Routine maintenance is necessary to keeping your Honda in premier condition and withstanding the test of time. Wear-and-tear and unexpected breakdowns may cause you to start searching for answers, but you should not worry, as our Honda service center is here to help!
When is My Honda Due for a Service?
While all Honda models are different in the time they need to be serviced, it is important to become familiar with your owner’s manual to know the specifics of the services you need and the time in which they should be scheduled. Your Honda’s maintenance minder will also notify you on your dashboard of the services that are needed, including Honda A1 and B1 services.
Why Is My Car Shaking When I Accelerate?
Unfortunately, there are various reasons why your Honda may shake or vibrate when you accelerate. The root cause of this issue can be due to damaged motor mounts, loose lug nuts, bent axles or driveshafts, or worn-down spark plugs. It can even go as far as unbalanced or misaligned wheels. Schedule a tire inspection or replacement as soon as possible.
Why Do I Need to Change the Oil in My Car?
Oil changes are a staple in routine maintenance. Reducing and removing any excess dirt that can build up in your engine, oil changes keep your Honda running smoothly. We recommend scheduling an oil change service appointment every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or every six months, whichever comes first.
When Should I Change My Transmission Fluid?
Our service team recommends changing your transmission fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. While your Honda’s transmission may fail without notice, we are here to help with any transmission replacement or fluid changing.
What Do Squeaking Brakes Mean?
Any type of squeaking, grinding, or high-pitched noises with your brakes may indicate a need for a brake replacement. Our brake pad replacement services will replace worn-down parts or fluids to help prevent accidents.
Why Should I Buy OEM Parts for My Vehicle?
Genuine OEM Honda parts or Original Equipment Manufacturer parts are parts made specifically for your Honda’s make and model. Other advantages of OEM parts include being durable and high-quality so that your Honda will run better for longer. Gunn Honda prides itself in using only genuine OEM parts to maintain original factory specifications.
