Comprehensive Honda Maintenance: Keeping Your Car Running Smoothly

Wheel Alignment

Wheel alignment refers to the angle of your wheels. Your Honda model’s wheel alignment is determined by the designers to enable your vehicle to travel straight and true without pulling to either side. When your Honda is new, its wheel alignment is perfect, but this will change over time. If your wheel alignment isn’t correct, tire wear increases, and you’ll use more fuel.

We can correct any alignment issue by connecting your wheels to our wheel alignment machine. This machine uses a computer to make a series of adjustments to each wheel to bring it back to its correct angles.

Spark Plug Replacement

The spark plugs provide the ignition source for combustion. A spark plug screws into the top of each engine cylinder, and it ignites the fuel-air mixture at the height of compression. They slowly wear out over time and can also become damaged due to electrical issues, failed ignition coils, or a fuel-rich engine.

Damaged plugs will cause misfiring or stalling and decrease your fuel efficiency. Our technicians will test your plugs and replace any worn or damaged ones.

Brake Pad Replacement

As mentioned above, worn pads can cause unnecessary damage to your Honda if they’re not replaced. The pads fit into the brake calipers, and they have a friction material covering that slows and stops the wheel rotors. The material covering thins out over time, and the thinner covering increases your braking distance and decreases brake responsiveness.

Worn brake pads produce a high-pitched screeching noise each time you apply the brakes. Replacing damaged pads is a quick process, and you’ll feel an immediate improvement in braking effectiveness.

Oil Change

Oil is one of your Honda’s most essential fluids, as it provides lubrication, cools hot engine components, and reduces engine blockages and rust build-up. Older oil becomes thicker, moves more slowly, and is less effective at keeping your engine running smoothly.

Our technicians will drain the old oil, remove the old oil filter, and replace it with a new one. We then reseal the sump at the bottom of the engine where the oil is stored and check the seals fit tightly. We then refill your engine with either regular or synthetic oil, depending on the type of oil in your Honda.
