lizgas asked: We usually go to Hinda to have our servicing done such as oil changes and alignments and things of that nature. we were told that at 60k miles our car needed a major maintenance. so my husband has asked me to look in to this. i am basically souble checking to make sure all this is really needed and its not just honda “suggestions” here is the list.
Oil & Filter Change
Inspect fluids – fill as needed
Inspect accessory belts
Change transmission fluid
Change antifreeze
Complete engine tune – includes:
Replace rotor – Inspect dist. Cap
Replace air element
Set engine to specs
Inspect emission controls
Replace Brake Fluid
Inspect brake lining – front & rear
Inspect brake calipers & wheel cylinders
Adjust rear brakes – inspect bearings
Adjust parking brake
Inspect exhaust system & muffler
Inspect suspension mounting bolts
Inspect steering operation
Rotate tires as needed
Air tires to 30lbs P.S.I.
Check battery – fill as needed
Inspect air conditioning
Road test vehicle
Quality control inspection’
I am sorry I am very skeptical on car manufacturos suggestions. My husband as a VW and many times he has gone in there are gotten a $300-1000 quote on things that in the end he ends up spending $30-250 by purchasing the part himself and having a friend install it.
If you could help me out and give me a list of the things that i really need to do I would really appreciate it. We bought the van in November of 04. They had an oil change and tune up done when we purchased it.
