$64.95 seems a little steep for little more than an oil change. Do they also provide you with a geisha?

Not Bad
Besides the "Service Sound System" BS fee this doesn't seem that bad. I drive about 10-12K a year and the thought of going to the dealer only once a year is VERY appealing. With my 98 Accord (a typical troublefree Honda) I have to go 2-3 times and work in an annual inspection. One visit coninciding with an inspection saves me time and $$$.

Yeah im going to have to say no on the sound system service, but think of it this way even with replacing the air filtration thing and all their other various stuff it only works out to around 12 bucks a month for maintence at dealer prices which isnt horrible.

If the $73.74 charge includes the part(!) it might not be such a bad deal. (If you've ever changed one of these filters on a Honda, you know what I'm talking about! They must have designed the filter and then designed the rest of the car around it.)

10k miles is standard duty. Extreme duty is half that. 2500 miles is probably being a little to conservative. 3500-4000 should be more than adaquite.

yeah, changing at every 2500 is a bit of a waste. even if you drive aggresively... esp when using mobile 1. i'd do it just under 5000 miles.
just outta curiousity, that 34.99 for oil change is conventional oil, right? don't most oil change shops do it for around 25? 35 sounds a bit much, considering i just changed oil on denali, a 6 liter v8, for 31.

I seem to remember someone talking about a "15k mile service." I don't see anything like it on the schedule. Has anyone else heard anything about it?(i'm at about 14.5k

Thanks for providing your service cost. Went to my dealer in NJ. For 10k, they wanted 125! 
Talk about sticker shock. Their list had two more items, inspect brakes and check belts

Our Oil Changes at $26.95 (I think, although I may be off a buck or two) come with a wash too.
No Vac or BJ though. And I always opt out of the wash. They do a shitty job and probly scratch the paint.

$74 for the dust and pollen filter is a joke.
You guys ever taken yours out? I usually give it a blast with the air compressor when I change my oil.
It's seriously cheaper looking than the air filter on the engine. Why is it like 4x the cost?!
