I recently (April 2007) bought a 2006 Honda Civic EX at 12,333 miles.

Now, less than a moth later, the car displays a scheduled B1 maintenence. The dealer says it will cost me $ 130.
Should I get it done since everything that is included in the B1 maintenence was already done as part of a 85-point inspection before sale by the same dealer.

Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

 

what's included?

 

Replacement engine oil and oil filter
Inspect front and reear brakes
Checking parking brake adjustment
Visually inspect these items:
Tie end rods, steering gear box, and boots
Suspesion components
Driveshaft boots
Brake hoses and line (including ABS)
All fluid levels and condition of fluids
Exhaust system
Fuel lines and connections

Rotate tires

 

hell no. that's an oil change and tire rotation.

do it yourself, or do it at wally world for next to nothing.

 

will it hurt the warranty if I dont get it done though.

 

no

just get your oil changed and tires rotated.... it's a typical 15k service check it sounds like.

as long as you get regular oil changes/tire rotations etc, your warranty is fine.

 

Thank you drbyers and cderalow for your quick and convincing responses. I am off to get just an oil change and tire rotation.

 

you'll need to reset your maintenance required light.

your operator's manual will show you how. it takes 5 seconds.

and keep your oil change and tire rotation receipt for your records in case you ever sell your car and the new buyer wants proof of maintenance.

 

Update:
I drove up to the service center. the service guy took a look at the car, noticed that it has run less than 1 K miles after I bought it, and just reset the maintenence light. He said that all the B1 things were done just before sale and I do not have to worry about even an oil change for the next 4-5K miles.

And thanks once again for your suggestions.

I havefiled the 85-point inspection report in my records.
