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!
Others have explained how over priced this is. But beyond that when you are able trade the car in and get one with a normal automatic or even an old school manual transmission. The CVT transmissions do not last and when they give up the ghost it will cost you a lot. You’ll find lots of Nissans sold dirt cheap with transmission issues, because they are all CVT transmissions and unlike normal automatic transmissions CVT transmissions have a belt/chain that wears out over time. Hondas aren’t as bad but they are still relatively new technology for Honda so I wouldn’t expect them to be as reliable as an old school automatic. Maybe in another 10 years CVTs will have become more reliable but you are taking a risk with one.
