The service department at your Honda dealership can perform repairs but also offers preventative services to ensure the longevity of your vehicle, keep you safe on the road, and give you confidence year-round. Your vehicle needs regular service; without it, you can increase the risk of a flat tire, engine malfunction, or even a breakdown. When you choose your dealership to perform this work, you can ensure quality, precision, and accuracy.

1. Tire Balance and Rotation

Tires are fundamental components of your vehicle; without them, you won’t go anywhere. One way to extend the longevity of your tires is by scheduling regular tire balance and rotation service appointments. Tire rotation is a preventive service that ensures even wear over time and promotes a uniform tread depth. Tire balance ensures that the tires sit evenly on the vehicle, preventing your car from vibrating or driving unevenly.


2. Battery Check, Purchase, and Installation

Car batteries have a long life, but they can’t last forever. There are certain indications that your battery needs a replacement, including the most obvious ones of being unable to start the car, a cranking engine that won’t start, intermittent inability to start your vehicle, and having to jump your vehicle more than once in a short period.

If you’re unsure if your battery is an issue, we can perform a complimentary check, and if it needs replacement, we’ll take care of the entire process.


3. Oil Change

Hondas typically need an oil change every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. While there are YouTube videos and blogs direct drivers on how to DIY their oil change, we wouldn’t recommend it. It’s messy and time-consuming, and you can do more harm than good if you don’t know what you’re doing. Our oil change services will keep your engine clean, improve gas mileage, and help prevent future repairs.


4. Brake Service

Brakes are critical safety features and, therefore, must always be in the best working order. Any time spent driving puts wear on the brakes. While Honda brakes are designed to last for years, they also can’t last forever.

Your vehicle will let you know when it’s time for a break repair, but a brake service appointment can prevent you from waiting so long that your brake light comes on, it takes longer to stop at lights and stop signs, the car starts vibrating, or you hear a grinding or squealing noises.

Our technicians can provide the necessary services when your vehicle is due for preventative maintenance. We can also prepare your vehicle for a road trip, perform necessary repairs, and address routine maintenance issues to keep your car in optimal condition.
