I guess the catch will be the water pump, tensioner, seals, and drive belts, if they also need to be replaced.

They won't inspect anything. All they will do is look at and tell you....it still looks fine, just a little dirty.

wish i could get away with making 300 just to replace the belt and turn a blind eye to any other potential issue.

doesnt honda recommend belt and pump be replaced at the same time anyway?

There is way too many "inspections" and not enough "replacements". I paid about $600 at the dealership and that was with a $100 off coupon.

everyone suggests that... except dealer ASE certified mechanics LMFAO

too much work for just one part why not do them all

shop prices are shop prices. ex: 80 and hour for a 4 hour job = 320 etc. they also have book which tells them how long a repair will take and charge u even if they finish in half the time
