Was just wondering about how much people are paying for service. For a simple oil change Honda dealer wanted $200+??? Compared to the states where a dealer will change for $35? Why the big difference :/

i dont kno why the big diff but 200+ is pretty normal at a dealer,

$248 for me at scotts. this was just the basic 6 months service.

Need to find a cheaper dealer.

All it is is oil and filter change,quick inspection of steering,brakes,exhaust etc and quick lap round the block.

just buy urself a KN filter (reuseable) and go to ur local trusted mechanic
shudnt cost more than $100-120 every single time ive done mine.

i dont need a dealer to tell me that my brakes dont need changing after 6 months if u noe what i mean

i wish more of u were in sydney. ive asked all my friends this week, and none of them know a good panel beater sigh

@furythree do you change oil and oil filter on your car yourself or do you bring it to mechanic? Maybe I should look into this and give it a try on my next service. Is there a DIY on this?

Just can't figure out how in the states they can do oil change for so cheap when we "accept" that $200+ is normal at a dealer which is sad
I noticed most of the service are just oil change + filter and inspect inspect inspect that somehow adds so much costs for looking (not even sure they actually look!!)

In regards to a panel beater, I'm located in Sydney but haven't required a panel beater sorry! I've read on here that some people used Hollywood Repairs or something at Lansvale? Also Currans at Auburn too! So just give those guys a look into.

My 09 TSX is TOTALLED...........

As I was going on a freeway on ramp @ 40mph, there was a pick up truck in front of me and all of a sudden I drive over this huge ass rock. It's the most painful sound I've ever heard.

I took the car to a mechanic and he said the gas line is leaking underneath and there's major sub frame damage. FML!

Estimated repairs was $4,000 USD but insurance decided to total it.

I'm so lucky my son wasn't in the car because it could've caught on fire or probably exploded.

imagine running over a rock/boulder that's the size of a soccer ball @ 40mph while being lowered

Was:







Now:

Took 2 hours two dismantle my parts. =(

Left the Tein springs on. I lose out on my tints, a full tank of gas, and my painted grill

BTW, I plasti dipped the upper grill.
