Took my car in for a timing belt / water pump, tech said (after taking current timing belt off) that it looks ok - BUT I really need to replace that front right lower ball joint. They wanted me to pay to put the belt back together (not changing it) and pay 400 to replace lower front ball joints. That Sheila? (...

The service was so great at my local shop that I just had to share my experience. A little bit a background on me, I bought an 03' Accord USED with 72,000 from a private party. Thus far this dealership has worked with me to replace my radio for free and give me free parts on the headliner replacement from the...

Hey everyone, so i got into my first accident the other day and am now looking for body shops to take the car to. i was heading to work when this lady decided to cross the road without looking... all i could do was slam on the brakes and by the time abs kicked it it was too late. :| damage looks worse then it is i t...

It has been years that the engine on my 91 Accord vibrates. It worst during reverse. The vibration is tolerable but annoying. Anyone has a fix?

Unice · Unice

does anyone know if when u take your accord in for service, if the Honda dealership resets your ecu? thanks. just wondering because i have to take mine in for service.

Corina · Corina

Hello All, I am a new member as well as a new owner of a 2dr 5speed 2002 Honda Accord LX with about 92XXX miles. I bought this car from a private seller with the hood, left head light, front bumper, and radiator support damaged. It is also in dire need of a paint job. This is my first car so I am all new to this. An...

If it is indeed a rate buydown, you can go after the dealer for false advertising, because that's not what the flyer says. It simply states that they will finance up to $15K at 0% for qualified buyers; What you actually pay for the vehicle above and beyond that is entirely up to you to negotiate. If I were b...

Spencer · Spencer

I'd like to see the contract. Sounds like a rate buydown. If it is and you don't keep the car for the full term of the loan for whatever reason (sold it, had it stolen, totaled...) you would have been better off to have gotten the contribution amount needed for the buydown taken off the price of the car in th...

For those who have decided to pass on the 8th gen, looks like the deals are already starting to come in on the current models. This one is from a dealer in the SF Bay Area.... (I covered the dealer's name because I'm not sure if I'd be violating forum rules by showing it). Just wanted to share the info.

Kaden · Kaden

I get mine serviced at Klein Honda in Everett. They've always been pretty good to us. But that could very well be due to our 30+ years of going there and being friends with the owner. As my mom put it the other day, they have been very accomodating to me. Today I'm taking the Accord in and leaving it there. I c...

Mable · Mable

I pretty much do all the regualr stuff - Oil Change, tire rotate, air and fuel filter. I will bring the car to the dealer for: Trans, coolant & Brake flush. Trans at 25k and coolant & brake at 50k. And that pretty much takes care of the big serviceable items. I am not into paying $300 so they can chec...

Twyla · Twyla

I think that the question of where to service your car comes down to the place that treats you AND your car right, uses honda quality, or better parts, and ofcourse, has reasonable prices. We use a Honda mechanic for most things, and we took the Accord to the dealer for the 90k mile service. I will be using...

Norma · Norma

for the one major reason if you ever need to get assitance from honda for a major problem a loyal service record with a dealer u feel good aboout is the easiest way to make sure you and your honda are fixed right and both honda and the dealer stand behind the product you love

Kitty · Kitty

Royston · Royston

i say avoid taking your car to the dealer unless absolutely necessary. i think the problem is that honda sells and services so many cars that they dont care about the quality of the service. in my case, i had taken my 04 coupe to penske honda in ontario,ca (the same place i bought it 2 weeks before) to get th...

Carrie · Carrie

He must have a deal going on with a dealer. I don't think Honda will sell directly to another shop. Some dealers will sell their parts to an independent shop at cost or barely above if they don't think it'll really effect their business. A dealer here lost their good graces with Honda several years back &...

Make sure you fill out the card that Honda should be sending you! When dealers act like that Honda Corp. should know about it. They can't unless you tell them! They need a customer saticfaction thing to fill out right in front of the service writer. Then they can know first hand what the problem is with th...

I thought I would give the dealer a try for regular maintenance on my New Accord, besides they gave me free oil and filter changes for the life of the car (every 7,500 miles) when I purchased it!

Kay · Kay

Do all our own. Only Honda parts & Castro oil. Using the old 15K & 30K system. Change the oils at 5K (engine & tranny) just easier for us. No bad dealer experience, just the way we like it!

Ursella · Ursella

I quit going to the dealer early on. I had a throw-out bearing fail under warranty. The dealer failed to install 2 replacments correctly. I questioned the dealer of service and a second dealer as to the effects on the factory pressure plate and was blown off. Now at 50k the pressure plate is showing sign...

My freind use to work at Honda wow they charge an arm and a leg there....maybe oil change is ok.. But usally it better to use hanyes and figure things out and do it your self if you can. ANything big just bring it to a speicalist.

Do you have your car serviced at the dealer where you bought it, any factory dealer or private shop?

Sly · Sly

I recently bought a used 2005 accord v6 coupe from carmax. I declined their warranty because they wanted like $1200 for it. I went to my local honda dealership and he quoted me $1300 for 4 additional years. I got stingy with my money and decided not to buy the warranty. I have a side business and in additio...
