2004 Civic Sedan
102 000 Km

These were the quotes from the honda dealer:

- Replacement of Timing Belt/Water Pump change: 500 $
- Replacement of transmission bearing/Support bearing: approx 1000 $
- Oil Pan: 950 $

The oil pan is apparently leaking (never saw any sign of it), but anyway the price seems excessive to me ?

 

It really depends on the shops hourly rate. Some charge $60 while others charge $80 an hour. From that they get the blue book maintanance allocation chart and multiple it by the hourly rate. I think it is high considering you can do it yourself for about $90 for the pan gasket.

 

Looks like a complete rip off to me. At 2004 you should start looking for a reputable independent shop or learning how to do some of this work yourself.

I mean, $950 for an oil pan gasket is absolutely ludicrus. That's a VACATION'S worth of money for something that takes maybe an hour to do.

Timing belt looks one or two hundred low.

What transmission bearing are they changing?

 

here's the break down for the second item:

- Replacement of overhaul bearing of transmission and clutch (main bearing, secondary shaft, clutch bearing): 859 $
- Transmission support front motor: 240 $
