Dealership "Necessary" For New Timing Belt ?

Hello,

Have a V6 2005 Accord with 110K on it.

So, I guess will need a new Timing Belt and Plugs.

Is this something that should really be done at a Dealership, or can
most any "competent" garage handle it ?

Must the Plugs be those Pt tipped very expensive ones ?

Thanks,
B.

What plugs are called for in the owner's/service manual?

Plugs are usually easy! Get a proper plug socket, and have at in the back
yard.

Hondas are prolific, and there are a lot of places that specialize in
Hondas for less money than the dealer.

One really GOOD thing about having the dealer do it: Honda has been
keeping computerized records for decades. You can take a Honda into any
dealer, and they can see what was done to it by dealers since the day it
was sold.

Got this one right Jim. I hope Bob is not a surgeon or runs a nuclear power
plant, his indecisiveness would be fatal.

If this is accurate, is the printout available to a customer upon
request. Possibly for a small fee?
