And have done every service that the Maintainence Minder tells me to do.

I didnt include it because I think its BS. :)

Valve adjustment prior to 100K is news to me. Got any evidence? I've been wrong before.

I've hit 65,000 i cant find where my local dealer lists the maintenance packages... I need a valve adjustment... the brake fluid could be changed and so can the tranny fluid. Anyone know what a honda dealer 60k or 65k mile maintenance package consists of?

Yikes... belt should be around $15-25 and the replacement itself isn't that hard. Seems a little high the prices you are paying.

You're right, but my time is worth more than 166$ and without tools, the cost of tools and the time spent to purchase them are a waste to me.

And I saw that the belt was a little worn, I mentioned it to them.

They gave me a rental car for the day, and I was back at work making my money. If I had time, I would certainly have done it myself since the car is OUT of warranty.

and I saw that they quoted me on the brake fluid flush and it was about 140$
