What you need done? Timing belt? water pump? What year of car?

98 civic...i dont know exactly what i need all i know its been 50,000 since i touched anything....except oil change ofcourse...

i need like a good tune up...

Replace/Change:

Oil and filter
Tranny fluid
Rad flush
Air filter
Fuel filter
Clutch fluid
Brake fluid
PCV valve
VTEC solenoid gasket (if VTEC)
Spark Plugs & wires
Distributor Cap and Rotor

Change timing belt and water pump (if approaching 100k interval)
Adjust valves if needed. (every 24k interval)
Clean Thottle Body/Intake manifold.
Adjust/lubricate throttle cable and butterfly
Inspect Brakes
Inspect Battery
Inspect clutch master/slave cylinders and hydro lines for leaks
Rotate tires, Inspect tread wear


I probaby missed some stuff, but you get the idea.

So how many kms do you have now? If over 80,000km I would recommend a timing belt/water pump change, along with what Jugglez mentioned.

i have close to 100,000km

how much would it cost to do all that and whats a good place to do it?

Upwards of $1000 for all that.. some of it you probably won't have to do... ideally you wnat to keep up with maintenance regulalry so that you don't have to shell out so much cash at once to do all these things.

You could also take care of them in groups and ****** them out so you won't have to spend so much at once. Start with the timing belt/water pump.. 100k is cutting it close....

That's is going to cost you quite a bit. Base on quick calculations i think about, $600-$750 including parts( all genuine honda parts.)

This is a very rough estimate. It could be more or less. but i don't think by much. The labour at honda for all that would be approximatley $600-$800. That's labour alone.

They charge about $70-$85 per hour.

Timing belt and water pump charge is 3-4 hours
Oil Filter (includes inspection of some parts mentioned) 0.3
Valve adjustment 1-1.5
Fuel filter 0.3
Tranny fluid 0.3
Rad flush(included with water pump)
Ignition components 0.5
Rotate tires 0.5 or part of a type two service.
