blue 2024 Honda Accord with new tires driving down road

It’s one of those tasks that some of us tend to put off but rotating the tires on your Honda every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or at another interval if your owner’s manual recommends it, can save you money and keep you safer on the road. Those are two good reasons to make scheduling a tire rotation at your Honda dealer a regular part of your calendar.

5 Benefits of Getting a Tire Rotation at Your Honda Dealer

1. You’ll Extend the Life of Your Tires

Periodically rotating the position of the tires on your vehicle evens out the wear they experience and extends their life. On a typical front-wheel drive vehicle, the front wheels take more of a beating than the rear wheels.

During a rotation, the rear tires are usually moved to the front of the vehicle, and the front tires are moved back. Rotating your tires doesn’t take long to do. It can usually be done in less than an hour, and we frequently rotate tires during oil changes.

Vehicle alternator

Are you having trouble starting your car, or are your electric components acting strangely? You might need an alternator repair from your Honda dealer. There are lots of signs that crop up when there’s an issue with the alternator, but they’re pretty easy to spot, so let’s go into some of them in detail below.

5 Signs You Need Alternator Repair from Your Honda Dealer

1. The Vehicle Won’t Start

If your car won’t start, then it’s either your battery or your alternator’s fault. There’s a relatively easy way to figure out which component is to blame. If you can jump-start the car and it stays on, then you’re probably having battery issues and should get that checked out. If you jump-start the car and it switches off again not long afterward, then the alternator is most likely the problem.

Close-up view of brakes being repaired

While driving, your brakes are your vehicle’s number-one safety feature. It’s therefore essential to keep your brake pads, rotors, calipers, and hoses in tip-top condition at all times. If you ever notice the following indications of trouble, visit your nearest Honda dealership for brake repair right away.

6 Signs Your Honda Needs a Brake Repair

Leaking Brake Fluid

Brake hoses are filled with brake fluid, which maintains hydraulic pressure and allows your foot on the pedal to send the stopping signal to the brake calibers. If your brake fluid ever leaks, this hydraulic pressure will be reduced, which might interfere with your ability to stop your car. Always keep an eye out for a puddle of leaking brake fluid on the ground when you pull away from parking.

Radiator Repair and Replacement

Your radiator has one of the ​​​​​​​​most strenuous roles of any of the engine components. The radiator is responsible for removing heat from your engine by heat exchange. Engine heat is captured by liquid coolant and transferred to the radiator. Inside the radiator, the heat is removed by cooler air from the radiator grille flowing over the hot coolant.

The radiator operates under conditions of extreme heat and pressure. In the long term, these conditions can lead to metal fatigue, damage to radiator hoses, or coolant leaks. A radiator that’s not operating at peak performance can rapidly cause your engine to overheat. If your temperature gauge rises, call our service department right away. Depending on the situation, we’ll repair our radiator or install a new one for you.
