No problem. Went in for an oil change, and they told me that the throttle body had an abnormally high amount of carbon on it, that it needed cleaning to get better gas mileage. They did say that this is usually only needed every 3 years...No problems with the car. What do you think?

 

"Fishy" is the nicest thing I could think of for that line.

You didn't actually say it was a dealer but the 30,000 check up sounds kind of like dealer speak. In any case I believe you would do well to hunt for a new service place. Talk to people you know and get recommendations. I know it's difficult (unless you're a motor-head) to find confidence inspiring service but $350 for two tires and $100 "throttle body cleaning" doesn't sound like you've found it!

 

College Park Honda!

 

Clean your throttle body yourself it's actually quite simple,all you need is a can of throttle body cleaner/carb. cleaner,which can be purchased at any autoparts store for under $5.00

 

Look at it first!!! It is more than likely a snow job all together!!!!

 

I think you should do what the dealer suggests, I mean who could know your Honda better than the dealer that sold it to you.

BTW, Did you make sure they replaced these?

They have to be replaced I beleive every 30k miles.

 

^ OMG that site is great!

Now I know where to go for that 70,000-mile wallet flush!
