I'm due my 100k Service on my Accord.  I'm scheduled to take it to the dealer for a their 100k service.  I live in Dallas, Tx and want to know if anyone can recommend a shop that can perform the same service, at a better price than the dealer.

Thanks.

Usually the only way to get a better price is to sacrifice service, or to use non-Honda parts. It's probably the water pump/timing belt change that's the big ticket item on your service. If you are comfortable doing the work yourself or with a knowledgeable friend you can buy a timing belt kit. Not sure if they have what you need for the Accord, but I've purchased a kit for my old B16 from inlinefour.com

2003 Accord, four cylinder, has a timing chain that should not need to be replaced for the life of your car. Buy a service manual and do the work yourself. It is not as difficult as you might think.  

 

Acura TSX Research
Acura TSX When looking for your next vehicle, think about the Acura TSX, a stylish car with nice features. The TSX gets 18 mpg in the city and 27 on the highway, and is available in the following bodystyle: Sedans. The Honda Pilot and the Honda Ridgeline are other vehicles that might interest you.
