    FK2 FK2 75k/6year service costs

    Depends what service schedule your car is set up on, I had my 6th year one at honda expecting big bill.. Low miles, valves done last year, So was advised basic 6th year service with health check, health check they throw in screenwash etc. If you're low mileage go with standard 12+ with health.
