Question when you hit a year or 15,000 miles
What did you do when you hit a year of yoru car or 15,000 miles?? What type of maintenance did you do to your car?? The honda dealership suggest one should have oild changed, oil filter changed, clutch adjusted, brake adjusted, injector additive, clean battery, inspect brake pads, inspect exahust system (i have an aftermarket catback and exahust, will that be a problem?), inspect coolant, inspect alignment, top off all fluids, and other stuff i forgot. . well what did you do and where did you do it?? Did you do it yourself or went somewhere else?? And i checked the post about wheel alignment and read some threads. But, my tires, stock, don't look too warn out, and the tire shoulders look all right. . . .however, if the steering wheel is tilted a little, LITTLE, bit to the right, the car goes straight, but if the steering wheel is perfectly straight, from drivers point of view, the car slowly moves to the left. . .must i get a wheel alignment??? thanks for the input! peacE

I had my oil changed. Thats all I know of, have no clue what the dealership "inspected" though. Car is still great. You shouldn't need an alignment after only a year.[hr]

I swear every road in a 100 mile radius is under construction!! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]~Ayu-mi-yake~
They told me that my car needs a valve adjustment every 15,000 miles so i had them do it for 80 bucks. It seems like a scam but i did not want to take any chances now im almost at 30,000 im going to see a diferent dealer about it this time.[IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG]
buddy, you got jipped! i think either the car has self-adjusting valves, or you don't need to adjust them every 100K miles or so. just look in your owners manual. and go back to the dealer to get your money back...
