Just had a B1 service warning pop up. Isn't this a bit soon? Can I just get the oil changed - it's inline with a 2nd oil change.

 

if you read the owners manual, it out lines what an A service and what a B Service entails.

B Service entails; oil and filter change, inspection of front and rear brakes, parking brake inspection, tie rod ends, steering gearbox, and boots inspection, Inspect suspension components,Inspect driveshaft boots Inspect brake hoses and lines (including ABS/VSA)
Inspect all fluid levels and condition of fluids
Inspect exhaust system
Inspect fuel lines and connections.




They are purely inspections, or to see if they need service, doesnt necessarily mean you need those components replaced.

Remember, its a machine that has moving wearing parts.
an inspection can nip a problem in the bud if caught early enough, that's why we have inspections.

short answer: just get your oil changed.

 

Dealer now don't check your car, they just check on paper as done. Not all of them, but most of them do so. But I still go to them anyway

 

I'm very skeptical, but I would never make such a blanket statement. I've actually found Acura/Honda dealers to be far more honest than most other dealers. I've had BMW, VW and Audi dealers try to cheat me.

Bored? Read about here and here.Finally here.

The bottom line? The GM got moved to a Kia dealership, the service manager got canned and I think the service writer (his name really is Beaver Ho) quit.
