I have an 01 civic ex. It's got 105k miles, so I need to get some maintenance done on it. The local honda dealership gave me a quote for $730 for the following:

-All belts change (timing, alternator..)
-water pump change
-replace all oil seals (crank, cam, etc...)
-inspect and adjust valves
-replace valve cover gasket
-full inspection of car for anything else

The fact that it's from a dealership also means that I get a nice honda warranty on all the work, and all parts will be genuine honda parts.

Is it worth it to do this, or is it a complete rip off and I should check out some private mechanics?

thanks

its not a Complete rip-off. Im getting exactly the same thing done at the moment with a private mechanic for 600, no warranty though. I was thinking I could get mine done even cheaper still, its about 5-6 hours labor, and the parts altogether should run more than 100-150. this mechanic just happens to be very conveniently located. Shop around unless you relly want the warranty id say

What honda dealer?

That is decent price. Timing belt and water pump alone is like $450. I am not sure what is involved for cam on your car, maybe gearbox knows.
