What is the Honda B1 Service Code?

The B1 Honda maintenance code represents an oil and filter change with a vehicle inspection and a tire rotation service. The “B” stands for an oil and filter change with vehicle inspection and the “1” stands for a tire rotation.

The B1 service is an A1 service with a vehicle inspection and is typically performed by a Honda dealership or with a local mechanic.

Service Cost

The B1 service typically costs $100-$250. The cost will depend on the specific Honda vehicle you have and the labor cost rate.

For maintenance services like the B1, most dealerships and 3rd party auto shops offer coupons and discounts. We suggest calling several locations beforehand to get the best deals.

“B” Service Cost

The “B” service, or oil change, typically costs $50-$100 depending on the Honda model you have. It is a 30 to 40-minute service with the cost mostly from the parts. Some Honda vehicles, like the 2022 Pilot, require synthetic oil which is more expensive.
