"Replace rear control arm bushings"

"needed repair, fixed it, works fine now"

"front brakes jsut wore out - it was time"

"brake line started leaking due to age/rust, honda uses a plastic cover to protect the brake and fuel lines which can hold moisture and dirt and this is where the brake lines rusted."

"Throw out bearing"

"had to replace it. it was the original radiator. pretty good"

"replace"

"was very easy to fix"

"Water pump started making noise while we were on an out-of-town trip to a Dr. appointment. We were able to limp it home and did not have to call AAA for a tow. We opted to replace the timing belt since it was apart and accessible. Cost was $400.00, most for labor."

"The service advisor warned me that the head gasket was "damp" (not yet leaking). I had it replaced before serious problems developed."

"The overheating was due to a problem with the head gasket"

"I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND ABOUT IT BUT THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED"
