#4700 of 4914 Re: Anyone know of an affordable dealer to do brakes in DC area? [thegraduate] by roachbugg Jul 07, 2009 (8:02 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) 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.

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

Replying to: fbc2009 (Jul 14, 2009 7:04 pm) You can look up the required maintenance here: Maintenance Schedules, Recalls and Technical Service Bulletins. Good luck! Replies to this message: fbc2009 (Jul 15, 2009 5:08 pm)

Replying to: fendertweed (Jul 09, 2009 5:42 am) I just called RPM and, don't take this the wrong way, but they were very cold to me. My conversation with RPM:   Me: Your Website says that you service Porsche and Audi cars... do you also service Hondas?   RPM: We sometimes service Hondas but usually only if our customer already services a Porsche with us. Do you have a Porsche?   Me: No, but RPM was referred on a car Web site and that person drives a Honda.   RPM: Does that customer also drive a Porsche? We're very busy with Porsches and Audis and we try to keep quiet about servicing other cars. We wouldn't want to lose that customer so yes, how about we talk about what services you need for your Honda and we'll see if we can help you. It's late today and it's the worst time for a call so why don't I call you - wait, how about you call me tomorrow at 11 am, does that sound good to you?   Me: Um, sure, thanks.   Sheesh. I doubt I'll be over there any time soon! Let's hope my experience was an isolated incident... Replies to this message: elroy5 (Jul 16, 2009 1:14 pm) accord6mt (Jul 16, 2009 1:27 pm)

Replying to: accord6mt (Jul 16, 2009 1:05 pm) Honda brakes are nothing special, and not hard to work on. So why would a special place be needed for this? Unless you plan to change some things (upgrade). What are you going to have done? Replies to this message: accord6mt (Jul 16, 2009 1:27 pm)
