Figured I should mention it here! Honda dealers are offering free inspections and roadside assistance to those of us with 2007 or older vehicles!
Just took my '89 Accord LX down to Kingston Honda for a complimentary multi-point inspection along with a free 1-year subscription to roadside assistance! This promotion is only going on in Ontario and ends on the 28th of February if anybody else is interested!
On an interesting note, they found:
-Needs front pads and rotors
-Needs FRS CV axle
-Needs Distributor oil seal.
Apparently my battery failed their test too, but it started the car fine after sitting through three weeks of cold winter weather.. Not worried about that too much.
And Honda quoted me.....(Drumroll here):
A grand total of $904.28.
A great opportunity to get the dealer to have a look at my car (They were amazed at what kind of shape my 23 year old car was in!) but of course I won't be having them perform the service. I can do this entire job myself including re-timing the motor after removing the distributor for approximately 200 dollars. The brake job will be a good way to kill an afternoon if I'm bored, but I haven't done a CV axle on a car like this before. Is it a rough job? Alignment required?
