Question about 30k mile service?

I am currently at 31k miles and I have yet to do the 30k service. Acura told me it would be $369. I think that is crazy, and im kind of waiting to see my other options. My question is, Is it bad for the car to surpass 30k miles and not get the service done? And is there a way to get it done elsewhere? thanks

No, it will not harm the car. But if something breaks, they may give you a rough time with the warranty.

Go shopping for a better price. I have a great family run Goodyear Tire and they do fantastic work. Something like that or call another dealer.

Our cars have the 100K tune up interval engine, so the amount quoted is overboard.

Could my regular mechanic do this type of work? Would it affect anything with acura?

My 30,000 (at 33,000) was $141.00 (I supplied Mobil 1). It included filters and tranny change. You can have anyone qualified do the maintainence. I would not bypass the oil change and air filter changes, the tranny is up to you (some are changing it at 15,000). YMMV
