maybe i have a different relationship with my local honda dealer than most folks, they are cheaper for an oil change than the crackheads at jiffy lube and the other quick lubes, and they know that the crush washer needs to be replaced. also, i get all my service al a carte and they dont push any service on me. for example, they charged just $55 for changing the tranny fluid. they said that honda recommends every 100-120k, but that if i wanted to do it at 50-60, they would do it for me, even tho they arent recommending it. they also told me to wait until i do the timing belt at ~100, to do the coolant. i had to have a bent wheel replaced, and my service writer suggested a few placed locally and online to find one. i got one for 57$ and honda only charged me 12$ to mount and balance it. and finally, i need new tires. i was thinking about getting them from tirerack. my honda dealer said i could ship them there and they would only charge 39$ to mount and balance them, valve stems, etc, included. that is cheaper than anywhere else in town. even cheaper than the recommended installers from the tirerack site. i will only go to the dealer, ymmv
