Recommended Service Intervals

When To Service My Honda?

Schedule regular vehicle service to ensure the longest life expectancy and smoothest driving capabilities from your vehicle. Every model Honda depends on regular professional service to keep the parts and components working efficiently. Wear and tear, weather, and other damage can leave your vehicle in danger of breakdown and the need for expensive repair. Follow the recommended service schedule and many of those worries are gone. Check with the owner’s manual accommodating your vehicle to learn when to schedule service. For most Honda models, a 15-30-60-90 schedule is recommended for best results.

Every 3,000 to 7,000 miles, schedule an oil change. It is one of the most important and beneficial services that a driver can provide to their vehicle. However, do not disclude the importance of servicing the remaining parts underneath the hood to keep the vehicle at its best. Regular vehicle service minimizes the need for repair, prolongs vehicle lifetime, increases the resell value, and reduces vehicle emissions. It is worth scheduling services per recommendations from your vehicle manufacturer.
