Default Honda Minder Services

2020 Honda Accord Sport 1.5T
8000+ Miles
Maintenance Department sent me a letter saying I need to
Rotate Tires $25
Replace Air Filter and Dust filter $130
Replace transmission fluid Free
Replace Spark Plugs Free
Replace engine coolant $120
Replace Rear Diff Fluid $120

With option B I get trans and spark plugs changed for free only for $140 (inspections, oil change and other components) all the others besides air/dust filters and rotating tires totals out to $400 if I have no lights flashing on the dash do I have to get all that replaced or should I just do the basics? (Oil change, rotate tires , change filters)

Sorry if I dont make sense I just don't want to pay 400 for basic maintenance

At your mileage you should only need an oil change and tire rotation and check filters. Way too early to worry about any of the other items. Also, your accord does not have a rear differential "6" code due to it being front wheel drive.

That's a common practice known as "Creative Profit." My 2021 Accord Touring has 3,000 miles on it & they're already sending me service notices.

You local stealership seems sleazy. Many of those items are 30k mile service intervals and a few are 100k mile intervals. And rear differential fluid is not even something your car has.

You should find another dealership or independent shop.
