what kind of work needs done?

 

I assume they are doing a T-Belt + the service but 530 is alot of money....go find out what they are charging you for? breakdown what they are charging you for then go a different dealer and see what they want to charge for the same service. I did that and found myself going to a overpriced dealership that was charging me much more for the service than other dealers. Also see if the honda dealership will do the service on your gsr they charge was less than acura

HTH

 

all of whatever the manual suggests!! Most of it is check this, check that, bla bla bla. Only thing I can see in there that actually get done is the air filter, spark plugs, and changing out coolant.

and no the timing belt is separate it cost $515, which is a freakin rip off!!

I thought it included the timing belt Anyhow, to give you an idea, my dealer quoted me for $183 for the timing belt (including the belt) The 60k should also include a valve adjustment in addition to all the fluid and minor adjustments. I'm sneaking in my new cams and valve springs with the valve adjustment. Timing belt, cams, valvesprings, and water pump labor is going to run me $462. (Not at the dealer though becuase they wanted to take the head off to do my valve springs)

 

timing belt is not recommended until 90K along w/ water pump
i would definitely go to other dealers and see what they charge.
some things u can do yourself and save money

 

You got ripped.............

 

Ive gotten quotes around $500 as well...thats usually the norm from what Ive experienced!! $183 is a steal!

I would tackle the 60k maintenance myself if I were you...invest $60 in a Helms manual and go to town...nothing should be too difficult.

 

We (dealer) charge around 300$ for a 60k plus around 40$ if a cap and rotor is needed. We do valve adjustment, brake/clutch fluid chg, trans fluid chg, oil chg, check/ adjust brakes, change plugs(not platinum), air filter, fuel filter (if required).
