When I took my service plan out, initially I had to have the 16,000 mile service in year 2 so as to comply with Honda warranty, but I complained saying that if I've only done say 10,000 miles in year 2, that's too early for the valve clearance check. The dealer agreed in writing that if I don't get 16,000 on the clock in year 2, then I pay for an 8,000 mile service at that time and the pre-paid 16,000 service with shim check must be carried out during year 3. So, was then happy to agree to the Plan.
