is your scheduled maintenance for either "Normal" or "Severe" operating
conditions
Maintenance Schedule for Normal Conditions (Without CNG)
30,000 miles/ 48,000 km/ ---
Service at the indicated distance or time, whichever comes first. This
Maintenance Schedule outlines the minimum required maintenance. For Canada
models, use the Severe Conditions Maintenance Schedule.
Do the items in parts A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H as required for the
mileage/time interval listed.
NOTE: According to state and federal regulations, failure to do the
maintenance items marked with an asterisk (*) will not void the customer's
emissions warranties. However, Honda recommends that all maintenance
services be done at the recommended intervals to ensure long-term
reliability.
o Replace engine oil, every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or 1 year.
o Engine oil capacity-D17A1 engine without oil filter: 3.0 L (3.2 US qt),
D17A2 and D17A6 engines without oil filter: 3.3 L (3.5 US qt).
o Rotate tires, and check tire inflation and condition, every 10,000 miles
(16,000 km).
o Follow the pattern shown in the Owner's Manual.
o Inspect and adjust drive belts, every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 2 years.
a.. Look for cracks and damage, then check belt deflection by pushing on
it about 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) midway between the pulleys.
b.. Alternator belt: 85-11.0 mm (0.33-0.43 in.)..
c.. P/S pump belt: 130-16.5 mm (0.51-0.65 in.)..

soot in the air from industry and diesel-powered vehicles.
b.. Replace the filter whenever airflow from the heating and
cooling/climate control system is less than normal.

Re: 30K service question
Heh... Since you're considered a "northerner" by us folk down heeyah..
I think you should look to a reputable independent garage. Sounds like
they (the dealer) is out to empty your pocketbook which by the way, is
how they make their real profit (service).

Re: 30K service question
Elmo's right on target here. Ask 'em to prove "it's broken" and if so,
why it ain't covered under warranty...

A familiar story! I took my 06 Accord I4 coupe in for its 15k (Maintenance
Minder) service and the service type presented me with three option running
from $150 to almost $400.00. I pointed out that the $150.00 minimum service
fulfilled the Honda service outlined in the owner's manual wherein they
intimated that it was really was a minimal service. My comment was that I
would stick the the Honda required service. "Gold plating" appears to be a
new dealer initiative.

Re: 30K service question
First of all, thanks to Howard.
Your reply tell me ALL. :-)
This morning, I took the Manual book and warranty book with me to Honda
Dealer and asked them breaking down the price and labor cost which is
required by the Honda required book. The price dropped from 500.00 to 150.00
plus taxes. Then after the service done, I asked them signed and stamped into
my book. They are not happy with my requirement ;-) However, I just do my job.
Thanks you all.

Your reply tell me ALL. :-)
This morning, I took the Manual book and warranty book with me to Honda
Dealer and asked them breaking down the price and labor cost which is
required by the Honda required book. The price dropped from 500.00 to 150.00
plus taxes. Then after the service done, I asked them signed and stamped into
my book. They are not happy with my requirement ;-) However, I just do my job.
Thanks you all.

Honda dealer did this job for me (at least, that was what they charged me for)
However, they did not give me the details as you shown me above.
