    It's cheaper at Honda dealer if they still have their change oil promo. 1,095 inclusive of 10W-30 engine oil, oil filter and labor.

    Start first by reading your owner's manual to familiarize yourself with what has to be done at specific service intervals. From there you'll know what has to be done, what fluids and specifications are required, then you can buy your own parts and instruct the shop what to do.

    I usually have my PMS done at Motech.

    How much charge sa Motech ng mga PMS stuff like brake cleaning/adjustment and brake flushing?

    Can't remember the exact cost but i spend 1K more or less for the labor on the change oil, brake cleaning and wheel alignment. This includes the 20% discount i have (or their regular promos) from the discount card i availed of. I bring my own oil, filter, and brake cleaner.

    Some dealerships' labor charges are cheap enough, specially if they have a cash discount. Yun lang they have hidden charges that normally fall under "workshop materials" or "sundries" or other BS.

    For me if you go to an independent or service chain, the after service warranty (owning up to eff ups) is the most important thing and sometimes not worth the cheaper rate. It helps to know someone who already has service done there regularly.

    Since it has no CASA record, best to change all your fluids (transmission, brake fluids, power steering, fluid) and filters (fuel filter and air filter), then replace the belts as well.

    Go to SpeedyFix. Also drain and change radiator fluid. Important to change Automatic Transmision Fluid.

    600 for a spark plug? That's quite expensive. Maybe it's for 4 pcs already? Bosch Platinum spark plug costs only 200 pesos or less. Use mineral oil first and not synthetic.

    I spent 450 per spark plug when I had mine replaced for my Mazda, that's Banawe price already. Iridium plugs are really more expensive because you only replace them every 100k km.
