[godown1]

Ya I just did it at the dealer like a week ago cost $149.99..... I watched my friend do it on my 97 astro ill prolly do it myself next time

Our trans fluid was done at about 17k & cost $81.03 plus tax.
The breakdown:

labor (.50 of hourly rate) 39.75
fluid 3 qts @ 13.15 39.45
washer, drain size 20 1.83

Just for reference, the oil change costs $45.70 plus tax.

Total for both, with taxes, hazardous waste fees, less discounts $124.48

I guess it is different at every dealer.....
my oil changes are under 60 with tax
the trans fluid change 249.99 before tax
They told me to clean the fuel injector 149.99 I have 49k miles and I never heard of that so I told them next time
Brake fluid 149.99 befoe tax
I have to look at the papers to find the tire rotation but they told me i have better tires in the front so I shouldnt do it till after winter but I beleive its 2499 or 19.99
Looks like I can do all this stuff myself exept the fuel injector T.T idk how to clean I dont even no what that looks like

You do not need injector cleaner at all provided you are using top tier fuel. It sounds like your dealer is working you. I would not do a brake fluid change until the three years called for in the maintenance specs. It's 3 years regardless of miles. I do think more frequent trans fluid changes are a good idea. But that has been true of all Honda automatics, not just CVT ones.

Sounds like that maybe a BG dealer vs just a Honda one. BG has a lot of stuff to do to vehicles for supposely better service. The Toy dealer I visited was like that and had all these extra services and they all started at 100 bucks on up. I think they got me on something called an induction service for the supercharger I had on my tacoma. They want to flush the trans, but I said no as reading online many say its not a good idea to do on one that isnt serviced regularity anyways.

Although Ive never changed brake fluid it seems to improve the feel and response of the brake petal as well as the trac and skid control. It seems our system circulates the fluid around and that can induce air bubbles and other containments than the basic 2 circuit brake system of the past.
