i have been told by the dealer that my front timing cover seal needs replacing. i am a single woman and don't want to get taken. do these go bad this quick. i have the oil changed regularly and there has been no mention of loss of oil until i had a sensor replaced about 2 months ago and also had the oil changed at that time. it will cost me 615.00 total to have this done so you can see why i am questioning it.

  it's always best to get a second opinion. ask other Honda
  owners who is the best in town. the independent shop owner looks out for their customers better and respects
  the value of a happy customer.
