What really is the difference between the two?
As far as I can tell from the service schedule, they are almost identical except one extra inspection of belts or something rather.
I got charged $117 including engine oil for my 10,000km service, which I was very happy with. I got my 20,000km service done today and got hit with a massive $217 bill. That's not including engine oil either. If I got engine oil from them, the bill would've come to $250. How do they justify charging extra 130-odd bucks for essentially the same service?

I'm really not happy and feel like I got ripped off because no matter how I think, I certainly can't see where they found the guts to charge extra $130 over 10,000km service.

On top of that, they didn't even replace my master clutch cylinder and pissed me off even more by telling me my warranty will be void if i use non-genuine honda engine oil.

This was at Austral Honda. Had absolutely no gripe with them before this and they really pissed me off this time.

austral just sucks......(previous bad experience with hotshots there) go to northside better service and all round attitude.....btw..wanna know why your 10k service is so cheap compared to 20k? austral for one dont change your filter at 10k where as northside do as well as rotate the wheels and stuff...trust me i checked and they do a bare minimum service, plus they use the cheapest honda oil... my 10k cost 170 with type r oil and filter change and rotation.

Where's northside honda?
It may be a bit too far from where I live.
I might try Southside Honda.

my suggestion, call up all near by dealers and compare prices... you will find noticeable price fluctuations among dealers...
