The Honda Service Pass is a maintenance program included with the purchase of any new and eligible Honda vehicle since 2023. It helps customers manage routine servicing and keeps their vehicles in optimal condition by following the manufacturer’s proposed maintenance schedule. Customers enjoy extra peace of mind and reduced ownership costs for the duration of the program.

What the Service Pass Includes

When a customer purchases a new Honda vehicle, they automatically receive the Service Pass as part of the deal, subject to the vehicle’s eligibility. The program covers select maintenance services as outlined by the vehicle’s Maintenance Minder system. These services include multipoint inspections, engine oil and filter changes, and tire rotations. Why are these routine procedures so important?

Multipoint Inpsections

The Honda Multi-Point Inspection evaluates your vehicle’s overall condition, including the engine compartment, chassis, timing belt, headlights, steering, suspension, battery, fluids, and filters. A certified Honda technician assigns a health grade to each major component using a grading scale checklist, providing you with the necessary information to make informed maintenance decisions.

Engine Oil and Filter Changes

Oil and filter changes are included in Honda’s Service Pass and are crucial for maintaining your vehicle. An oil change every 5,000 to 7,000 miles is generally advisable using the correct engine oil to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. For your convenience, the remaining engine oil life is calculated and displayed in Honda vehicles via the Maintenance Minder system (introduced in 2006).

Tire Rotations

You get free tire rotations under the terms of the Service Pass. Regular tire rotations are essential for even tread wear, extending tire life and improving overall vehicle performance. They provide balanced handling and traction, which is particularly important on wet or slippery roads. Furthermore, they can assist in identifying alignment or suspension issues.

How Long Does the Service Pass Last?

Honda’s Service Pass for 2023 and 2024 models covers all factory-scheduled maintenance during the first two years or 24,000 miles of the vehicle’s lifespan, whichever arrives first. The duration is one year or 12,000 miles for 2025 models. The plan is fully transferable to subsequent owners while active. New Hondas are also backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile limited warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty.

During the 3-year/36,000-mile warranty period, included Honda Roadside Assistance offers 24-hour emergency road service.
