Looking for a low cost and reasonably ok mechanic in this area. My car has a check engine light on and the dealer says the egr passages need to be cleaned (Acura 3.5 RL 1999). But he wants to charge me a fortune for the cleaning. Anyone know how much this should cost on average?

OK, this shop is on the other side of town; but, it might be worth it to schedule a trip there. Seems to get pretty high marks for Honda/Acura work and is a good alternative to dealer service, according to reviews.

Did he clear the codes? I can read and clear them for you if you want it done! I'm in River Place.

Hi S6Sputnik, thanks for your post. Did not get the code cleared but planning to get the service done as soon as possible. Apparently, this can set off other codes etc (not sure how true this is!).

How much do you think it would cost to actually get the EGR passages cleaned? I had another guy quote 250 dollars. Does this sound reasonable?

Fair enough. I thought it might be a good excuse to visit one of the east-side BBQ joints discussed in the other threads!
