Can someone tell me if I got royally screwed or not?
I used to have a V6 Audi, so the service prices I was used to were astronomical. Anyways, I have a 2004 Civic now. This is what I got done at the Honda dealer (i had a seatbelt warranty issue so i went there):
-Timing Belt, water pump, etc...
- Tire rotation
-Patch one tire that has been a very annoying slow leak
- Replace both "Compliance Arm Bushings" - apparently these were not even there anymore and made my car fail state inspection
- State inspection (30$)
- Alignment
The total cost was $1184. I can post a detailed breakdown of parts and labor if anyone wants it.
I remember my timing belt job alone on my Audi was $1200 from a trusted mechanic and the dealer wanted $2300 for it, so coming from those prices this seems reasonable.
Also, what do "Compliance Arm Bushings" actually do? They seem to be a common Honda replacement headache. I could've shopped around I guess but I've been sick and had other life stresses going on right now so and I felt comfortable going to the dealership since I don't know a Honda mechanic personally.
