Even a Honda needs routine maintenance, as parts inevitably wear out due to age and wear. Worn parts can break or fail and cause more serious problems, but regular maintenance allows these issues to be identified and promptly repaired. As your Honda dealer, we want to give you some examples of the types of Honda routine maintenance we provide.
Battery Testing
The battery is one of your Honda’s most important components, as it provides the initial electrical charge that allows your engine to start. Without a working battery, the only way to get your engine started is by jump-starting it. A battery gradually wears out as the chemicals inside it decay and break down, and it will eventually fail.
Fortunately, we can test your battery to determine its remaining strength. We recommend testing the battery yearly, starting from your battery’s third year. Our technicians will connect your battery to our battery tester. This machine will identify any weakness or potential failure in the battery. If the battery is weak, we can quickly install a new one for you in minutes.
Brake Servicing
Your Honda’s brakes are very efficient and will stop your car in seconds, even when you’re traveling at speed. As time passes, the combination of pressure and heat generated by braking will slowly cause wear and tear on the system and its components. Worn or damaged brakes increase your stopping distance, and this can lead to an accident.
We test each braking system component to ensure they’re undamaged and working efficiently. Your brake fluid is tested, then drained and replaced. Finally, the brake pads are replaced, and we examine the rotors to ensure they’re smooth and flat.
Radiator Flushing
The radiator is the center of your vehicle’s cooling system. Liquid coolant moves through your engine and absorbs heat. The heat is then transported to the radiator, where it’s removed by heat exchange. Coolant also absorbs other items like dirt, minute metal chunks, and other debris. This material is dumped in the radiator as the coolant circulates through the engine.
Over time, the debris accumulated in the radiator forms a sludge that can block it. A blocked radiator prevents heat from being removed, and your engine temperature will soar. We fix this problem by connecting our fluid-exchange machine to your radiator hoses. This machine drains the old coolant, cleans any traces left behind, and then fills your coolant again.
