Thumbs up 90k service

While listening to my engine the other day after Damian mentioned that it sounds like it may be time for me to get a valve adjustment, I began to agree. Then i thought to myself "Car has just over 86k on it might as well do the 90k service." Now is where you all come in. Was just thinking I should ask you all, Take it to a dealer (Most likely garcia) or anyone have another place that is not gonna charge dealer rates for services and does equal or better quality work?

Valve adjustment every 30K miles
Tranny fluid every 30K miles
Diff fluid every 15K miles

You should probably change out your cabin filter as well.

I would say do the valve adjustment at Honda. It's only $120. For the other maintinece PM me I know somebody who can do it for you.

buy a manual or find one online. Valve adjustment really isn't difficult at all as long as you have a socket set, torque wrench, screw driver, and feeler gauges.

yeah i was kinda thinking about just cutting out the dealer/shop and doing it all at my uncles (who use to be a mechanic for garica honda and subaru) seeing as I would prefer to do all my own work anyway.
