What is the purpose of brake pads? Brake pads are designed to squeeze together against the brake rotor to slow down or stop your vehicle.
What problems occur with brake pads? Brake pads are wear-items and continued driving past the recommended replacement interval can lead to compromised braking and expensive repairs.
How is this corrected? Your Honda Certified Technician will replace the old, worn down brake pads with new, high quality Honda-approved brake pads.
Is it time to schedule your Brake Pad Replacement? If your Honda has been on the road for over 60,000 km, it’s time for a Brake Pad Replacement. A Brake Pad Replacement will restore braking performance, lower repair costs, and provide safe, peace-of-mind driving for years to come.
What is a serpentine belt? Honda vehicles are equipped with a serpentine belt, also known as a drive belt. By “snaking” around the various pulleys, both sides of a serpentine belt can grip and be used to drive components such as the alternator, power brakes, power steering pump, water pump, and air conditioning compressor.
How long do serpentine belts last? Generally, serpentine belts last around 5 years or up to 100,000 kilometers before replacement becomes necessary. Belt wear is difficult to see by just looking at the belt. Our Honda Certified technicians can measure the depth of the grooves in the underside of the belt to determine whether the belt should be replaced.
How is this corrected? Serpentine belts that show chunking or cracks need to be replaced immediately, as they will soon fail. Serpentine belt failure typically means loss of engine cooling, loss of battery charging, loss of power steering assist, and loss of air conditioning. In short, a belt failure means a severe vehicle breakdown.
Is it time to schedule a Serpentine Belt Replacement? If your Honda has been on the road for 5 years or 100,000 kilometers, it’s time for a Serpentine Belt Replacement. Having this service performed by a Honda Certified Technician will ensure long engine life and safe, peace-of-mind driving for years to come.
What is the purpose of a battery? The battery provides the power to start your engine and run all the electrical components throughout your vehicle.
What problems occur in the battery? Battery terminals can develop corrosion that blocks the flow of power from the battery to the electrical system. Continued driving past the recommended service interval can cause ignition problems and lead to a dead battery.
How is this corrected? Your Honda Certified Technician will remove the corrosion from the battery terminals, tighten connections, and perform a battery test.
Is it time to schedule your Battery Service? If your Honda has been on the road for 24,000 km, it’s time for your Battery Service. A Battery Service will ensure proper starting power, a long-lasting battery, and peace-of-mind driving for years to come.
What is the purpose of spark plugs? Spark plugs supply the spark that ignites the air & fuel mixture, creating the explosion that makes your engine produce power.
What problems occur with spark plugs? Spark plugs deal with a high amount of heat and contaminates that negatively affect their function. Continued driving past the recommended replacement interval can lead to difficult vehicle start-ups, poor engine performance, and higher fuel consumption.

Your Honda’s engine has an intake air cleaner which contains an air filter element that prevents foreign materials such as dust and debris from entering the cylinders. If foreign materials make their way into the engine, they cause internal damage and premature wear.
Whenever the engine is running, the air filter is removing and collecting foreign materials from the intake air and will eventually accumulate enough that replacement will be necessary. A clogged air filter affects engine performance and can increase fuel consumption and contributes to engine oil contamination.
An engine air filter inspection and replacement are required at specific maintenance intervals, as indicated in the Owner’s Manual or by the Honda factory-recommended maintenance schedule. If you often drive in dusty conditions, more frequent replacement may be necessary.
We can provide and install the correct, Genuine Honda filter for your vehicle.
What is the purpose of correct wheel alignment? Correct wheel alignment ensures perfect contact of your tires with the road surface.
What problems can occur? Impact with a pothole or curb can throw your wheels out of alignment, which can lead to uneven tire wear, poor steering control, and high fuel consumption.
How is this corrected? Your Honda-Certified technician will perform a wheel alignment to the exact specification of your Honda.
Is it time to schedule your Wheel Alignment? If your Honda has been on the road for over 24,000 km, it’s time for a Wheel Alignment.

What is the purpose of antifreeze/coolant? Antifreeze/coolant is designed to keep your engine running at normal operating temperatures and to prevent freezing during the cold winter months.
Why is an antifreeze/coolant replacement important? Over time and kilometers driven, your antifreeze/coolant loses its chemical properties and becomes contaminated with rust and scale deposits which reduces its effectiveness, resulting in engine overheating—the #1 cause of engine breakdown!
How is this corrected? Your Honda Certified Technician will remove the old antifreeze/coolant and replace it with Genuine Honda Antifreeze/Coolant and then perform a complete inspection including all hoses and connections.
Is it time to schedule your Antifreeze/Coolant Replacement? If your Honda has been on the road for over 5 years, it’s time for an Antifreeze/Coolant Replacement. Having this service performed will ensure long engine life and safe, peace-of-mind driving for years to come.
What are shocks & struts? The purpose of shocks & struts is to maximize your tires’ contact with the road, especially on poor road conditions and in severe braking situations. Honda has optimized the design of their shocks & struts to handle most road conditions while providing a comfortable ride – although safety is always the primary concern.
How long do shocks & struts last? Over 120,000 kilometers or 7 years driven, your shocks & struts will have cycled over 112,500,000 times – reducing their ability to safely keep your tires in proper contact with the road. This creates an unsafe condition of longer stopping distances and poor vehicle control.
How is this corrected? Replacing your worn-out shocks and struts as recommended will restore your vehicle’s safety system back to the original Honda factory specifications.
Is it time to schedule your Shocks & Struts Replacement? Having new shocks & struts installed by our Honda Certified Technicians will maximize braking effectiveness, improve vehicle control, and provide safe, peace-of-mind driving for years to come.
