30K Mile Service
I'm at 30k miles on my car and I'm trying to find a place to take it. I don't want to go back to Tony Honda because I don't like there service. I called Pflueger honda and they said it could be around $400 and up, or it could be less if I had some of the work done already. I don't think much has been done to the car so I'm thinking everything on the list for 30k will have to be done.
Any suggestions on where to take her?

I know that I need to change the oil and filter and probably the AC thing. But when I called windward honda they said I had to rotate the tires???? Oh and they said price starts at $489

Like Jayson said, the 30k service is pretty easy to do on your own if you want to save $489. You can't rotate the tires due to the difference in size between F and R, unless they mean dismounting and swapping the left for right tires. I wouldn't think that that's worth it though unless you're getting really uneven wear.
I would help you, but I've been working 7 days/week and over 60 hours so I haven't even washed my car in about 3 months.

i think the main things are the diff fluid and tranny fluid changes. oil change may be in order depending on if you did one recently or not. don't forget the air filter and the cabin filter. most of the other stuff is just bs visual inspections.

but the tranny and diff fluid changes are the important ones...

Cool thanks for all the info. Mike helped me change the diff fluid already, I need to do the brakes, tranny fluid, engine oil and then a air filters. I don't see how all this would even come close to $400.
Yeah I didn't plan on taking it to a dealership, I was just wondering how much they charged so if I took it to someone else I could see how much the price would be around.
