Servicing a Honda at a Honda Dealership

She is mailing out a copy to me so I'll wait and see what it says. She is also mailing out a photocopy of the mechanic's handwritten report which she says states that he did in fact perform the BMC overhaul. They just didn't type it in with the report I currently have. It still reeks of dodginess, doesn't it...

lmfao @ this thread
dude ur service dept sounds absolutely clueless.
not only is the invoice a mess, they havent explained the work done....and they dont seem to know what they have done themselves!! (-_-)

imo they should do more than just credit your account for n/s. speak to the service manager and explain how pissed off you are at the whole situation. don't be rude or anythign, just politely explain the situation and that you service 2 vehicles with his dept. and see how you go. he may give u a bigger discount or even throw your next service in for free (just a minor service so doesnt cost him much and keeps you happy)

edit: lol at jt actually having time to answer this while working....

i guess the best way is taking out the filter and see what part number is on it, it should have the part number on it.

I just opened it up and had a look. I can't see any part number on it. Only the words "HONDA" and "Filtech" are printed on it. No part number as such. The filter itself looks brand new as it should be, and the element is cyan in color.

alpine, hms... no part number on it?
either way, the more exxy one, is the one for your car unfortunately

For the price of that filter I might as well have gotten a K&N equivalent or something... :/

yeah i know.. pretty fockin stupid, but yeah. at least you got some monies back!

True - but this is not over yet - he has the argument about the 80k service not including BMC overhaul.

very true.

Hmm, maybe I won't get a K&N filter after all! :)

Isn't your car out of warranty though being a 99 model? I wouldn't worry about a K&N filter seizing your engine - that engine seize was caused by something else.

Yeah, she's well out of warranty.

Slightly off topic but what is the difference between P2J and P2F if all EK filters are the same?

You also indicated that VTi and VTi-R uses P2J and GLi uses P2F but I have a GLi Sedan and when i rang a Honda dealership in Sutherland, they indicated that P2J was the air filter that suits my vehicle and therefore a cost of approximately $36.50. I'm confused.
