I spoke to my mechanic just now, he runs an Only Hondas shop in spartanburg, sc.

when i was looking at the 105k mile service, the only things i cant do myself are the timing belt and water pump change...

he says its going to be $550 for that service...

deal or no deal?

 

wow anyone?...

 

deal.

 

seems resonable to me.
If he's your mechanic dont you trust him?

 

yea i do, but was wondering what everyone else was paying for something similar

 

Good Deal!

 

threadjacking: lost my manual.. sucks. what's 45k service?

 

Good deal.

 

Yea i was thinking that was a pretty straight deal considering the timing belt kit (timing belt and water pump +various little parts) online costs about 150-200 dollars...

 

Sounds like a very good deal to me. If you could, pm me the details of the shop. I'm in the Charleston area and due for this service soon. Thanks.

 

its called only hondas in spartanburg, recently changed name to jim brady honda...he used to work in a dealership for about 20 years or something and knows all about hondas, he has serviced my family's several accord since 1990, the phone number is 8645736659


you have a CLS right? where in charleston? my sister lives down there and i have some friends down there too, we should do a mini meet with dave from myrtle beach

 

Thanks for the details. Ya i have an '01 CLS, pretty much stock. I live in north chuck/goose creek, but i won't be back down there for a couple more weeks. I'll be down there most of Aug and Sept.

 

Thats a very good deal acura wanted 1200 i got it at a loval shop for 750

 

let me know when you come down and we'll check out the cars or somethin, we have 1 or 2 more members around here besides you and me

 

Thanks for posting the info on that shop, I'm in Columbia and will also need timing belt done on my CL-S6 before too terribly long.

 

yeah thats a good price considering acura charges over $1000. my mechanic i get to do all my work says he would do it for $300 whenever i want it done.

 

No problem!

ok...so where the hell are you all coming from?? i've never knew so many of you were close by....i live in columbia, i go to USC, but my house is in spartanburg....

haha where have you all been?!

 

oh yea, only an hour drive for us up to spartanburg

 

damn I need to find a shop like this around St. Louis. A honda dealership quoted me $1,050 and the local Acura quoted me $950...I'm at 108,000 and I'm finding it really hard to not just buy headers

 

Pretty good deal, I had my water pump & timing belt done for $460 (new OEM parts @ local Honda/Acura shop & tuner). Dealerships around here wanted about ~$700.

If you trust them, go for it.

 

deal!
