You are preparing to load up your car and hit the road for a fun road trip, but is your vehicle as ready as you are? Before you set out on your next adventure, schedule Honda service. Honda Van Nuys lists some essentials and tips to protect you and your vehicle this summer.
Check All Fluid Levels
Motor Oil: Schedule a Honda service for oil changes to ensure the oil adequately lubricates, cools, and protects your engine.
Brake Fluid: Proper brake fluid levels can mean safely stopping and avoiding accidents. Check with Honda service if you observe any leaking fluid or hear squeaking brakes.
Radiator Fluid: To avoid unexpected breakdowns, check your coolant, ensuring the fluid level is right and has the correct antifreeze mixture.
Wiper Fluid: Often overlooked, the windshield wiper fluid reservoir is necessary for effectively cleaning windshields splattered with insects, dust, mud, and other debris that impedes visibility and safe driving.
Inspect Tires and Wheels
Tires that are worn should be replaced. Even if they’re in good shape, they should be rotated periodically (we suggest doing this with every oil change). Wheel alignment is also worth inspecting and adjusting.
Miscellaneous Items to Check
Not every check requires a service center. Inspect your car’s headlights, brake lights, tire pressure, and cabin filter. If you’re coming in for an inspection, visit our parts department for essentials like a first aid kit and jumper cables.
