My mech. wants $225.00 to install ALL filters. Air, fuel and cruise control. Is this reasonable?

The air filter is about 2-4 hours labor alone, depending on how many the tech has done. Parts maybe $50-70.
Probably not a bd deal ... and it's something that only has to be done like every 32K
This is for parts, labor and tax. I purchased used and unknown when the last time any of this was done by previous owner
Thanks everyone
Do you know when the timing belts were last changed?

Since you mentioned the "cruise" filter I am assuming we are talking about a GL1500, right? If so, the GL1500 has two small foam filters, the L shaped cruise filter and the rectangular sub filter. They tend to dry out and crumble over time. It's not an exact science, so I purchased a foam air filter element for a lawn mower and fashioned a couple matching filters. This foam material doesn't break down like the Honda OEM foam does. Mine have been in place for over 100K miles and many years in my 1990se.
I love "helmet hair" because it means I've been riding!
Let him do it...............Once they're all changed, you won't have to worry about it again, for many, many years.... And then you'll know they all have been replaced at the same time.............
