i look at the list of what they do in the type B and type C package, it is a total rip off.
keyword is INSPECT and they dont change nothign but the engine oil and oil filter and they wants $100+ from you

i just ignore all those package and i change my oil at friend's shop and reset the maintanence light myself (check DIY if you dont know how to reset it)

Manual has the how to reset the maintenence light. However by not going to a qualified mechanic with proper paperwork, you are voiding your warrenty. It is a ripoff, a big scam, thats why I will do most of the repairs myself after the 3 year warrenty. Until then, theres nothing to be done unless you know some Honda mechanics that can give you a break in charges.

Funny... the experience I got at a performance shop gives me the opportunity to do mechanical work.
