What do you think about these prices?
I went to the dealer this week to get some repairs done on my 97 Accord.
Here's what they charged: 4 Michelin Harmony tires: 4x117 = $468 cat converter heat shields: $190 front engine mount: $195 front brake pads and "machine the rotors": $300 adjust rear brakes: $60 They also said changing the timing belt would cost $810, but they didn't have time to do that and the other stuff, so I didn't have it done. I think they said that price would include inspection of the water pump and seals and whatever else is associated with a timing belt change, but probably wouldn't include the replacements for those if they are necessary. I live in a suburb of DC. What do you think of those prices? |

Yes, these prices are normal for a Honda Dealer. One should pay big
bucks to get a Dealership, and most of the money they make are from service. All these prices reflect the hourly rate of Honda service -- which varies from $70/hour to $100, depending on where you live. |

I live in the Philly area and had the timing belt, water pump and
drive belts replaced for about $630 about 2 years ago at a Honda dealer so it seems very high especially since you are not even getting the water pump replaced.

What do you think of those prices? ============================== No comment . . I can't type with smoke coming out my ears . . . Run away from that dealer, if your bum doesn't hurt too much to run.
