I'm getting my power steering hose replaced at a Honda dealer right now - and as I was due for minor service (I had the 80K major service done just 6 months/5K ago), I decided to get that done while it was in there.
They've just called and said that while they will change the hose for free (they said it was normally $1000, a bit more than I've seen in previous posts here?!?), they need to drain and replace the power steering fluid as it has become dis-coloured, and quoted me $140 for this as it was not covered by the recall, which at the time I agreed to.
Does this sound right - given that I had a major service only 5K ago? Is it possible the dis-colouration is due to a faulty hose??
On top of this I was told that I should get new wipers ($65 - I've heard other people get wipers replaced for free) and a fuel injection cleaning ($115)
Does it sound liked I'm being fleeced?? Should any of these have been covered under the recent major service?
The dealer I went to has been rated highly here so I'd be disappointed if they are taking advantage of me.
