Honda accord EXL @ San Jose.
Its for new car. The Honda care sentinel seems like just covers oil change, tire and road assistant(RA). So its like $175/year. Say I change oil every 7k~8k, so like 9-10 oil change + possibel tire repair+3 extended years of RA.(new car comes with 3y RA originally).
Worth it?

  • Oil change can be done for 55. Tire repair is free in America tires, road assistance comes as part of your car insurance

    It is waste of money. There are tons of independent shops who do oil changes cheaper. Honda is a very reliable car. Preventive maintenance is good enough

  • What’s the cost of the services without the plan? Is the car financed?

    Even without that these pre pay plans provide limited savings. They are in the business to make money so they push them because.

    1) they know people will finance it which can make them money
    2) Most people either crash the car or trade it in
    3) People tend to be optimistic about how often they will get maintenance
    4) They tend to leave some maintenance stuff out so they can pad their pockets. (They basically lock you into to getting services at a Honda Dealer)

    So it’s a win win for them and maybe win for you if you exercise all the terms and benefits.

    IMO, not saying the above is the gospel and I’m not super familiar with that particular plan
