Mods if this needs to be moved then no problem.
I have a 2010 odyssey that is nearing 105000 and sounds like I should be thinking timing belt. what other maintenance would everyone recommend? what are some good prices? I have a mechanic that I will probably use. I buy parts and he does the work but more info is always nice to know.
Personally, I like to use rock auto since I know the actual brand of parts I'm purchasing from them. As for recommended maintenance, consult your owner's manual. Being a 2010, most of the car manufacturers have digital versions of the owner's manual so you can see what's due at 105,000 miles. Personally, some thing I like to do is change the water pump at that mileage and when changing the timing belt, I like to change all the idler pullies with it as well along with any seals that are recommended for your specific engine while you're in there that deep. That way, you don't have to pop it all open again to serve another part that fails. Parts are cheap, it's the labor that's pricey but it sounds like you have a competent mechanic you work with already. You might as well do what you can when you're already that deep into the engine.
