#4696 of 4911 Maintenance Question/Adivce at 22K miles Accord 2007 by garrick Jul 06, 2009 (9:32 am)
2007 4 cyl Accord will be 2 yrs old August 09. Need to bring it in for service now with 22K miles. Maintenance Minder is showing "B" which if I read the manual correctly shows the following suggested:   Replace engine oil and oil filter Inspect front and rear brakes Check parking brake adjustment Inspect these items: Tie rod ends, steering gear box, and boots Suspension components Driveshaft boots Brake hoses and lines (including ABS) All fluid levels and condition of fluids Exhaust system Fuel lines and connections   Dealer obviously suggests a lot more service for about $300 such as rotate tires, roadforce balancing, air filter, inspect distributor cap, clean injectors, 40 point service inspection and others.   What should I do at 22K miles if I plan on keeping this car for the long haul?

Replying to: garrick (Jul 06, 2009 9:32 am) All the maintenance items you listed sound like good ideas, except for two. If the car has no hint of vibration in the steering wheel at speed or other vibrations, I would decline the roadforce balancing. The balance will only be as good as the guy operating the machine. If the balance machine is subpar, or the operator is inexperienced, you could end up with a problem you didn't have before. Second, I don't think your car has a distributor cap.
#4698 of 4911 Anyone know of an affordable dealer to do brakes in DC area? by roachbugg Jul 07, 2009 (6:14 pm)
Hello board,   I am writing this note because I need rear brakes- and rotors on an Accord EX V6.   My normally reliable dealer is charging $420.00 for brakes and rotors. I think that is robbery....   Anyone know of a dealer that can do the work cheaper?   Does anyone know of any coupons I can find for this service? I have looked everywhere....   If so, please let me know...   thanks a lot... any insight helps!

Replying to: roachbugg (Jul 07, 2009 6:14 pm) Is there a reason you're going to the dealer? Replies to this message: roachbugg (Jul 07, 2009 8:02 pm) thegraduate (Jul 07, 2009 8:16 pm)

Replying to: thegraduate (Jul 07, 2009 7:09 pm) I don't know where else to go. Haven't had to replace these brakes before. Wanted to know where the other users/car owners went. The dealer told me that I need rotors and brakes in the rear of my car. They want to charge $210 for each. That sounds like a lot to me. Has anyone used Midas or Meineke? Any suggestions?   thanks Replies to this message: thegraduate (Jul 07, 2009 8:16 pm)

Replying to: roachbugg (Jul 07, 2009 8:02 pm) My suggestion would be to talk to people you know; friends, family, coworkers, people at your place of worship, etc and find out if they know a good reputable mechanic. I go to the mechanic my grandfather uses; just had my timing belt and water pump done on my '96 Accord for $478. The dealer wanted $820.   Get a few opinions/estimates before you have it done. The worst they can do is give you the same answer/price, which I would wager won't happen.

Replying to: roachbugg (Jul 07, 2009 6:14 pm) Check the net for dealer brake specials in your area then give your dealer a chance to match the price.

Replying to: roachbugg (Jul 07, 2009 6:14 pm) that price is on the high end but I would not call it "robbery" ... "affordable" and "dealer" rarely go together.   I can recommend RPM in Newington, VA, who have taken care of my cars for the past 15 yrs. or so. They are not the cheapest but are reliable and honest and they don't do unnecessary work.   If you call they can tell you what they'd charge for this work 703.550.8240.   I have no connection with them other than being a long time customer.
