Avg cost for me has been around 2.5k-3.5k for normal services (oil changes, washers etc.) else big services have been around 5k which includes brake pads, spark plugs etc.
Been using honda 0w-20 and honda oil filter sa city ko and no problem so far since regular naman pagpapalit ko ng oil.
About that 1.8 engine. It's great, but there is one potential issue at 100k+ miles, fuel injectors. If one goes, they all will fail as a result so if you have to change one, you will absolutely need to change them all. They worked perfectly for me.
I had a customer that went through 4 starters from Napa. When I diagnosed it the starter was not fully engaging and grinding on the flywheel. Told them I needed to get a starter from Honda. After arguing and arguing and doubting and more arguing, the new starter from Honda fixed it.
Throw some studded tires on and you’ll be fine. I made it back to Saskatchewan after a blizzard in Banff Alberta where it snowed 10” of slush. It was a slow drive dragging through the snow.
Timing belt seems cheap,im guessing aftermarket parts? Id ask for honda genuine parts if i were you- honda tech here,seen cheap aftermarket timing belt components fail and cause engine damage. Valve adjustment seems a lil high,it is tedious to perform. Reason for adjustment? We only adjust if the valves are noisy or run into misfire issues. Rest of parts are within the timing belt work procedure,ask if they can do better since they’re already there. Id skip the valve adjust
Are you sure it was the head gasket and not like the valve cover gasket? An oil leak from the head gasket is possible but really unusual. When a head gasket blows usually you start burning coolant, not leaking oil. Something in this story doesn’t quite make sense to me.
my wife's 2017 CR-V blew a head gasket at 133k, despite doing all the maintenance items when they were required., including yep.. regular oil changes when required. Honda dealer straight up lied and told me it was because I didn't change the oil, such BS. Took the car to another place, asked them to confirm this.. go figure, it was not true. I saw the engine myself. We just got the damn thing back after two months of tracking down a used engine, they are hard to find. That tells me this happens often. We ended up replacing the engine, but the turbocharger it came with was cracked so another had to shell out another 1k or something. All in all it was 8k. The frickin car will be paid off in January, we were so close. Anyways.. Come to find out there are class-action lawsuits in Canada over the 1.5 engine, I'm sure there will be one in the US as well after researching it. tons of issues. Lots of other manufacturer's have had issues with these little engines with high compression.
I replaced the battery on my wives 2009 honda accord. Started her up and it made this awful sound the second the AC kicked on. Bogged down the engine and made it run rough. It has never had AC issues until now and I'm sure it's coincidence with the battery changeout.
They did Honda City "Sports" and gave CVT for crying out loud.
