Default First Service - non oil change - happy customer

Just took in our 2007 for some service work (Purchased in March). Very happy with the dealer. The back end was noisier then the front end of the vehicle. I thought it might have been the rear wheel bearings, they took it for a drive and yes it was noisy...replaced. They also fixed the rear spoiler issue. We've 21,000 km on it.

We've been consistantly around 4.8 l/100 km since we purchased it but tonight after I drove home I got a bit of a pleasant surprise 3.7 over 40 km usually that route gets me around 4.6! I hope it continues, will know after a couple tanks.

The OEM tires are also very noisy after only 21k km (~13k miles), they are looking into replacing them.

I find my Dunlap tires noisy as well, even produce more noise than my winter tires. I'm not using them next summer! Did they replace the bearings on the rear wheels? H

Kevin: You said they fixed the rear spoiler issue. What exactly did they do?

They replaced both rear wheel bearings.

Not exactly sure what they did to the rear spoiler, they fixed the paint and it doesn't move around anymore. Before you could move it by hand about a quarter of an inch, now it's solid.

I asked the cashier guy, he said they fixed it as per Honda's notes on the problem.
