Hi everyone, this is my first time owning a car. It’s a 2020 Honda civic. I had the « service » light turn on so I took it in to my local Honda service center. These are the issues they flagged and the estimated cost for each. Are these prices fair? Or are these things I can easily/safely learn to do on my own? (Ignore the wiper insert replacement, I can definitely do that on my own)

Thank you in advance!

    if you do it yourself:
    CVT fluid change $40 (draining and filling isn’t that big of a deal)

    Air filter $15

    Brake flush $15 (probably not necessary)

    Air filter $ 15

    Total $85

      I second this.

      Keep in mind, if it is a “sealed” transmission, draining and filling is a pain in the ass without a proper fluid transfer pump. So… it’s cheaper to pay for it. If it isn’t (like some Nissan’s), it’s like changing engine oil.
