After 2 years...

... and 30,000 miles riding the Californian roads, our Honda Accord EX needed to pass the 30K maintenance. We expected to pay around $400 and we ended paying the double :o(

On top of the regular verifications, the rear breaks, the cabin air filter and the transmission fluid needed to be replaced. Ok, nothing else?

$566 was only for the labor work... Ok, I am glad we did not buy a used-car and took the chance to get a lemon the first time we arrived in California. Anyway, this is for this kind of reasons we decided to buy a brand new car: no way we spend hundred of dollars in regular reparations or we get stuck in the middle of nowhere because of some mechanical issues that always happen at the worst time.
