Approx cost of 90k service

[m0nk3y]

got my DC5 up for service soon, its the 90k service

how much should i be expecting to pay?

[Zilli]

mate your best bet is to call the place where you are going to get it serviced, they are really the only ones that can help you...

[m0nk3y]

you're right, but the best idea i can get is from people who have already done the service - how would i know if the service place would be giving me an extorted price

monkey, give me a call later tonight. ive got details of a few good reliable mechanics you can check out.

[TypeS]

The best idea you'll get is, from reading the logbook. It'll say exactly what needs to be done.

Having said that, for a Type S, it was around the $230 mark from Honda.

Because you ring several mechanics. If a couple are $200 and one is $500 you know something is wrong.

Most Honda dealerships are expensive once the car is outside of warrenty (Well this is what I have found in Brisbane). Your best bet is to find a mechanic in your area (Doing a search would be a good start) that specialises in Hondas, and using them on a regular basis.

Where did you end up going and what did it cost? Got a dc5r @ 91k, so looking for a place in west or north asap

[WATAJK]

I got mine coming up to it's 120k
I refuse to use Eastern Honda. I have my reasons and will not flame them here.
I use Essendon Honda in Essendon Fields and actually find them quite useful and helpful to customers and also when there is a problem after the service, there more then happy to check over there work.

well whats involved with a 90k service? id imagine it would just be oil+filter?

Correct. It's just a minor...
I'd say it would be anywhere from 170-240.. i wouldn't pay anymore then that at a dealership.

[Lukey]

i used to get oil+filter done on my car for less than $100

[integragsi96]

i used to get oil+filter done on my car for less than $100

i used to get major services on mine for less than $300 until i moved to qld
helps to know people in that area...

[r3ckless]

90k is not a major sertvice,m its just oil change

[asshat]

try carservice.com.au and click on 'service price guide' at the top

[1900-hustler]

90k is a minor service as others have mentioned..

even at a dealer id be suprised if they charged you more than $200...

and if you supply your own oil and filter - you are just paying for labour which is $60-$80 per hour..

was told by honda essendon that it would cost $250 and another $500 for the timnig belt which should be changed every 5 years.

[alzteg]

They are all chain. K20 has never had a belt.

[alzteg]

cool next one is 100k so will definatly need a discount... only thing is this DC5R doesn't get ridden much it only did 2000km in the last year, so may be a while.
It cost about $200, took less than 1.5 hours and everything was good. Only thing is she forget to get the log book stamped, might have to send her back there.
I've dealt with a William in spare parts before if thats your mate.

[Super-DA9]

You can always save some cash and earn some knowledge by doing it yourself? DIY FTW IMO ;)

Unless doing that will void your warranty or something..?

[Lukey]

diying is good but stamped log book is always a good sales thing to have
