Hi everyone, this is my first time owning a car. It’s a 2020 Honda civic. I had the « service » light turn on so I took it in to my local Honda service center. These are the issues they flagged and the estimated cost for each. Are these prices fair? Or are these things I can easily/safely learn to do on my own? (Ignore the wiper insert replacement, I can definitely do that on my own)

Thank you in advance!

    Good way to save money is just always youtube whatever service is recommended. Seems within your skills? Go for it. Sound hard? Let the professionals.

    That said, engine air filter is a must and you should do yourself. 30 seconds, 15 bucks. Wiper blades, if needed. 5 minutes, 20-30 bucks. Cabin air filter, not critical and can somewhat be a pain depending on the car. But very DIY friendly usually. Brake fluid and CVT fluid: Read your owner’s manual and see the reccomened interval. If your car has it due, DO IT. If your fluid is good, you could pass temporarily on the Brake fluid. DO NOT PASS ON CVT FLUID. CVTs need very rigorous fluid changes, right on time. Dont delay that.
