hey all

just wonderin' if the 7500 mi. maintenance is necessary on the lude. i believe they're just changin' the oil, rotating tires, toppin' off fluids?? any input would be appreciated. is this worth the 80 bucks at the dealership?

thnx.

 

Thats just stuff you can do yourself.....You don't need to take it to the dealership to have it done. They just want your money...

 

what he said.

 

And serviceing the brakes.

 

The only one I did so far is the 30k service, but its 400 friggin dollars! I'm not doing another one till 60k

 

Take a close look at what they do at the dealership and ask yourself what your time is worth. Do they use genuine Honda parts and warranty the work-absolutely. I have my dealer do the things that Honda requires to maintain the warranty and generally that is all the dealer wants to do-very good about cost control. I am quite capable of doing virtually all of the service myself, but prefer to have a tech go over mycars very carefully. Is the 7500 service necessary-you bet it is. Pesonally my cars get oil changes and tire rotation every 3000, but that is my preference.
