Hey guys, i have a 2006 honda civic dxg manual trans. i have bout 78xxx kms and i have NOT done a tune up since i bought the car!. i know i know. But i have done the regular oil changes. So now im looking to get up my *** and actually get it done but i dont want to go to a Honda dealership as they will rape my money.
I guess my question is, what is involved in a tune up? Im looking to get all my breaks done, rotors.. all spark plugs, wires changed. oil change, trans flush, radiator flush. Am i missing something else?

im gonna buy my own parts
-and also if anyone knows any good honda mechanics please refer them to me. I use to go to Scott ( dont know his last name) but i lost his contact. He had a shop in woodbridge.

THANK YOU FOR WHATEVER INFORMATION YOU GUYS CAN PROVIDE ME. MUCH APPRECIATED!!...

why do you think you need a tune up?
is the car running rich or consuming too much fuel?
how diligently have you been following the factory recommended service?

the built in maintenance minder system in the new civics should give you a service symbol...cross check that with the service schedule recommended in the manual to see what is included at what interval. i believe spark plugs are covered in that maintenance but plug wires and/or dcap is not. brakes are rotors are not generally considered a part of a tune up. they are a wear item and are inspected at the prescribed interval as per your manual for wear and tear.

its all relative

How do you know this? Fuel consumption can be related to driving habits, tire pressure, a dirty air filter, etc. Small things that may have nothing to do with a tune up.

I loosely follow the Maintenance Minder for oil changes and services. According the maintenance scheduler on the Honda.ca website...
12,000 kmReplace rear differential fluid and every 24,000 km thereafter if vehicle is regularly driven in mountainous areas at very low speeds, or if vehicle is frequently used to tow a trailer (4WD Trucks).Every 24,000 kmReplace rear differential fluid if vehicle is regularly driven in mountainous areas at very low speeds (S2000).Every 24,000 kmReplace air cleaner element if vehicle is regularly driven in dusty conditions.Every 24,000 kmReplace dust and pollen filter if vehicle is regularly driven in urban areas with high concentrations of emissions from industry and diesel-powered vehicles.48,000 kmReplace automatic transmission fluid (V6 Trucks) and transfer case fluid (4WD Trucks) and every 48,000 km thereafter if vehicle is regularly driven in mountainous areas at very low speeds, or if vehicle is frequently used to tow a trailer.100,000 kmReplace automatic transmission fluid and every 48,000 km thereafter if vehicle is regularly driven in mountainous areas at very low speeds, or if vehicle is frequently used to tow a trailer (Accord)100,000 kmReplace timing belt if vehicle is regularly driven in very low temperatures (under -29°C; -20°F, V6 only).Every 256,000 kmInspect idle speed.Every 3 yearsReplace brake fluid.

tune ups, psh.

my accord had only oil changes - gasoline for 300,000 km

and 1 driveshaft change

kruption

Roughly 300 and something on a d16y8. This was about 2.5 years ago and was a little cheaper because I paid cash.

zyepher

Same price roughly all depending on where you go. for a expect around 300-375

that's because most of the new hondas are ICP. There are no external spark plug wires or a distributor=so no cap/rotor.

yah I used to go to scott too, he's the best. I he's not really at that shop anymore. He works on bikes now.
