Hi guys. I am being quoted 586.74 by a Honda dealer in Victoria. Seems a bit excessive to me. Is that normal? It's for a 100k service.

Hi nsfx84,
Not sure where you are in Vic, but ABS is currently doing a special. $29 for a safety inspection and one year of national roadside assist, or $39 for a full major service and one year of nationwide roadside assist.
There are 12 locations participating in this deal.

If not, try ringing around, most local garages are properly licensed, but make sure you check that they can do it by the Honda book, and can stamp your log book.
Here's a good servicing cost guide for most cars:

Good luck mate.
