Default $189 for a b1 service???

that's how much my local dealer, fuller honda in chula vista, wants. isn't this service just an oil change and some inspections? what are you guys paying for this service?

I stopped going to the dealer when they wanted $350 for the 30K service.
Other than an oil change, it included air filter changes. So I did them myself.

Geesh.

I pay $30 for 4 qts. of Mobil 1 0-20, and an oil filter. that is it and about an hour of my time to change the oil and rotate the tires.

It is so simple to do.

I think I paid $65 for the B1 at about 16K miles - although the dealer's service advisor didn't really seem to understand the B1 designation and had to look up "what needs to be done then". I might have only got the oil change and tire rotation not the checks for that price....

That oil filter is really hard to get off that first time around LOL the normal filter wrenches I had wouldn't cut it so i had to buy the civic specific one. No big deal though... took me about 45 minutes to rotate tires and change the oil on my old HCH2... totalled before I made it to the second oil change. Kinda looking forward to the first one on HCH2 #2 which at this pace will be after owning it for a month.

Matt: I live in SD 2. Do you live in the city? I bought my HCH in riverside, so I do not have a local dealer yet. Where do you go? Is it a good dealership?
