Default 60K mile tune-up $

What does the average check-up cost at a honda dealership? Should I do the basic crap on my own, and leave the more advanced stuff to them?

(I have never done the 60K check-up since I have never owned a car under 120K in my life...)

the fuel filter is relatively easy. i swapped mine out in the parking lot of pepboys after i bought a wrench for the correct size. 15min later, i walked back in and returned it h:

Everything is easy to do...probably the most difficult is the valve adjustment.

That's exactly something that I don't know how to do...I have to go through the manual and see what needs to be done, etc...


It would still be under warranty if I did all the work right? Or does the dealer need to do it to stay under warranty?
