I took our 2013 Honda Accord LX 4-door sedan with a 2.4 Liter L4 MPI DOHC 16 in for an oil change and to have the coolant system flushed and refilled. They also washed it for me, which it desperately needed. Total cost was ~$250, and it took around 90 minutes.
I opted to hang out in their nicely redone customer service area. I was able to read a chapter in my current book, as well as sift through some emails. It was also an exercise in being around some other humans for awhile - which is something I probably need to do more of.
The usual list of recommended work is:
- new battery (it's 5 years old, and the price they quoted is actually lower than if I replaced it myself: $168.95 to $209)
- serpentine belt ($183.67)
- brake fluid flush ($189.95)
- transmission service ($299.95)
- fuel injection system cleaning ($199.95)
- engine performance restoration ($79.95)
- spark plugs ($192.71)
- they also noted the cabin air filter and engine air filter should be replaced at next oil change
Geezaroo... that would have been an extra $1,315.13 if I'd had everything done!
I should probably get a new battery, serpentine belt and break fluid flush, but I don't know about the rest. I'd really like to get rid of this car and get something else but... yeah... we'll see.
