Is $400 the going rate for 30k checkups? I just called two dealerships and go that estimate.

 

Sounds about right, Its about 422 Here in Chattanooga, TN !

OutRageous

 

yep yep. if your not going to keep the car dont take it to the dealer, you can get it done alot less.

 

uhh no, I paid 150 something...

I had the dealer and take out the stuff I didn't need, or the stuff they wanted to much for (the air filter replacement charge was outrageous).

If you need everything on the list, then yeah its gonna cost that much, but I'm sure you can get them to knock off a couple hundred bucks.

 

Damn dude you suck!!!! You're just hitting 30k now??? I have doubled that and then some

 

469 for my 15k service...u thought 30k was bad?

 

Two big items you can save money on 30K maintance, tell you dealer to skip the following:

- Coolant flush (can wait till 45K according to manual) $50
- Brake fluid ($40-50?) can wait till 45K mile

Also, I would do air-filter replacement myself ( save like $20 ).

So you can save like 100, which still make your bill like $300.

I think $300 is worth it, I skiped all the check ups, and will only do major ones at 30, 60, 90 ....

 

Do what Mantis did...don't have them do anything you don't need...I think there is a check list for the 30K

 

im just bout ready for 30k... what are they supposed to do?

im sure most of it is unneccesary.

i wont pay more then $100. heh

 

so pretty much all i need done is

Replace engine oil, filter and drain plug washer with Genuine Acura Parts.
Check/adjust fluid levels.
Inspect belts, hoses, fuel lines and exhaust system.


can you say JIFFY LUBE! heh

 

you were raped. there is no necessary service at 15k. i do my own oil changes etc. so no use for the 30k either.

 

so guys, is it really necessary to go to dealer for 15k service or can wait until 30k?

BTW how's oakland acura service??? b/c will go there for 15k checkups.

 

i'm about due fot 30 K service as well!! I don't think i need all the supspension stuff since they just worked on mine or even tires/ balancing etc. hopefully that'll save some cash.

 

I paid $141.00 for 30K. But I'm sure somebody will advise "You get what you pay for.". I say, bend over cause you're being "*&@$(*@&".. YMMV
