I called the dealership about scheduling minor maintenance for my 04 Accord and they said it was 90 bucks. It includes an oil change (~$25), a tire rotation, and then they 'lube' a bunch of things and inspect a few other things. Seems higher than normal.

When I bought my Honda I saw their approximate prices on a board in the service department -
7500 mi: $100
15000 mi: $200
30000 mi: $400

For that kind of stuff you should be able to find a book value online somewhere, but if not, remember that their time is worth roughly $75-100 / hour depending on your location. Oil and filter might cost 15 bucks, plus 45 minutes of labor (if you're slow), so it comes out about right.
