![]() If you ask the mechanic what they are really going to replace for the 120,000 maintenance service you might find that they really don’t REPLACE much, but they inspect everything. I have a 120,000 mile check out in which I charge $175 and for that price I inspect the brakes, the tires, the front end parts, the fuel system, change the oil and filter and do a minor tune up.īUT during all those inspections I find that your car really need a brake job, two new tires, and a front end alignment and has a big oil leak. Now the charges will be an additional $700 plus the $175. Why? The services and repairs needed at that mileage vary greatly. I bet if you called 5 local shops and dealerships in your area you will get a different quote and probably a different list of items that will be inspected and replaced. I will drain the transmission fluid soon at 175,000 miles its all original down there! New filter can't hurt and if the transmission blows up, then I'm getting a rebuild and driving it until the wheels fall off.How much would you say should be expected to pay in a 120,000 mile scheduled service for a Honda Accord?

Question: After completing Themostat, waterpump, Vanos Seals, and tensioner replacements, will there be indicator light (bells and whistles going off in my car)? Because, I do not have any diagnostic equipment to turn anything off.įront and rear suspension are doing o.k. Vanos Seals are on the to do list, btw what is the best indication that they need to be changed (how do I diagnose the possible issue?) Thanks I need to complete the cooling system replacement (Radiator and hoses are done already). I definitely have some work to do, having looked over the 150k mile upkeep and my previous maintanence records.
