30 K mile service
I am inching ever closer. Right now at 24,000 and change. So I wanted to see if anyone has done theirs yet and how much it was. From what I see they dont do a whole lot, but I am sure they will charge a whole lot.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

I'll take a wild stab in the dark and say $300. I plan on going to an independant shop that works only on Hondas/Acuras. Their prices are typically 40% cheaper. I know for my Civics, the 30K service was $305. I paid $180 at my independant which, quite frankly, I trust MORE than a dealer.

It's the most expensive one of the bunch. I think Goldy is right. It's upwards of $300 but it's the most extensive as well. This one includes the tranny flush.

I had a quote from Portland for $500-550 for
the 30K service (I'm going to be in that area next week). That is a ridicules price as far as I am concerned.

You know a tranny flush is just them pouring a quart of ATF through the tranny! Remember, we don't have filter kits which would be much better for transmission.
Is there anything else in the 30K? I know the basics...like lube the chassis...change fluids...blah blah...but I heard that they do a valve adjustment too??? Is this true??
