thank you much...any opinions on it?is it worth doing it at the dealer?

 

Nothing is ever worth doing at the dealer. About a 1/4 of that stuff NEEDS to be done. The rest of it is some tech checking boxes.

its all basic maintanence. i would never pay anyone to do something that i can easily do myself... unless i was super rich.

 

thank you much...the only thing i plan doing at the dealer is the transmission flush because i've read about too many people have there trans go out.maybe the power steering too.cant do anything with a bummed foot

 

i had the dealer do my AT flush. i read about doing it myself, and it seemed to be too of a job while i was taking my semester finals for college

 

nice, thanks for that list.

auto or manual?

 

ok ur right except for the engine and fuel system treatment and the p.s flush im a tech at a honda dealership and honda does not recomend doing those items

 

These civics get spark plugs at 110k with the timing belt.

I work at a dealership. I make sure my customers always get what they pay for. My customers never get ripped off and always get my best ability.

I hate it when bad techs get employed. They ruin the perception that customers have of technicians and shops in general and make it hard for me to earn trust.

 

i'm confident that honda's service men know what they're doing, but the prices they charge are often outrageously high

^^^ this is true, these cars are easy to work on, if you have a few brain cells and a few tools its all DIY stuff. Any questions honda-tech is here to help.

 

so i think i'm going to just get the 90k because i really just want my tranny and power steering flushed and its about 400 just for that and i called showcase and its just about 400 for the full 90k so i figured just to get the whole thing done...good idea???

 

Honda has no service interval for power steering fluid replacment. A typical 90k on these cars is two fluids and three filters plus a comprehensive safety inspection. If you know how cars fail and wear out and you can change some filters and fluids, then you can do all this yourself.

 

i wish man...i ruptured my achilles and cant do ish...
