How much is a 105,000 mile service

Hello, That is over twice what you should be paying. I would recommend finding a non-dealer mechanic and getting an alternate quote. (As long is it won't ruin any warranties ) Best of luck! CarGrrl

Yay carGrrl...also a lot of times there is the FACTORY recommended service and then the DEALER recommended service. Of course the DEALER recommended service includes a lot of extras that are probably not usually needed for the warranty.

I recently had engine serviced at 100,000 and they too recommended, new spark plugs, timing belt, etc. I grew up in the new car business and know this " When it's running well, gas mileage is still good, don't tune it. I may be wrong, but I get a head nod when I say this and the timing belt, well I'm not sure. I'm inclined to go further, maybe 150,000. I will then replace timing belt, have alternator rebuilt by a electrical specialty shop, and a new water pump. That's what I've done with other high mileage car. Good luck.

Hi the only thing that it is very important is to change the timing belt at the 100,000 miles. The timing belt is from rubber and don't tells you when is not good and if its break when the car is running mmmmm it is best to junk the van. Because it is going to cost a rebuilt a motor. Water pump work or don't works and the spark plug if is running good on gas don't replace it. The coolant chaing it every year because if you don't you are going to have to replacfe the head covers and it will cost you aroun 2,000$ or more. The transmission oil you have to chaing it every year if you have never do it don't do it now because your transmission it is going to start giving you problems. I hope this helps

My dealer wanted $850 to replace Timing Belt, All other Belts, and the water pump. I got an alternate bid from a reputable non-Honda service garage and they came in at $663. Next time as got my Honda serviced at Honda (Oil, filter) I left the car and told them I had an alternate bid and the amount and they came down to $700 plus tax. I think they're feeling the pinch too. Don't be afraid to negotiate, after all it's your money and it doesn't grow on trees.

Just so you know, the parts wholesale for this "do it right" maneuver are $400 including a belt tensioner and new belt roller, and yes do the water pump no matter what they say, because its driven by belt and has a bearing / seal to the inside of the motor and only cost $35 internet. If just master belt then $100. Full price at dealer for these two numbers can be 200-900 in parts. $200 for the average dealer "lets make some high profit for using a rubber master belt instead of a metal chain in our engineering design". The fastest mechanic in the world might be able to do this in 2 hours plus transmission coolant refill of another 30 min. Shop labor on this job is 6 hours min - thus 700 in labor. Home mechanic can do this first time in 8-10 hours. Conclusion: get a parts list so you know what they are doing to your van in this famous "110,000 mile service"

What are they doing for $1600? You should change the timing belt. The water pump is driven by the timing belt, and is easy to change at the same time. Spark plugs last 100,000 miles, which is a long time, though they are a little expensive. $1600 is a little high, but in range if they do a few more things, too.

The price may include timing belt, water pump, pulleys and other belts. may also include oil change, trans liquid, brake liquids^^ it is normal for a honda dealer

That's too much and my book says replace timing belt at 120,000. If you read your manual, it will tell you what you need and when you need it. The dealer is usually much higher than independent shops. If you can find a reputable one that works on hondas, I would recommend you use. them.

When I had my Odyssey done some years ago, I had a 20% off coupon from the dealer. That got it close enough to the independent shop price. For the 2002 Odyssey, the timing belt change is 105,000 mi. It might be different for later years. But you really want to do it. For most engines, if the belt breaks it causes major engine damage. Every car I have ever owned needed a water pump changed before 100,000 miles. So easy with the timing belt off, hard with it on. A bigger question is the oil seals. Also, they will change the coolant along with the water pump, which is also about the right time.

in 2016 why is honda still using breakable belts is the million dollar question ... ?

Belts are quiet. Chains make some noise.

Cost control (theirs, not yours). Pay now or pay me later. Nissan and Toyota went away from timing belts for good reason. Honda figures they have enough competitive advantage they can pass the cost on to the customer for long term maintenance.

Not so fast on the Nissan going away from timing belts for good reason. Talk to any Nissan Maxima owner and they will tell you the timing chains go bad too. They start with a loud whiring sound and its much more expensive to fix. Been there, fixed that. Paid $

Also so you know the dealers kept telling me to change spark plugs at 105,000. The car check engine light came on exactly at that time and turns out the spark plugs failed as well as the pistons and rings. All covered up to 8 years because of lawsuit for this very issue.

Change the timing belt! I have a 2008 Odyssey with 125k miles sitting on the curb dead because the timing belt broke and ruined the engine. Engine dead. Bought the car new and it ran like such a champ, I thought I could push it. Dumbest mistake and cost me a $10,000 to replace it with a slightly newer model. CHANGE THE TIMING BELT. Do the regular maintenance. It’s so worth it. These vans can run into 300k-400k miles. I wish mine would have gone to at least 200k... I loved it.

I just did the service. cost me $700 plus three hundred for plugs. didn't do the valve adjustment yet. that's another 450. Y>K> Lakewood nj

I AM TOLD BY MY HONDA DEALER THAT I NEED TO HAVE THIS DONE AT A COST OF $1396.00 PLUS TAX. I HAVE A LIGHT KNOCK AND I THOUGHT IT WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I'M HAVING THIS DONE TOMORROW BECAUSE IM TAKING A TRIP. I KNOW FROM EXPERENCE DEALERS ARE WAY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN INDEPENENT GARAGES. PROBLEM IS, I DONT KNOW ANYONE ELSE WHO WORKS ON HONDA'S. I WONDER IF NEW BUYERS ARE TOLD THEY WILL HAVE TO SPEND 1500.00 ON REGULAR MAINTANENCE AT 100,000 MILES, HOW MANY WOULD OPT OUT OF BUYING A HONDA. RIDICULOUS PRICE AND RIGHT HEAR AT CHRISTMAS

I just had this service done(timing belt and water pump) for $1187 and then I needed some other $200 part that they said if I didn’t get and it broke would cost another 1k. They also told me valves and spark plugs are additional $700 at one Honda dealership and $1000 at another. I have 130k miles. Hoping I can wait on spark plugs and valve adjustment or find a better deal. This is I. The Kansas City area. Hoping this is it for maintenance and this car lasts another 100k miles!

Rhodes independent Honda Accra Ventura California when you do 100,000 mile service divided by eight years so you’re talking about $180 a year for maintenance it doesn’t have to be done for another 100.000 not bad

I am a handy amateur DIYer. This weekend I completed the 100000 (+) mile service. Changed the spark plugs, timing belt, water pump, tensioner and two of the pulley bearings. Also replaced the serpentine belt. All of the old parts that I removed were original and appeared to have no significant indications of wear, at all. Flushed the coolant since a lot spills out on disassembly. Also flushed the steering fluid as the wheels were off the ground. It was a big job for me and took Saturday and a good part of Sunday to complete. Definitely not a job to be rushed. All parts were $312. 2 Notes. The clips for the wheel well plastic liner break when you pull them and Honda charge up to $5/clip. (!!) Also, O'Reiley auto parts rented me the tool to hold crank from rotating, while the big- torque bolt at the end of the crank is being turned off. Policy is, you buy the tool ($54) and get your money back when returning it.

ANY NOTICEABLE RESULTS FROM DOING THE SERVICE? Surprisingly, yes. The new plugs (I am assuming) appear to have perked up the performance quite a bit. Noticeably when starting from a stop light. The best thing though, is that the steering is markedly improved. The vehicle had developed a tendency to not hold a steady line and needed micro corrections all the time. This was annoying and had me thinking there was slack in the steering system somewhere. That appears to have been cured with the steering fluid refresh.

Should I do it at 105,000 mi 2002 Odyssey?
