ok so currently i have my van at the dealership and its getting a "major service done.
i got a quote from one honda dealer and they would do all of the listed for 325+tax:
Oil & Filter Change

Inspect fluids - fill as needed

Inspect accessory belts

Change transmission fluid

Change antifreeze

Complete engine tune - includes:

Replace rotor - Inspect dist. Cap

Replace air element

Set engine to specs

Inspect emission controls

Replace Brake Fluid

Inspect brake lining - front & rear

Inspect brake calipers & wheel cylinders

Adjust rear brakes - inspect bearings

Adjust parking brake

Inspect exhaust system & muffler

Inspect suspension mounting bolts

Inspect steering operation

Rotate tires as needed

Air tires to 30lbs P.S.I.

Check battery - fill as needed

Inspect air conditioning

Road test vehicle

Quality control inspection’

Well i ended up going to another Honda dealer and they first quoted me all this stuff for 525 + tax until i told them i had a quote for 325 + tax somewhere else. So i sent them the email i had on the quote and now they are saying that the only thing i am missing is a ac micro filter so all the things listed + oil change and the ac micro filter is $475. So i hace two questions

1. Arent the things listed with the $325 basically include what is done at an oil change?
2. What is a ac micro filter and do I really need it? this is what the service guy says in his email back to me "THE PRICE AT $325+TX I CAN MATCH, BUT WITHOUT THE A/C MICRON FILTER. THE FILTER IS VERY IMPORTANT THOUGH, AND WHY THEY DONT INCLUDE THEM IN THERE SERVICES....I DONT KNOW. IT IS LIKE A HOME FURNICE FILTER. IT FILTRATES ALL DUST PARTICLES THAT COME THROUGH THE VENTS. IF THE FILTER DOES GET CLOGGED UP...IT CAN EFFECT OTHER THINGS."

i just want to make sure im not getting jipped.

please dont tell me to look at the manual, we bought the van used and there was no manual included.

Thank you I appreciate your time and answers.
my van has around 67000 miles so we are doing the major 60k
