When do you know it is time for vehicle maintenance?
There are a ton of ways you can tell that it is time for a service visit, one of which includes utilizing HondaLink. Many drivers know the average timeframes of common needs, and these are often outlined in your owner's manual. If you need clarification on these standard timeframes, be sure to ask one of our team members.
Another way to tell that your vehicle needs maintenance is with common warning signs. Whether that's a maintenance code on your dash or a strange sound coming from under the hood, there are many things to look out for. As soon as you notice a warning sign, bring your car or SUV into our shop.
How often do I need an oil change?
The standard rule of thumb is to change your oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. This can vary depending on the type of vehicle you drive, the oil you use, and your driving patterns. When you visit us for a Honda oil change, one of our professionals will give you a more accurate estimate of when your next service should be. We could also save you some money with one of our oil change coupons.
What do vehicle maintenance codes mean?
A vehicle maintenance code is as easy as it sounds. This is when an alert illuminates on your dashboard. That means that it is time to see a professional. Our team has years of experience in this industry, meaning we can run a quick diagnostic and get your Honda fixed in no time.
What is LKAS?
LKAS stands for Lane Keeping Assist System. This is the safety feature that helps you stay within the lines while on your morning commute. If this system has a fault, you want to be sure to get it taken care of quickly.
What is ACC?
ACC stands for Adaptive Cruise Control. Many commuters dread the highway portion of their trips. This can all change with an ACC system. With this feature, you can set the appropriate speed while on the road, and your car will stay a safe distance from the traffic ahead. The ACC system will also adapt that speed to best meet traffic needs.
What is the A with a circle around it on the dash?
When you see the A with a circle around it on your dash, it often has to do with the anti-lock braking system. This feature allows you to stay maneuverable during a hard brake, which can keep you out of harm's way. Be sure to visit us soon if you see this indicator on your dashboard.
