When i purchased my 03' DC5 Teggy, the logbooks were completely done at a Honda dealer, so i trusted that the car was in perfect mechanical condition.

Its now time for the 60k service and i really cant justify the amount of money Honda wants out of me for it, so im thinking of taking the car to a reputable mechanic (like autoleaders or ultratune) to get the logbook servicing done.

I will save 2/3 and they tell me all materials used will be the same or better.

Whats everyone think on issue? Spend the extra at Honda (eg $500) or go for the cheap option ($150).

Money is kind of an issue, but im sure i can stretch the budget if nessessary.
