Here where I live, the indie around the corner, who is quite good, charges the same prices as a dealer.

Re: Maint. req. light/timing belt
Thanks all for the feedback. I trust the Honda dealer. I called
another one 15 minutes away from the first and they were $100+ more. I don't really have a service station that I know well- my friend retired. So I'll start working on developing a relationship; in the meantime it's Honda. thanks again, mm L Alpert wrote: > "Elmo P.
