Hi all,
My 87,500 service is due soon and have rang a few Honda dealers up in London. Got some reasonable prices and some silly ones. Want to keep the Full Honda History going and am a tool in regards to DIY service. :lol:
I called up the last Honda dealer to see what was done on the car on the last service at 75,000. Seems a lot was done. Transmission fluid, engine oil, FILTERS CHANGED: oil, air, fuel, pollen. Brake pads, new tyres etc. So it doesn't require too much to be done
The cheapest quote I got was from Southall Honda for £175, but will charge me extra £25 to use 5w/30 grade oil (BUMP! and from what I read is the wrong one) so total was roughly £200 inc VAT, parts, labour.
Enfield Honda could do the service for £199 inc VAT etc. but use correct grade.
I decided to ring Chiswick Honda, where the car was originally purchased. They could not beat that quote but however the dude said they have a Level 1 service for £149 inc VAT etc. This consisted of chaning engine oil, oil filter and air filter I think. With this they will do other checks which did not really get me excited. I will ask the guy to e-mail me over what will be covered in this service and post it later.
Would be grateful if anyone can share their wisdom and advice.
Thanks
