I just got a $60 check in the mail for my oil change, and I was at a place I swore I'd never step foot in again. They had me out in a little over an hour, but they put my car on the allignment rack and gave me printouts showing that it is in near perfect allignment. (One upsell miss.)
They also correctly identified that I have a small leak on my valve cover gasket. They then bring up the fact that my Honda is near 120,000 and ask me if I have changed the timing belt yet?
They end up printing up an estinate to change the timing belt, and water pump (since it's right there and 95% of the labor is done.) I assumed they were padding the bill with an insane upsell.
Sure enough, I go home and blow the dust off the owners manual and read the 90,000 mile suggested maintanence requirement. Go online and read about the horror stories of what happens of the belt breaks on this type of engine as it is whats called an "interferance engine". This means that if the belt breaks, parts that are moving inside the engine will collide with other parts that cannot be in the same space at the same time causing extreme engine damage up to and including totaling the engine.
This is not something I'd ever let this shop do to my Honda, but they were very accurate in pointing out my ticking time bomb of an engine.
