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.
