#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.

#4704 of 4911 2004 Accord 135k check up by fbc2009 Jul 14, 2009 (7:04 pm)
I am looking to buy a 2004 Accord 2.4 5A with $135K. What should I check regarding PM done up to this mileage? Replies to this message: elroy5 (Jul 14, 2009 7:30 pm) pat (Jul 15, 2009 3:25 am) fbc2009 (Jul 15, 2009 5:08 pm)

Replying to: fbc2009 (Jul 14, 2009 7:04 pm) Do everything in the manual up to that point 135k, if it hasn't already been done. Especially fluids. That's a lot to do, better get started. Good luck
