Reply to comment by t-poke in Local Honda Dealer has an advertisement offering extra money for my make, model, year, and trim. Is it a good idea to take these offers and trade up/down? by BMXBikr

That makes me feel better about saying no, thanks. Getting my oil changed and new brakes and they always offer a cabin air filter replacement after I just changed it. I hate the name brand garages, but idk if I can trust a local garage with the correct oil and care either.

I'm not saying I'd trust Jiffy Lube, but your Civic is nothing special. Any decent local mechanic can work on it. Ask your friends and family if they know of a good one.

Good on you for changing the air filters yourself, in most cars, you could probably train a monkey to do it. Super easy.

You should try to find a well-reviewed independent mechanic near you. They are almost certainly overcharging you a good bit for the brakes, if you even really need them at all.

Thanks, I'll be looking around after this visit. Yeah, I do need them, put it off longer than I'd like for safety.
