Maintain Your Honda

Why service your vehicle at a Honda dealership?

• They work on all Hondas. That means all models, years and mileages. They are the experts.
• Only dealership staff can get current training directly from Honda Canada.
  Only dealerships get up-to-date technical resources for the model and year of your vehicle.
• Dealers use Genuine Honda Parts. You know they will fit right, function properly and last a long time.
• Dealers maintain a large inventory and can get parts overnight. They work with you to properly care for your vehicle. At your request, they'll take a drive with you, at the time of drop-off and when you pick it up, to ensure that you're completely satisfied.
• A quality-control check is conducted on the dealership's warranty work, so you can be assured that your vehicle will be fixed right the first time.
• A guarantee on maintenance and repair work. American Honda backs all Genuine Honda replacement parts with a limited warranty of 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Why shouldn't you service your vehicle at a non-Honda shop?

• You can't be sure it'll be fixed right.
• If the work being done isn't what American Honda actually requires for the model and year of your vehicle, you can't compare its value with the same work done by a Honda dealership.
• If they aren't using Genuine Honda Parts, warranty-related coverage may be jeopardized (while your vehicle is still under warranty).
• If they say their mechanics are properly trained, ask how long ago the training was.

Are they keeping up with the rapidly changing technology of Honda vehicles?

• If they aren't familiar with the latest product update and product improvement campaigns, they may not do the required work.
• More important, you may not receive the warranty work you may be entitled to.
• By having the Service Department of an authorized Honda Dealer maintain your vehicle, you help prevent breakdowns and minimize unplanned repairs.

After all, who knows your Honda better?
