Do you think $160 is the right cost?

1st service (at 1000km??) should be nothing more than Oil, Filter & a full inspection to make sure all bolts are tight, all cables working properly etc.... a safety check really...

i spose $160 isnt that bad ($5-60 for oil & filter i guess)

Ok, and this was the 1k service ? If so, as the boys have said, it *sounds* about right..........stuffed if I can remember what the 1k service on the 12 cost :?

They don't do much at this service except change oil and filter, and checklist a lot of things.........

At the first service you should ask them to take the restrictors out... oh that's right it's a Honda, that's as good as it goes.. :wink:

sounds about right

prob 1 hr labour , oil and filter

then the usual
workshop fee
enviromental levy
cause we feel like it charge

lol

change your own oil and filter then you should be paying for about 15 mins labour max

$160 is at the upper end of "normal"..... Las time I paid $145... the other prices I got were all around the 150-170 mark.....

one guy was $110..... so I didnt use him...
