service B $$?

bluetroll · 04-21-2008, 12:03 PM

hey guys...

how much does Service 'B/B1' cost from the dealer?

***Cr8tive_leo*** · 04-21-2008, 12:10 PM

Too much.

Almost $200.

If you go to the stealership they have a maintenance schedule you can see. It has the reminder code, what it involves, and the cost.

bluetroll · 04-21-2008, 12:29 PM

ouch.. thx man...

i don't need the oil change.... so i'll give my honda technician buddy like 80 bucks to get everything else done.

dbg1234 · 04-21-2008, 01:11 PM

most of the shiet on type b service is "check xxx"...you can do that youself.

bluetroll · 04-21-2008, 02:35 PM

basically just servicing the brakes then eh?

i actually should've did 'B/B1' my last service... so i figured i better get it done on my 3rd service.

I just got mine done and it was only like $112 or somethin - I had a coupon that made it somewhere in the $90-95 range. - Cleo Bay Honda, Killeen, TX

Main Item B/B1

Replace engine oil* and filter.
Rotate tires,** inspect for wear and adjust pressure
Service front and rear brakes.
Inspect parking brake adjustments.
Inspect tie rod ends, steering gear box and boots.
Inspect suspension components.
Inspect driveshaft boots.
Inspect brake hoses and lines (including ABS)
Check all fluid levels, condition of fluids and check for leaks.
Inspect exhaust system.
Inspect fuel lines and connections.

I say just to the bolded red items at the stealership. The rest can be eyeballed by yourself if u know have some knowledge of where to look.

Does this sort of service have to be done at the dealership so as to reset your computer? Or can that be done at other shops?

Check your manual for reseting your service light.

My B1 just came on, my price guide says ~$130 CAD, but that includes an oil change which I get for free so it should be about $90-$100.

Yeah, that's because you are in the States and this is a Canadian subforum. Prices are different in Canada.

bluetroll · 04-21-2008, 05:10 PM

canadians have higher prices because we are more wealthy and can afford to pay higher prices.

galaxygrey13 · 04-21-2008, 05:39 PM

^that is not a nice thing to say. lol

Exactly. And how much wealthier are yall than us if your prices are higher? You might make more but you gotta pay more.

You forgot the ...

I know I cringe everytime I go to Honda for servicing. Who can dole out $100 - $200 every couple of months, with a Mortgage, Car payments, Insurance, loans, food, fuel.

With my Job, the U.S. counterpart would be make 3x more than I, and that's starting. Housing is less expensive in a lot of places in the States too. Food is the same or even more, again depending on the region.

... that wasn't a nice thing to say, way to start a revolution!

Should be...

"service brakes"

pfft

I'm not a Honda technician.. maybe I'm missing something here, but you can spend just as much "servicing" your brakes as buying new rotors and pads once they have worn out and replacing them yourself. Sure you might get the extra few KMs out of the stock pads and rotors if you have them serviced but they suck anyways.. I don't really see the point if you have any inclination to work on/upgrade the components on your car.

bh_ninja · 04-22-2008, 11:26 AM

could you just tell the dealership to change the oil, rotate the tires and nothing else? maybe that could lower the price?

bluetroll · 04-22-2008, 11:49 AM

i rotate my tires myself... i go somewhere else to get my oil changes...

so i just need to get the brakes serviced... so basically, i don't need anything, just go get the oil changed.... WOOT! saving money ftw!
