What is included in the service? I'm not exactly car competent and I've done most of the stuff myself. In my experience, these service packages are total ripoffs. The only thing I have done at Miller is oil changes and thats only because I am too lazy to take of the 15 screws on that plate under the car. I did it for a while using ramps, but it just wasn't worth all the time it was taking me. It would take me like 10 minutes to change the oil, but over 20 minutes with the screws each way.

Common service items I did:

1.) Brakes(helps to have someone experienced guiding you through it).
2.) In cabin airfilter(got an after market filter for like $12 and it took all of 10 minutes to do. Miller wanted like $110).
3.) Air filter(actually JWT popcharger).
4.) New battery.

Stuff I took to shops(not Miller):

1.) Transmission flush.
2.) Belts(like half the cost of Miller)
3.) Spark plugs(like half the cost of Miller, and better quality product)

This is a stupid question but does anyone know a good place to do a 90K service for my 04 Honda? I don't want to take it to dealer & get ripped off. Thanks in advance

For how much?
Some of that stuff is unnecessary/ridiculous, but thats a lot of service. The transmission fluid alone is like $150 or something like that.
