Honda Service Keeping Your Reliable Car Reliable

Hondas are said to be one of the most reliable cars available in the marketplace today. Alongside Toyota, people buy Hondas because they want a car that will always trundle home somehow, no matter what has happened to it! If you own a Honda, there are several Honda- specific issues that your mechanic should be aware of. Today, we're looking at how to choose your car service provider or mechanic if you own a Honda, and some of the issues that these little cars have.

Honda car service – what to look for

If you are searching for a new mechanic to take care of your Honda (whether it is new or used), there are a few things you should take in to consideration.

* Does the mechanic do log book scheduled servicing for your model of Honda? This is a great indicator that the company is familiar with your model of car and the manufacturer's requirements for keeping it in good shape. Even if you own an older version of the model and don't need log book servicing, this is a good sign that you've chosen the right mechanic.
* If you own a hybrid Civic, is the mechanic familiar with working on hybrid engines?
* As with vetting all mechanics, look at whether they provide a written quote before starting work, whether they offer a warranty on both parts and labour, and how far (in time, kilometers, or distance) that warranty extends

Popular models of Honda

Every model of Honda that a mechanic works on helps them get a better understanding of the make in general. If your mechanic has worked on the following popular models of Honda, you can be confident about their ability to do a good job on your car repairs:

* Accord
* CR-V
* Breee
* Civic
* CRX
* HR-V
* Integra
* Jaz
* Legend
* MDX
* Odyssey
* Prelude

The Honda Care Program – Right for You?

Honda offers an in-house servicing and reapir program for their cars – the Honda Care Program. You buy a plan (of which there are varying levels), in order to get things like:

* Roadside assistance
* Concierge emergency service
* Rental car reimbursement
* Trip interruption allowance
* Comprehensive component coverage

The Honda Care program is sort of like auto club membership. You pay for coverage for a specified period (usually a combination of years and kilometers driven, whichever comes first), and the benefits are available to you. However, if you don't need any servicing in that time, the money is wasted.

Look past the dealers

If you've just bought a new Honda, you don't have to go back to the dealer to have it serviced or repaired. Going to a third party will have no effect on your new car warranty – this has been guaranteed by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. However, you should always ensure that you new Honda service is done according to manufacturer's specifications – the term ‘log book servicing' indicates that your mechanic does this.

Do most Honda preludes see over 200,000 miles?

I've been looking at the 97-01 preludes lately (beautiful cars), but it seems like theres alot with blown motors at 150,000 miles. I dont know if its cause bad maintenance or what, I have read the h22a burns oil if u use the vtec alot (reving to 5200 rpm alot). Just wanna run it past someone who knows more bout em. I love Hondas and all mine ran forever, civic, 2 accords, crx and my acura integra.

I dunno what the first guy is talking about, i have a heavy foot and im flying by 125,000 miles already. The car will last you 200,000 miles (i know a guy in our Honda Prelude club who has a 97 prelude 5-speed with 275,000 miles on it and original engine and transmission. I love my 98 prelude, but i've had a transmission problem in the past (had to have it replaced) but that was because that was expected as i am heavy footed and drove the car very hard. The automatic transmissions have problems anyways on the 97-01 ludes, so if u get one, make sure its a manual - those will last you a lot longer. The H22 does burn oil a lot if you always get it into VTEC (mine burns about 1-2 quarts every 2,000 miles). I've never seen anyone have a common motor problem around 150k like you said. I'm in a prelude club and the top 2 reasons for a blown motor on the H22 are A) misshifting B) Red lining for too long. Other then that, there's no common issue or anything that causes the engine to fail around 150k miles. I love my prelude (altho i wish it was the manual) and i'll keep it because i've seen so many people in our club pass 200,000 miles. Most of us the members are between 130k-160k miles i'd say.
