(In fact, I buy all the parts from Honda spare parts and let my mechanic service, usually he charge me $15 per service - which is most of the time change all and inspect/adjust. So most minor service costs me $60 in total - $45 parts, $15 labour)
My car just recently serviced 70,000 service, so no problems!
Must remember the log book asks you to change spark plugs every 40K km, but these are Platinum sparkplugs that have a life span of 100K km! And each spark plug costs $40!!!!!!! I cant believe this!
