Do a tune-up, change the oil, make sure your cat is not clogged up, and buy yourself a timing gun and check the timing yourself. Easy to do and it definitely won't cost you 150 bucks.

Thanks guys... my dad and I checked the timing last night... he says he couldn't find the numbers or something? How are you suppose to tell how much it's tilted? We got a timing gun but all we saw was the little white mark and no numbers... or are we going at this all wrong? my dad is used to fixing toyotas so he's always complaining about how honda's parts are so poorly engineered.... blah blah blah... help?
Oh one more thing how do I check to see if my cat is clogged?

Smog
Change the oil and clean out the Throttle body before you go and make sure that the car is warm when they test it. Run it good and hard before you get there and try not to let it sit too long and cool off.
