Honda Service - To Be Or Not To Be

[UGE70Y]

Hey guys,

Just put this thread up to see how many fellas & laddies prefer the HONDA DEALER SERVICE or another.

I have done my 1000k which was free.

10000k which cos me around $250.
Change of oil, Cleaned the car ...... etc

20000k soon to be in 2 weeks time. which will cost me around $280.

I just want to know wether there is a difference between both parties?

Like i can do change oil and all that but the electronic stuff im a bit cluesless on.

Is it worth sticking with HONDA DEALERS for the long run or going to another party to SAVE on money?

Can i get your opinion peeps.

mine is about flat at $180 for FD1, 10k, 20k,30k service
40k jumped to $400 due to tappet adjustment, wiper & air filter change

Mine's similar to DMX's although my 10k,20k,30k were about 220

ive done around 13500.. if i remembered right it was about 215.. i doubt they changed anything.. they cleaned my car tho.. i have a box of fortune cookie in the car... and i think they took one.. =(

when you consider the 10, 20 and 30,000km services are nothing more than an oil change (add oil filter at 20,000) the servicing is way over priced. Save money, buy genuine oil and filters (keep reciepts) and change the oil yourself.

dmx, where did you do your servicing for that price $180.00?

I'll be doing my 10k service soon. Need to get a few quotes from workshops and a few dealerships in Sydney

same here, mine will be in abt 3 weeks. Got quoted $240 at PW and $250 at my dealer RD Thinnking of going to either my family mechanic or Hanny.

[BC8]

yeah my dealer is RD as well

Hanny's I'll recommend, I use to take my DC2 for servicing and mechanical repairs. I'll probably opt for them in the end but wanted a general overview of what most places are charging

after my 20k, the car felt more spritely maybe it's the castrol edge 0-40 oil.
