Just over 30,000, I think. I only put 10 miles on it during my commute, and I haven't taken too many long drives in it.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Check your maintenance schedule for the transmission fluid. I call bullshit for having to change out your transmission fluid yet on a Civic.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
$1200 for that seems steep, too, but I'm no expert. A filter, oil/fluid change and new brake pads shouldn't cost that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. For auto maintenance/fluids etc., go by your owner's manual, not what the dealer or other repair place says.

The transmission fluid is $140, the brake pad change includes rotors and fluid, and there's the original problem which is the oxygen sensor on the emissions system which includes a reprogramming of the software to tweak the cause of the sensor going out.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The oxygen sensor replacement I'm guessing about $300.
Brakepads maybe $250 - $300
Replace a brake light bulb dunno, I'd just do it myself. Maybe $10
Transmission Flush maybe $150 (which I don't think you need.)
Oil change $30
Cabin Air Filter maybe $20
Just guessing, but yeah, I agree with bon bon, I'd call around.
Massive Cross-Post.

Ok, maybe the oxygen sensor is more of a wild card than I was thinking. But the brake job is weird, your brake pads are at 80% worn and you need new rotors? That doesn't make sense. Resurfacing, sure, but replacement?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Rumoured lead for the new Nikita. Never seen her in anything, but she seems to have action cred.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Kathy, can't you buy an air filter at an auto parts store (or Target) and put it in yourself?
I say that without knowing what a Civic engine looks like -- maybe the air filter is hard to reach, in which case, having the mechanic replace it is worth the aggravation, IMO.
(When my oxygen sensor was wonky in the Echo, I cleaned the sensor myself andthen reset the software that reads it. Again, I'm not recommending that you do that, necessarily. I did it b/c Dr. Google assured me it would be easy AND fix the problem. Which it was and did.)

That, too, seems wonky.
