It's supposed to.


Bear, look around at car forums for good prices and reviews on parts. For things like water pumps, timing belts, and especially spark plugs, just stick with OEM Honda stuff. Shocks, struts, springs, etc you might be able to find better after market stuff for cheaper.

I have a good coil spring compressor; depending on the when I may be able to lend a hand too.

Timing belt is every 60k, at least on a Honda.

Put me in the fix it up category. I do a lot of my own work. Brakes are real easy. While 2k sounds way too high for suspension, what did they want to replace?

I think timing belt replacement is every 80k. Do the cam seals at the same time.

Don't forget to replace the air freshener!!

What did they want to replace on the suspension?... I'm not sure, the guy just said "suspension". But he did mention something like shocks on the front and struts in the back or something or other. I'm not mechanically inclined....

What are cam seals?

Gosh dangit, I need a list of what to replace.

I have a good coil spring compressor; depending on the when I may be able to lend a hand too.

The more the merrier in my view. It's Joe's house though, all up to him.



So list:

Shocks
Struts
Brake pads/shoes (front and back)
Rotors (front and back?)
Battery
Timing belt
Other belts?
Water Pump (what is this for? I don't have a drinking fountain in the trunk. Hehe.)
Cam seals?
Spark Plugs?
Spark plug wire things?
Anything else?



(I just had the tires rotated, oil changed, air filters changed... which brought up this whole mess again.)
