Getting my 30k tune-up Wednesday. I'm only asking them to change the oil, and the dust filter.

How much should I look for the dealer to charge me to change the dust/pollen filter?

 

Way too much, do it yourself. Its not hard, there are detailed posts on this site.

And when I take things apart I always have screws left over or it does open or close back correctly. I thought I'd save myself the headache and take it in.

 

I'll do it for free, although here in south florida... It is not hard at all... the hardest part for me was deciding and reasuring myself that I had to CUT the plastic (which you do as per HONDA design) for about three hours. Other than that, the whole process is about oh.... say a full half hour ('cause it was the first time). Search for the DYI on the micron filter (cabin filter) and follow them to a tee...

 

Thanks Stiletto

 

Costed me $200 at my local Acura dealership and it took them 30 minutes to replace. I feel cheated.

 

200 just to replace the filter?? you most definitely were cheated.

 

Wow, If I remember correctly the replacement filters are $40 or less; so that's $160 for labor and tax! (2.5 hrs of labor!!!)

 

Tiffany your right, a pretty girl like you doesn't need to get her hands dirty, definitely pass the job on to whomevers willing to help you out.

 

Cubanmix, your freakin me out!

Stiletto where do you live? I might just ask Velocity Resources to change it for me while their putting my supercharger in. Maybe they'll give me a deal or add a little more to the install price.

 

Sorry bout that, don't mean to scare you or anything, I'm the kid in tally with the silver tl and the busted rims.

 

Oh, o.k what up man?! Long time no see! You changed your sign on?

 

No I haven't changed it I don't ever post thats all, before you put your supercharger on you should get it chromed, I saw one from a guy whos sellin his TL, heres the website of his car http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/390577/1, oh and btw where do you play ball at, I need to start playin Ive been gettin outta shape.

 

Man, I'm loving the chrome blower! OH MY GOSH I've got to call VR and see if they have anyone near by that can polish it for me, that is beatiful. Thanks!!!!!!!!!! I play ball on Tuesday, Thursday and Fridays at 5p.m. at Woodville Park. Take Monroe street all the way past the fair grounds, cross over capital circle and go about 6 miles. You'll see a sign on the right hand side. PM me for the cell digits and I can meet you and show you where.

Hey, you are too young to be out of shape!

 

A first time change should take about 20 minutes. since you need to snip that little piece out. We charge a half hours labor to change. Meet up with me TLS lady..Ill do it for nothing. ~. Hehe. I had to say it.

 

Hahaha, too young to be outta shape ay. I mean I haven't done anything for about a year, but even though I may be a young'n to you, I caught the message when I was out of breath from running up to the top of one of the parking garages. Oh and get on that polishing cuz thats the hotness.

 

Racinghart03, you are a nut!

Cubanmix, thanks, I'm looking into for sure. Thanks a lot.

 

TS Lady,
Is Barnacle Bills on North Monroe still there :-) I still remember the goofy commercials on the radio for that place! I graduated from FSU in 1990 and have not been back to Tally since. One of these days I have to make it down there. I hear the campus has changed a lot.

Axe out.

 

Yes, I too remember that retarded advertising slogan. But as you can see it works because I still can't forget it. It is still there, we go there every now and then to karaoke. And oh boy has FSU campus changed. I remember taking a field trip there in middle school. Then eight years later going there to attend school and couldn't believe the change. I love that place that, great memories. You've gotta go back and visit your old stomping grounds.

 

one day I will. Just cant justify the trek from Northern VA to Tally to remember the days :-)
I had a lot of fun at school there...even married a girl that I met there so FSU was good to me!

Thanks for the reply. Brought a smile to my face :-)

catcha later
