When I first got my 10k service, the Honda dealer charged me $210 + my own oil. I feel they are ripping me off. I never take my car back to them ever since.

Valve clearance check is in the service manual. They also must check it in order to minimise free play for the vtec mechanism.

So does a lot of other things such as wheel rotation and replacing pollen filter, but how many dealers attend to these?

My dealer does all of it except pollen filter because I replaced my pollen filter already. If they ever tell me to change my clean pollen filter, I know they are trying to rip me off.

Oh, and in addition to wheel rotation, they also balance the wheels.

I just had my 30000 service for $177 including oil and oiling the door seals.

Your dealer must be an exception but I wonder how much they charge you for the service. I had 40k and 50k service by 2 different dealers and none of them changed the pollen filter. As a matter of fact when I question 1 of the dealers about whether the filter needs to be changed he has that dumb look on his face and ask me for the second time what type of filter it is. I didn't make a big deal out of it because they didn't charge me for it but that indicates to me how much priority they give to these type of thing.

Well, the service is $250, but I bring my own oil, so it comes up to $210. At least they didn't change it for you and pop on an additional $80 for it!

Got booked in for $225 at essendon honda in MELBOURNE for 20k service.

Booked 10,000km service at Essendon Honda for $195. Is that good price?

Just book mine for the 10k service.... Price is about 190, probably bringing my own oil, so not sure about the price.

No wash, or addition of any hanky panky stuffs...
