What changes your price
- Dealer extras. Some dealers add brake cleaning or fluid services that Honda did not ask for.
- Oil amount. Bigger engines need more than 5 quarts.
- Your model. Trucks and SUVs can cost more than a Civic.
- Specials. Many dealers run a set B1 price most of the time.
- Your warranty. New Hondas get B1 free for the first year.
- Your city. Labor rates change by area.
What B1 really means
B1 is a code from the Honda Maintenance Minder, the light on your dash. Honda Libertyville explains that the B part means an oil and filter change plus an inspection of your brakes, steering, suspension, driveshaft boots, fluids and exhaust. The 1 means a tire rotation.
That is the whole Honda job. On a Ridgeline owners forum, one owner describes B1 as simply an oil and filter change, a tire rotation and a set of simple checks, and reports a local dealer price of $179.99. On a Civic forum, another owner was quoted $210 plus tax once the dealer added brake cleaning. Other owners reported paying about $70 to $120 at their dealers.
New Hondas get it free. New Century Honda says Honda Service Pass covers A1 and B1 services on new 2025 and 2026 models for 12 months or 12,000 miles at participating dealers.

When B1 finds a problem
The B1 inspection checks your brakes. If the tech finds worn pads, see our brake pad replacement page for that cost. If your Maintenance Minder also shows a brake fluid code, see our brake fluid change page.
For just the oil part of B1, quick lube chains are one more option. Our Valvoline page shows their prices.
How to judge the price you are quoted
- Ask for a list of exactly what the B1 price includes.
- Check your owner manual. Pay for what Honda lists, not dealer extras.
- Ask if you still have Honda Service Pass coverage.
- Compare with $120 to $300 at a dealer.
- Check the dealer specials page before you book.
Ways to pay less
- Use Honda Service Pass if your Honda is new.
- Say no to extras the Maintenance Minder did not call for.
- Book a dealer special. Many run a set B1 price.
- Get quotes from two or three shops.
- An independent shop can do B1 with the right oil and a rotation.
