30K Maintenance - Honda Pilot

I just found out that my 30K maintenance will cost $400. WoW. Adjust Valves? What happen to auto valve lifers?

Doesn't it say in the owners manual adjust only if noisy. Check the owners manual for 30,000 mile service. Its allot of just checking stuff. Its a very steep rice for what they do. Or don't do.

i've never gotten any of these so-called maintenance work done by a dealer. just check your fluids, belts, oil, etc....and make sure eveything looks good.

no need to adjust your valves if engine sounds normal.

dealers, esp. honda, loves to get additional $ out of customers - note the
maintenance lights that are auto-programmed in that put people on alert. just re-set it and do some visual checks according to the manual, and you should be fine.
