Just curious if it ok to go to Honda for like oil change and stuff.
Just wondering if any of you guys show up and they are like "WTF"!! lol
Cause half of the car is not even Honda anymore...lol
Just curious if they care, or would get pissed, or even use it as excuse
to not do something, or charge more!

I need an oil change!

Just an FYI, if your car is dropped, it is better to do the change yourself. If your car lowered more than 1.5 or even worse; your car is kitted; it will just scrape when they try to bring it on the lift, if it even makes it on there.

It takes 20 - 30 min tops.

The dealership doesn't care if you mod your car or not - they'll still do the oil change. Half of the cars coming into the dealership are modded in some way or form, and as long as the drain bolt is still 17mm in diameter they couldn't care less what's going on with the rest of your car.

If your car can't clear the lift, they'll just use a hand jack to jack up the car enough so that the lift arms can fit underneath. Simple.

Now if you have some elaborate body kit where it makes it hard to reach the jack supports, then it may take a little longer. It has taken me up to 20 mins. to lift up some cars with weird *** body kits. The OEM kit really isn't a problem, but some of them are just a pain in the butt to work with.
