'They' is the Honda dealership service department in downtown Columbus
OH. 'They' didn't offer that the OBD would be any help in knowing the
source of the trouble. 'They' said that to find out what happened would
cost $500.00, (trans removal and disassembly) and the total repair bill
would be around $2700.00.
'They' said that he is 3000 miles and four months outside the coverage
of his warranty.
