dealer just trying to make $? My 2007 Honda Odyssey has 28,000 miles. It has a maintenance minder system that tells you when to go in for oil changes and other maintenance. Recently it said it needed an oil change and tire rotation. However my dealer is trying to get me to do a 30,000 mile checkup for $400. I've looked in the Honda owner's manual and besides the regular maintenance items indicated by the maintenance minder, there's nothing that is recommended for 30,000 miles.

Is there any point to getting these standard checkups from dealerships at certain mileage points, or are these just big money makers for dealers?
 
wtf?!?! 400?!?! that's insane just for a check up... rip off. if you want a check up, bring it into a small trusted shop...they'll definitely charge waaaaay less.

even if you want, bring it into those places where they do oil changes for $30 bucks or around that. they usually do an inspection on your car, make sure their warranty approved. like mr.lube. i don't know if you guys have a "mr.lube" in the states but we have them here in canada and they do inspections with their oil changes.
 
A engine air filter, cabin air filter, oil change, and tire rotation are due. The rest of the 30k service is mostly inspections.....but a lot of them. It is good to have it checked over because if they find anything it would probably be under warranty.....you wouldn't want to find out later once the car is out of warranty. A smaller reputable shop can do the inspection and/or 30k service for you probably at a cheaper rate but if they do find something you will have to go back to the dealer anyways if it is under warranty. Good luck! PS maintenance if VERY important if you want a reliable vehicle
