Hello All,

I'm hoping that some one can recommend a cheaper alternative to the dealership to have my Type E service completed. My car has about 94,000 km's and at 96,000 km it will require the Type E service. I'm sure there has to be some great licensed mechanics on this forum that can do it for much cheaper than the stealership. I would like to take it to a place that will still keep my warranty in tact. Please let me know if you can recommend a place. I have listed what the Type E service entails.

Thanks your comments are greatly appreciated.

u can get it done pretty much at any mechanic shop providing they do all teh checks that on the list and give u a written invoice that says they did all those checks and replacements.

Thanks for the comments. I was hoping that some one could refer me to a good mechanic or shop that won't charge me too much and will do as good a job as the dealership.

Thanks in advance.

.. a lot of that you can do ur self.. and some of the break adjusting and drive shaft checking can be done the next time you get an oil change done at like GoodYear... if you nice and ask them to check it for u they will..

A lot of places also offer a fluid top up and MINOR adjustment of E-Break when they do an oil change... so just shop around..
OR take that list to a garage and ask them to do that...

Thanks for all the responses. I found a user by the name of Douge on here that use to work for a Honda dealership. He's agreed to do the service for me, so I think I'll go that route.
