[QUOTE=wyl03]if u check out other threads in this forum, u'll find that the honda oil is held in high regards by many. not cheap too.

zimp13 - what do you not like about the oil?

Not that i dont like honda oil... how many people that you know uses honda oil compared with the aftermarket fully synthetic oil? Secondly, there is just not enough info of honda oil i guess. Even those that works at Honda dont really know much about the oil. Finally, i always think that car manufacturers concentrate on manufacturing better cars rather than investing in R&D on their oils. I believe that most car manufacturer's oil are mineral based oil as well. :D

I agree the dealers are making at least 50% profit by doing the service, but when it comes to re-sale value, Dealer stamp is worth alot more than Ultra tune.... :)

MRFIT, I dont really agree with u that with dealer stamp your resale value is better. I have been here long enough to know the market. Once u try to sell ur car, no one will say "u service at honda, pay u more". Trust me on this one, i have sold quite a few cars here. Plus lets say u are rite, u service at honda and get better resale value. How much more? 2K?3K? think the money u spend with honda, easily that amount anyway. For warranty sake, yes, $%$%^&^$# no choice. But as for now, my last 2 new cars, never went to the dealer. Anyway, i kept them for 2-3 years and sell, condition still good, got stamped from different service provider, spent the money on modifying the cars rather than contributing to the dealer, the buyers also happy to see the mods on the car. In Australia, really not worth, car is cheap, but resale value is not good. Nothing anyone can do to change that. :p OOPPss.. talk too much..... :D

so I guess not all services are cheaper in one dealer...... really have to ask around each time around..... cos for my 20,000km service, the quotes were:

Garry and Warren Smith: $279
Courtney and Patterson: $215
Easter Honda Doncaster: $235

Courtney and Patterson is still among the cheapest for both 20k and 30k services....Are they good? Has anyone been there for services yet? Please tell me. I may go there next time. Do they open on Saturday??

well, Courtney and Patterson has just had their brand new service department openned up..... the place is huge and very clean..... the price is good, and they can drop you off within a reasonable range.... I personally like it, especially because I live about 5 minutes away..... :)

But Eastern Honda washes and vacummes your car..... :)

a touch cheaper than us.... but we do a better job :p
all dealers will vary slightly in what they include for the service, most would have extras they do that are not in the book
