Yeah, when I try for Brown Ivy I usually end up getting something closer to spaghetti.
i read the first post, why would i read the rest?
also, haynes > chiltons... for some things. i have both and where one lacks, the other is strong. chiltons seem to completely suck at electrical for example.
Because if you read it, you would have known I already know about both those manuals. I also know about Honda Service manuals
This is an on topic thread. Could you please keep your comments related to the main point of the thread.
That being said, screw spending 450 bucks for them to check a bunch of things and then inform you you need to fix all of them and it will cost you 5 grand.
We are horrible and standard maintenance (we get the oil changed) and aside from having to buy tires a little sooner then we probably should have needed too, we haven't had any major issues on any cars yet.
Well my questions were answered. I tried to change it to a non on-topic thread, but it didn't work. So they have my permission to spam it as necessary now.
And if I have to pay 5 grand for a car this new to repair, I'm invoking the lemon law.
It's a Honda. It doesn't take $450 to "examine" a Honda at 30,000 miles. Email me some pics and I'll examine that shit for free.
Garages are lame. Mechanics have to make a living, but seriously, fuck off. They probably never even studied in a lab.

well from reading your first post i assumed you knew nothing about cars or anything associated with maintaining them since you thought it'd cost over $400 for the 30k mile checkup.
The price I posted is what they charge. There's no getting around that. However, I don't accept paying that much for this service hence I made the thread.
2nd sentence means I have the know how to do some of this, but don't have everything necessary to be able to do all of it.
I make it known I can do some of the stuff here. And I begin asking what a more reasonable price for the service that is scheduled to be done would be.
That was the original point of this thread was.
I re-iterate that I know how to do most of this stuff in post #5.
I know I sound like an ass with this post, but I do plainly say in this thread, it's not a lack of know how but a lack of resources.
Blame me. Until last May it was my car. When I handed the keys over to him it only had 23K miles on it if that. I had a very small commute to work when I did have it and the few road trips to Chicago and N. Ohio didn't really add much on it I guess.How the hell do you have 30k miles after 6 years?
Our year old CR-V has like 6000 miles and that includs a 1200 mile road trip to NJ and 1000 mile road trip to DC and back. I simply don't drive far because we have everything we need near by (including a store I walk to instead of drive to). Also it doesn't help that I don't work out of the home.. I also was a SAHM during part of my time driving the Civic.
Kind of sad I know
kind of sad?
i'm jealous. i put 15-20k miles a year on my vehicle, and that's about 15k more than i want to.
Just sad in that I don't seem to go very far during the week. Makes me feel like I have no life when I see the mileage on my carskind of sad?
