    Fair price for timing belt and water pump change at Honda dealer?

    For a Honda dealer, that is about right. For an independent shop, you can probably get it done for $200-300 less. Don't forget about valve adjustment. It should also include plugs, belts, and coolant. As others have stated, you probably need your tranny, brake, and PS fluid replaced as well...

    Repair bill huge on my 96 Accord, help me see if their 'estimate' is out of whack

    I used to have a '96 Accord 4cyl auto and think I can contribute. I did all the labor myself on each of the things they are charging you for, so I think you can listen with confidence. These motors do have a tendency to clog up the EGR ports, and EGR valves do go bad after a time. At 80K when...

    share your worst used car stories

    Bought a '88 Dodge Grand Caravan Beaverwacker from a coworker. One owner. He had just rebuilt the engine and gotten it painted. Nice shape on inside, about 120K miles on it. Just had second baby, so needed the room for roadtrips. A month or two in, noticed it starting to blow blue smoke...

    Suggest a degreaser(for kitchen)

    Warm them up a little first, then the oven cleaner will cut through the grease easier. Not hot, just warm.

    What maintenance can I do on my Honda Accord?

    We just purchased an 03 4 cyl Accord. No major maintenance till 110k. Then plugs, coolant. Ours has 108k, so I went ahead and did plugs. Bled brakes and new PS fluid. Did AC filter and engine air filter, they both needed it. Ordered a new serpentine belt, water pump, and tensioner as our...

    Good cure for discolored plastic molding??

    Not kidding, takes wax off all the black plastics I have tried it on. Works especially well on those textured black plastic bumpers and trim. Even works good on rubber weatherstrip.

    Replacing radiator fan assembly on Nissan Maxima

    It may be the fan, but I would suspect a bad motor mount or two causing the vibrations. Electric fans don't really vibrate that much, though they may be noisey. In any case, good luck!

    $952 to fully replace rear brakes sound reasonable?

    The expensive calipers (loaded with pads) from rockauto are $120 each, the expensive rotors $80 each. You can get good quality stuff for half that, though, also from rockauto. This should be a $500 job.

    Went in for an alignment.. found out control arm bushings are shot...

    Make sure they really need replaced. Control arm bushing do get cracks in them, but rarely need replaced unless the cracks are deep enough to cause significant movement of the sleeve. This is another one of those "you need your muffler bearings replaced" items that car repair places use to...

    Is bulb grease necessary? (installing turn-signal and headlight bulbs)

    As most have said, it is optional, especially for connections that never get wet. However, it is necessary for trailer lights that get submerged when launching water craft or any other electrical connection that has the chance of getting wet. Use liberally in these cases!

    2003 Honda Odyssey Transmission Question

    Hey Caveman! We have an '02 that has the same clunk when cold. Ours has 125K on it, and just recently started. I think it is one of the motor mounts that has not been replaced yet, probably the rear or the one that actually bolts to the tranny. The front and side mount were recently...

    Any recommendations on sites for cheap honda parts?

    There is an ebay store called TIMING BELT KIT PRO. They sell complete timing belt kits, and at least for Hondas, they are quality parts from many of the OEMs that Honda uses. You will probably only have to purchase plugs and antifreeze for a complete timing belt job. I have purchased three...

    Exhaust system needs replacement on my Accord, how much $ to eat?

    I have a '96 Accord, and a local shop quoted me $40 to replace just the muffler. An aftermarket unit, though just as quiet as stock. I went ahead and replaced the entire exhaust from the cat back though, as the pipes were in bad shape also. All Walker hardware from Rockauto. With a new...

    Rockauto....is a G.

    Love Rockauto. You do have to be carefull to select parts that ship from the same warehouse though, or shipping can get expensive. The 5% discount can offset that, though.

    Replacing a muffler... what to look for?

    I got a Walker muffler and pipes to replace the rusted stock muffler and pipes from the cat back on my son's Accord. Easy bolt on using stock hangars and hardware. Nice and quiet also. www.rockauto.com

    Any carpenters around?

    I don't think I would use any screws at all. You can google "bed frame parts woodworker" and come up with many hits on hardware to make this a clip together type assembly. Basically, just like a store bought frame.

    Got the Accord back road worthy this weekend

    On your oil leak, try snugging up the oil pan bolts. My son's '96 had a one or two drop a night leak that made a mess of the underside and driveway, and once I tightened up the oil pan bolts it has virtually stopped! ;) I agree with the others on the ABS leak, it will probably leak out...
