When it comes to car maintenance, you have a lot of tools in the toolbox to make your car go further for longer with fewer problems. And with the legendary reliability of Hondas, perhaps the single most important maintenance action you can take is scheduling regular vehicle inspections with your Honda dealer. But what exactly goes into a regular inspection visit?
Interior Inspection
Don’t worry, we’re not looking for empty candy wrappers or dirty floors; our team isn’t here to judge. Instead, we’re checking in on vehicle functionality, including cabin and dashboard lights, making sure the horn and parking brake work as intended, and making sure your vehicle does exactly what you expect every time you turn it on.
Exterior Inspection
Our crew will do a walk-around of the vehicle, checking all the ways your Honda interacts with the outside world. For example, our team will evaluate your windshield wiper blades and windshield spray pattern to make sure your wipers work correctly. We’ll also check your headlights, brake lights, hazard lights, and turn signals to make sure all your bulbs or LEDs are working properly and that you’re as safe as can be on the road.
Under the Hood
Making sure your Honda is road-ready is a top priority during an inspection. Our team will look for any leaking lines and inspect fluid levels, including engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and even the windshield wiper fluid level. These crucial fluids keep your Honda working smoothly and performing as expected. Power steering, anti-lock brakes, and transmission are all evaluated for efficacy.
Making sure your battery is in good shape is important, too, especially in the winter or the hottest parts of the summer, when demand on your vehicle is greatest. Of course, your Honda needs to breathe just like you do, so our team will gladly take a look at both the engine air filter and the cabin air filter, to make sure both you and your car get the fresh clean air you need.
Under the Body
Checking your Honda’s brakes is essential in keeping you safe on the road. Our team will check your front and rear brake pads, discs, and calipers, along with the condition of your tire treads. The exhaust system will get a check-up, too. The steering and suspension will get a good looking over, including links, arms and tie rods, struts, ball joints, and coils to make sure your Honda handles the roads the way it’s supposed to.
Now that you know what to expect when our team inspects, it’s time to get your Honda in for a check-up. Book your inspection today at Honda of New Rochelle in New Rochelle, NY conveniently accessible from the Bronx and Westchester, and let our team of experts help your Honda stay on the road worry-free.
