its true.. my 96 lx 4 door had a problem from the factory for the emissions.. they made a deal with the epa stating that if your car falls under the correct vin numbers you will get a free tune-up!!! i think its only if your car has over 75,000 miles

im going for mine on monday..

plugs, wires, fuel filter, distributor cap, rotor, and oil change..

go to any honda dealer and go to the service department and give the service advisor your VIN# and tell him to run it for any warranty or recalls.. you just might get a free tune-up!!!

your welcome

later

 

eh?

 

its only for some civics not all of them.. mine has the y7 motor in it.. so i guess it would only be for y7's made in the same production time as mine was.. maybe its for more then just y7's go to the dealer and find out...

its because of some deal HONDA made with the EPA.. this is what the guy at the honda dealer told me.

 

there's already a post about this, its a free 40pt inspection

 

Would they touch my 99 y7 block with a 00 y8 head?

40 point inspection and a free TUNE-UP because of an emissions defect in the manufacturing of some civics is not the same thing.

40 point inspection is cool to but a free tune-up is better!

 

All 96-97 Honda/Acura makes have this (except SLX and Passport) above 75K miles and below 150K. If your check engine light comes and it's caused by an emissions controlled device it'll be covered under the warranty extension up to 150K miles.

 

just got mine done today.. though i didnt have a check engine light like the post above this one..

they replaced the plug wires, distributor cap, rotor. i told them not to change my oil or my plugs but they change those if you want..

 

<FONT COLOR="green">Nice Im going to have to check that out for sure</FONT>

 

yeah, we did one today, basically you get a free cap/rotor/spark plugs and wires on 96 and 97 civics.

the government thought that the odb2 system wasnt good enough, thought honda was trying to keep customers from comming in and getting warrenty work, so they made honda extend the warrenty's for 10 years or 150k on 96 and 97 civics only, so if your car hasnt gotten the "mini-tune-up" its free

 

ay so it works? in cali too? any 96-97 civics or just 4 doors?

 

so this is only for 96-97 hondas? not 92-95???

 

just took my g/f's 96 lx in last week w/ a cracked exhaust manifold and they did a full tune up and oil change on it too all under warranty

 

i have 171,xxx on my 96. I wonder if they hook me up?!..

Does it matter if your not the original owner of the car?? that may be a dumb question but i wasent sure, thanks. I have a 97 dx that wont pass emissions and my check engine light is on. thanks for the info.

 

would they check a 00 civic ex coupe??????? if so? does mileage matter? i got bout 64k right now, and yeah does orginal owner matter?

 

yea im not the first owner of my car either....so can i do it too?

No, just 96-97 Honda & Acuras (excluding Passport). The ODB-2 system (first implemented in 1996) was faulty in the eyes of the EPA so Honda is required to fix it.

From what I recall Honda will perform whatever work is necessary to make the car pass emissions through the extended warranty period (10 years, 150K miles). This free tuneup thing is news to me.

I very much doubt if you have to be the original owner, same as with any other kind of recall.

For all of you asking if your car falls under the category to recieve the free tune-up, READ THIS. It's called READING a thread.

 

i wonder if they would give me a new cap and rotor if i have a b16 in my 96 coupe. Has anyone gone there with a swapped motor?

 

good ****, ima go see if this is true tomorrow

 

has ne one give there yet??? cuz i dont wanna go there and they wont check ne thing

 

bump....anybody do this yet??

 

bump!! when does this offer expire and are there any catches to it????
