Following the proper Honda maintenance schedule for your vehicle is important to ensure it continues to run reliably and efficiently. If you have any questions about the correct maintenance period for your individual model, feel free to ask any of our service representatives or consult your owner’s manual.
In addition to essential mechanic services and regular maintenance, our Vehicle Service Centre offers a full car and truck detailing service. Visit our Auto Spa to see our full selection of interior and exterior detailing packages. Depending on weather conditions, we also offer a free car wash at the end of your service appointment to leave your vehicle looking as good as it runs.
Studies have shown that up to 70% of vehicles on the road have at least one under-inflated tire. Checking and maintaining tire pressure regularly will help extend tire life and reduce fuel consumption. Every time you check your Honda’s tire pressures, you should also examine the tires for damage, foreign objects, and wear.
Misaligned wheels can cause uneven and rapid tire wear. It is normal for wheel alignment to change through the life of the vehicle as wear accumulates and especially if the vehicle is driven on rough roads. If abnormal tire wear or damage is discovered when checking tire pressures or during vehicle maintenance, or your Honda has developed symptoms such as pulling to one side or that the steering wheel is not centred when driving straight, the wheel alignment should be checked and corrected if needed.
Proper wheel balance helps prevent unnecessary wear to the tires, steering, and suspension components and also provides for a more enjoyable driving experience. Wheel balance normally changes as tires wear and should be checked periodically when you change or rotate tires, and especially if you have noticed speed-related vibration while driving. Wheel balancing should always be done when replacing tires and when a tire has been removed from a wheel for any reason.
Anything that increases a tire’s rolling resistance or friction with the road surface will increase the amount of work required of the engine and therefore the amount of fuel it burns.
Under-inflation increases a tire’s rolling resistance. Don’t wait until your tires “look” low, or the TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) warns you that your Honda’s tire pressures are low before you check them. Tires that are 56 kPa (8 PSI) low can increase fuel consumption by 4%. Think of the air to keep your tires at proper pressure as “free” gasoline.
Wheel misalignment increases the resistance of the tires to roll in the direction of vehicle movement, which requires extra engine power to overcome and more fuel to be consumed. The increased “drag” caused could increase fuel consumption by up to 25%.
Automobile and light truck tires manufactured for sale in North America have wear indicators (“wear bars”) moulded into the tire tread at 2/32″ depth. This is the minimum legal tread depth permitted for use on public roads. When a tire’s tread is worn level with the wear indicators in two or more adjacent tread grooves, the tire is considered illegal for further use and must be replaced.
Some all-season tires have a second wear indicator at 4/32″ tread depth. When worn to this depth, an all-season tire may no longer be suitable for use in snow and may experience hydroplaning in severe wet conditions.
Winter tires may have a second wear indicator at 6/32″ that indicates when the tire may no longer be suitable for use in snow.

In case of accident insist on Genuine Honda parts.
If you’re ever in an accident, insist that your insurance company authorizes only Genuine Honda Collision Parts. Why? Because Genuine Honda Collision parts are the only parts which are manufactured to Honda’s exacting standards for fit, finish and corrosion protection. They’re the only parts that are covered by our warranty. And they’re the only parts that are guaranteed to perform as only a Honda can.
Will my insurance company automatically specify Genuine Honda collision parts?
No. Imitation parts may be sufficient for insurance companies because they cost less, but it may compromise the fit, finish and corrosion protection of your Honda.
Do imitation parts equal the quality of Genuine Honda Collision Parts?
No. Imitation parts may be sufficient for insurance companies because they cost less, but it may compromise the fit, finish and corrosion protection of your Honda.
Is there a warranty on Genuine Honda Collision Parts?
Yes. Genuine Honda collision parts are covered by our Replacement Warranty.
Do I have the right to know?
Yes. You have the right to know what replacement parts are being used. Ask for proof that “like kind and quality” parts can equal Genuine Honda collision Parts. Chances are, they won’t.
Keep your Honda a Honda with Genuine Honda Collision Parts
In the event of an accident
Know the facts about your insurance
Under no circumstances are you legally obligated to go to the shop your insurance company may suggest. As the vehicle owner it is your right to choose the collision repair facility that you prefer to repair your Honda. Many Honda dealers have their own body shops and can help you through the repair process.
Genuine Honda Parts
There’s nothing like the real thing
Watch out for terms like “Quality Replacement Parts” “LKQ” or “Genuine Imitation” on your vehicle estimate. These are parts that are “similar” to Genuine Honda Parts; However, they are not.
Use only Genuine Honda Collision Parts
Honda collision parts are made to the exact specifications as your new Honda automobile. Every part has been engineered and quality tested to ensure proper fit, finish and durability.
Warranty
Genuine Honda Collision Parts are covered by Honda Canada’s Replacement Parts Limited Warranty. In addition, they’re covered for the remainder of the new car corrosion warranty, coverage that includes parts and labour. Neither salvage nor new imitation parts are covered by any warranty program from Honda Canada, and their use may nullify the warranty of associated parts and systems.

Honda dealers utilize state of the art facilities with the latest high tech equipment. This, combined with factory trained Honda technicians who know what’s best for your vehicle, help to ensure your vehicle is fixed right the first time, for peace of mind motoring. Read on to find out how and why.
(A) Electronic:What makes Honda technical training unique? Honda technicians are kept abreast of the latest evolving technology through distance training programs available through e-Learning. E-Learning allows for timely and on-going training as soon as new models are introduced, and is customized for each associate, with interactive functionality.
(B) Classroom:Honda technicians also participate in special technical training courses where they are challenged to demonstrate both their knowledge and their tactile skills. “Hands on” training insures that Honda technicians are able to keep abreast of technological changes and service procedures.
At Honda “good-enough” is not good enough! Students cannot pass a technical training course by simply listening to a lecture and writing a paper test. A special form of training is used. It is referred to as IST (Individualized Skills Training). What makes IST training so special? Class size is restricted to no more than 8 students and students work at their own pace. Every student must actually demonstrate the skills required before they receive credit for the course. Lectures & tests (passive learning) have been replaced by skill acquisition and skills demonstration (active learning). In this manner we are able to guarantee that the students acquire the knowledge and demonstrate the skills to fix the vehicle right the first time.
At Honda we have entered into partnerships with several community colleges across Canada to sponsor Honda specific apprentice training programs. We donate vehicles, training components, tools, equipment, and expertise. Honda also works closely with the colleges to enrich and continually update our apprentice curriculum so that the students receive the best possible education. In this manner we are able to ensure that our dealers have the “pick of the crop” when it comes to hiring new professional service technicians.
ETecH was designed by Honda Canada’s Technical Tools department to help improve service capability for the Canadian Honda and Acura dealer network. ETecH is a server-based system, accessed by technicians through a rugged, fully mobile tablet PC. Each server runs virtualization software, capable of hosting multiple sessions of Windows and Linux operating systems: a session for each technician using ETecH. With this arrangement, the system is able to provide fully mobile access to all critical tools and information required by a technician in a modern repair environment. This includes access to service publications and bulletins, diagnostic and control module update software, and access to the dealer’s own management system. This ground-up rethinking of how a technician can work without any barriers is reflected in the system’s architecture. ETecH offers several enhancements designed to take your service experience to an entirely new level. Here are just a few of the features that make ETecH technology every bit as advanced as that found in our vehicles:
Unrestricted access to service publications for all technicians
Technology found in today’s vehicles is constantly evolving, creating the need for frequently updated service publications, diagnostic software, and vehicle software. With ETecH, service publications are available the minute new information is published, providing Honda technicians with the confidence of knowing they have the very latest service tools and information on hand at all times. To ensure fast and unimpeded access, every technician is equipped with a wireless tablet device.
Systems linkage
All systems (publications, diagnostics, reprogramming, etc.) are consolidated on ETecH, even including communication with a vehicle through a wireless gateway device. The diagnostic system communicates to a vehicle through this gateway, and can automatically search for any service publications that are relevant to an issue identified with that vehicle. This means that the correct service procedures are available to the technician at their fingertips, and vehicle issues can then be resolved quickly and accurately.
Automatically deployed software updates
Limited diagnostic tools and out-of-date software can hamper a technician’s ability to fix a problem right the first time. ETecH features automatic software deployments that ensure all critical diagnostic functions and vehicle applications are up to date and ready to use. With ETecH, you are assured that your dealership’s service capabilities will always keep pace with the deployment of new vehicle technology.
CM Update keeps your vehicle’s software up-to-date
Today’s advanced vehicles have systems that facilitate software updating in the field. When needed, CM Update (Control Module Update) software provides a means of servicing these systems at the dealership. Certain owner concerns and vehicle issues can be effectively resolved by updates in the form of software revisions. With ETecH, your vehicle’s software can be updated over a wireless connection while other service work is being performed.
ETecH offers the advantage of wireless mobility – even during a test drive
Wireless mobility ensures that Honda technicians can thoroughly inspect complex vehicle systems quickly and easily. ETecH tablet PCs can operate outside of the dealership’s infrastructure network by switching over to a direct wireless connection with the gateway device, providing technicians with diagnostic capability during road tests.
Technical support in real-time
ETecH facilitates technical support from Honda Canada with specialists available to assist troubleshooting difficult problems in real-time. ETecH provides the means to remotely control sessions and diagnostic functions, while working directly with technicians to complete the repair. Diagnostic data is also transmitted for immediate analysis to help work through a problem while the vehicle is at the dealership.
ETecH– The ultimate in automotive service technology and a Canadian innovation.
Every vehicle has specific maintenance needs. That’s why Honda has developed a unique maintenance program for each car they manufacture along with on-board technology that helps you keep track of your vehicles maintenance needs. Following Honda’s comprehensive maintenance schedule will help you make sure your Civic, Accord, Fit, Pilot, Oddysey or CR-V vehicle stays in optimal condition.
You have two ways to ensure that your vehicle will stay running most reliably in accordance with Honda’s official manufacturer guidelines.
Maintenance Minder™ is an on-board technology that monitors a number of variables to determine the best time to bring your Honda in for a Genuine Honda Oil Change. When the remaining life of your car’s oil reaches 15%, a “service due soon” message will appear on your dashboard, accompanied by either a letter “A” or “B” to signify what type of additional service is required.
Depending on your vehicle’s odometer reading, additional service may be required signified by number accompanying the “service due soon” message. Here is an overview of what the different letters and numbers mean and what type of service is due.
“Service Due Soon”
Engine oil life is at 15% and it’s time to bring your Honda in for regular scheduled maintenance.
“A”
Replace engine oil using only Honda Genuine 0W20 engine oil. If the message “Service” does not display after 12 months after being reset, change the engine oil every year.
“B/B1”
“1”
Rotate tires, inspect for wear and adjust pressure.
“2”
“3”
Replace transmission fluid. Driving in mountainous terrain at lower speeds or regularly towing trailers will result in higher transmission temperatures and may require more frequent changing of transmission fluid than recommended by Maintenance Minder™. If you regularly drive in these conditions have the transmission fluid changed every 40,000Km.
“4”
“5”
Replace engine coolant.
SPECIFIC ADDITIONAL REQUIRED MAINTENANCE
Keeping your Honda in great shape is easy with the Maintenance Minder™ and Honda’s extensive scheduled maintenance program.
You can also follow Honda Canada’s recommended service schedule all the way up to 288,000 km, which we?ve attached below. Depending on your particular model, you will be due for regularly scheduled repairs every 6,000 or 8,000 kilometers, approximately every 6 months.

We guarantee you will not find a lower price 0W-20 full synthetic oil change with a genuine Honda oil filter.
ABOUT HONDA 0W-20 FULL SYNTHETIC OIL
Protect your investment by choosing genuine Honda 0W-20 full synthetic engine oil.
Honda 0W-20 oil is a full synthetic formula that provides advanced protection against oil breakdown for a cleaner running engine with less harmful engine deposits. By responding better to temperature extremes, and not breaking down like carbon based oil, synthetic oil lasts longer and is changed less often.
The more slippery nature of synthetic oil also allows the engine to run with less friction and at cooler temperatures for longer engine life and enhanced fuel economy.
Better Fuel Economy
Honda 0W-20 is a low viscosity and full synthetic engine oil specifically formulated for Honda’s low friction engines. An engine that runs more smoothly burns fuel more efficiently. 0W-20’s ultra-low viscosity grade helps to optimize fuel efficiency and improve power.
Example: Based on the Canadian fuel economy guide, the estimated annual fuel cost for a 2010 CR-V is $1,800 with 20,000km driving distance. With 1.5% fuel savings using 0W-20, your annual fuel savings would be $27 compared to 5W-20.
Reduced Engine Wear
Honda 0W-20 engine oil provides advanced protection against oil breakdown and a cleaner running engine. Honda 0W-20 engine oil’s low viscosity allows the oil to flow faster, particularly at engine start up and cold temperature, where most engine wear takes place.
See your Service Advisor for details
When your car is out of alignment, you may experience irregular tire wear, handling problems or a crooked steering wheel. A wheel alignment adjustment can correct these problems and increase fuel economy, prolong tire life and ensure driver assist systems continuing functioning as intended.
Have you recently traded in or purchased a new vehicle? During the winter tire season we get many questions with regards to “Will my set of xyz winter tires and rims fit onto the vehicle I am purchasing”. This is a great question to have as it will save you money if the set of winter tires and rims will fit properly on your recently purchased vehicle.
A few questions we need answers to verify whether they will fit are as follows:
Though these are a few questions that may take some time to answer; these answers will better help us to confirm whether that winter set from your old vehicle will work on your current vehicle.
