120xxxkm service

[JN7]

Hey guys,
called up 2 Honda dealers the other day and I got quoted that the service that will be carried out on my car would be roughly 1.3k to 1.5k. I got told that every 40xxxkm is a major service. Is this correct?

[genghiskhan]

yes every 40,000 is a major

[euromandeluxe]

off topic, but JN7, you have an s2000? I thought you had a euro?

[JN7]

thanks for the confirmation!

euroman, yeah man. we still have it.. my old man is driving it now.
I can see you've upgraded (downgraded? :P) to an s2000 too!

The best way to find out whats a Major and whats a minor is to check your service log book. But yes every 40 is a major on all hondas.

[JN7]

it's been serviced every 10xxxkm.
looks like it has to be carried out then!

vtek; when you said major at 40, what exactly does a major service involve?
i always thought a major service was things like timing belts, water pump etc..
and things like oil changes were carried out every 5/10
ps. i'm a fat newbie, so just asking

[euromandeluxe]

valve clearance adjustment is a big one every 40,000

Blergh, way too much.

Call other dealerships, shouldn't be anymore than about $1000.

[JN7]

really? i'll keep calling then.

[ludecrs]

$1300 would be MAX cost.

I'd seriously expect to pay no more than $1100.

But maybe its different in Sydney than it is in Brisbane?

i'm from melbourne. i'll see how it goes anyway
