Rosenthal Landmark Honda

I called around to price my timing belt replacement for my Honda Civic (which is an amazingly great car, by the way). And surprisingly enough, Landmark Honda was cheaper than the 3 independent shops I called for the service. I called the Honda service manager back after getting the higher independent shop quotes to ask why a Honda dealership would be cheaper -- it goes against conventional logic -- and he said that the independent shops always charge too much for Honda repairs/service. He even quoted me the rates the independent shops had quoted me for the timing belt replacement job. They under cut the others by $300.
