Also New to Honda - Lots of Questions

Hey there,

I'm another Honda newbie... just bought a '06 Civic LX Coupe. Looking for advice on few (okay lots) of things...

Rust Proofing: I hear that it's not worth going through the Honda dealer... Is it worth doing at all? Any recommendations of where to go?

Honda's Extended Warranty: Honda is offering a 5 year warranty for approx $1500 bucks. It doesn't apply to wear and tear.... but think it's worth it?

Tinting: Any recommendations of a reliable tinting place in Markham? What do you think about 20% tints?

Thanks in advanced for your advice!

Welcome

In regards to tinting, I recommend you check out our sponsor "Audio Heaven", they are located in Richmond Hill.

Welcome!

There is a tinting place in markham that's quite popular, but I can't remember the name.

Just do a google search and you'll find some tint shops.

first off welcome to the forums.

- Rust proofing is must maybe once every 2 years (thats how i do mine) do not take it to the dealership, take it to any local rust proofing place. (krown would be the best )

- DO NOT get extended warranty, that is a pure scam. they will make you run around and find every way around the issue when it will come to warranty.

in the meeting will reply further later lol

Welcome dude!

For rust proofing and under coating, take it to Krown (Lakeshore)

Tinting...anywhere that offers a warranty.

Vehicle Warrenty...save your money. If something was to break, it would be in the first 50,000km
