One of the most essential services you should get done on your Honda vehicle is an oil change. This keeps your engine healthy and running optimally, plus it helps extend tire life.
When you require an oil change, it is essential that you arrange it as soon as possible. Generally speaking, this should occur every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
Oil Change
Maintaining your vehicle’s maintenance schedule is essential for safe driving on Sharon roads. That is why Honda created the Maintenance Minder, which sends you reminders when certain service tasks need to be completed.
The Honda Maintenance Minder also alerts you when your vehicle’s oil life is nearing its end, so that you can make an appointment for a Honda B1 service. This service includes an oil change and mechanical inspection as well as tire rotations.
Every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, you should get a Honda B1 service. It won’t break your budget, but it is necessary for keeping your Honda running optimally.
When you spot the Honda B1 service code on your dashboard, don’t hesitate to bring your car into our service center. Our expert technicians are dedicated to keeping your Honda running optimally so that you can stay safely on the road.
Tire Rotation
Honda B1 service costs are usually between $21-62 for a routine tire rotation. This includes inspecting your tires, balancing them, and changing between winter and summer tires.
Maintaining your tires is an essential maintenance service to keep them balanced and maximize their life. It also guarantees that the air in your tires isn’t underinflated or overinflated, which could damage them and reduce fuel economy.
To maintain the life of your tires, it’s best to keep them clean and steer clear of roads with harsh conditions. Road hazards like potholes, large curbs, and large puddles of water can significantly reduce tire tread life.
Thankfully, your Honda comes equipped with a maintenance minder that will notify you when certain services need to be completed. For instance, if an oil change is due soon before your tire rotation due date, Honda will automatically move up the service so that it can be completed while still under warranty.
Brake Inspection
Honda provides brake inspections as a service to guarantee your car’s safety and dependability. This inspection includes checking brake pads, rotors, fluid levels and steering and suspension components for looseness or damage.
On average, Honda brake inspection service costs are between $150-250 depending on which dealership you select. This is an incredibly reasonable price point and ensures your car remains in top condition!
Scheduling your brake inspection at the appropriate interval is essential, and can help you steer clear of costly repairs in the future. It is recommended that you get it done every 5,000 miles or six months, whichever occurs first.

Check Engine Light
The check engine light is an indication that your vehicle may have issues with one or more major systems. It could be something as minor as a loose gas cap, or more serious such as an ailing oxygen sensor which could necessitate costly repairs.
When this occurs, the engine control unit stores a special diagnostic trouble code. Mechanics can read this code using an on-board diagnostics (OBD) scanner – which is usually provided as standard equipment in most auto repair shops.
Unfortunately, these cheap OBD scanners cannot give a definitive diagnosis of the issue; rather, they simply read off the “trouble code” and give an approximate location to start looking.
