I know this is off topic, but i wanted to get my fuel filter replaced on my honda accord, and was wondering if anyone knew of any good mechanics who would do it at a reasonable price in the area. Preferably somewhere other than Canadian Tire, since I haven't had good experiences dealing with them.

I had mine replaced at an acura dealer recently, it wasn't too expensive. (At least you know it'd be done right)

I own an Accord and have done this myself.
It is rather easy.

When I don't have the time to wrench on my car myself, I take it to the guys at Budget Exhaust and Automotive in Burlington. More important than their fair pricing and good work, I trust them. I have sent dozens of people there, and they all come back with glowing reports.

Be sure and tell them I sent ya.

Haha! No, Kidding! Has anyone?
There is a Honda dealer just down the road from Mac that does good work. A buddy of mine had a lot of work done to his 91 Accord there. They do great work, are straight up honest and reasonably priced.

As you head towards the 403 it is on the right (south) side of the road right by the 403 (From the back lot you look down on the 403. I think it is sterling Honda but I'm not sure of that name.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I actually live down the street from the Honda dealership, but I always thought that dealers charged absurb amount of money for any auto work done. I was planning to do it myself at first, even bought the filter from Cdn Tire, but then realized that A) Its getting to cold B) Since my car is lowered, its hard to prop up, and 3) If I do get it proped up, then i have to unscrew the bottom of the filter from underneath the car, which is hard since the filter is located in the upper portion of the engine, with alot of things in the way. But if you (KillerGrand)have any suggestions on an easier way of doing it, i'll appreciate the help.
