120,000 mi Service 06 Civic LX
Hey all,
I searched but didn't find an answer, so here is my question. The dealership suggests a service at 120,000 miles (did the full 700 dollar tuneup at 100k) which includes adjusting valves, trans fluid, brake fluid flush, and filters (which I do myself regularly) and some other misc work that I forget at the moment. My question is this, is it needed work or just another excuse to overcharge me? I want the car to last to 200, so I don't mind spending some money to make sure it runs well. Any advice for maintaining my car at 120k and beyond is welcome, thanks!

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Ask the dealer people for an itemized list of everything they want to include in their version of a 120k service.
Take it home and compare to what your owners manual states needs to be done (it won't really because it's a maintenance minder car), and compare to your actual service history, what's already been completed and when..
