Blah why is it so hard to get things done on my car...
springs: first place i took it too didnt even know how to install them.
rims: had to get them balanced 5 times before the steering wheel stopped shaking
system: every where i go they have badd service. some shop even cussed me out
oil change: wtf, the simplest thing to do and i have problems even getting this done.
shop 1) your cars too low. wtf you guys got it on the ramp perfectly fine the last time i got an oil change there.
shop 2) you NEED 5-20 so its $12 more. WTF you dont NEED it. its only recommended. and why is it $12 more?
blah i'm just tired of badd service every where. there are probably only a few shops that havnt given me any problems.

brakes are cake, if you can take off your front wheels, then you are set, just need the correct wrench/socket and then just a c clampt to clamp the brake piston and you are set, re bolt the 2-4 bolts then slap on your wheel, double check your fluid, and drive happy!

I don't trust generic oils. They make the engine feel so harsh...

The car wash is decent. My friend always get it done there.... except they dont clean your rims (or hubcaps ha)

Rep Power: 417

jiffy lube is expensive. i think they wanted like $30, $50 for synthetic

They use Penzoil (which is "decent" oil. slightly better than generic)

oh...and even worse are their filters. They are GENERIC...(made of cheap paper)

 
Rep Power: 306

Yeah, a quick lube stripped my oil drain plug. Broke the screws holding down my OEM air filter.

I should have done it myself. I can do it in 20 minutes and it is always right. Plus I check out the other items as well.

A floor jack and jack stands will pay for themselves every time...

Yeah...this car industry thingy really sux ***...they can basically charge you anything and do whatever they want to do with your car...it is just total BS!...Rip OFF!!! :>:

OkAY... do it yourself.


AK!!! DON'T GO TO HONDAWORLD IN DOWNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!
I don't know if you read any of my old posts when I first joined or not, but Honda Downey should be SUED by me.
I didn't.
Why not???
Too many problems.
They caused me probs with work/school/transportation/ etc.
DOWNEY HONDA PUT 300 EXTRA MILES ON MY CAR when my car only had 200 mi on it.
Why?
An employee apparently took it out joyriding.
IT WASN'T EVEN BROKEN IN YET; THEY PROLLY DROVE THE ***** OUT OF MY CAR, F#CKING IT UP.
That is only ONE problem I had with them. Let's just say I had MANY, MANY problems with those jackasses.

 
Rep Power: 417

too lazy to do it myself...
its only $10 so..
i'm sure the oil alone is $6, filter and all that other crap and it comes close to $10.

 
Rep Power: 334

I know you are too lazy to do it yourself, but save yourself some heartache.
=(
I think that as long as you have time and are able, you should try. IF you are busy, then I understand. If you are handicap or weak, I understand.

The only place I trust is the carwash!!! (my boyfriend's anyway)
It is really difficult to get me to hand my car over to people.
I have had way too many bad experiences.
RIDICULOUS.
