I was at the dealership for an oil change. The car has about 93k miles on it. The service consultant said I need the 100k mile tune up next time. The cost of this tune up is $1300 - $1400 and it includes replacing the following: 1) water pump, 2) serpentine belt, 3) coolant flush and 4) spark plugs.

Does this sound right?
Do I really need to change the water pump even if it's not broke ?

Thanks!

YES it's called preventive maintenance. If you don't change the water pump along with the service and it goes bad they have to take everything apart to remove it and you'll just be paying double in the long run.

NO
You have a 4 cylinder that has not timing belt sheesh - frustrating they didn't look up what vehicle you have.
Just follow the maintenance minder codes. Change the spark plugs yourself with OEM plugs.
I wouldn't change out the water pump as preventative, if not leaking.

iHondaGuy..... NDNV is correct. I just noticed that you had a four-cylinder so the timing belt service does not apply to you since you have a timing chain. As for the water pump since you have a 100,000 miles , I would replace it just as a precaution.

Does the coolant need to be flushed?
I never done it on any on my Hondas before and they were absolutely fine.

Follow the maintenance minder codes for coolant replacement as well - typically around 170K kms or 105k miles.
