My Car Needs Maintenance…But Is Service THAT Important?

You often hear about the importance of keeping up with Honda service—but how critical is auto maintenance? In short, taking your car to the service center is one of the easiest ways to help your ride cruise far beyond the 100,000-mile marker while helping each drive feel like you’re cruising with a new vehicle. But what services are the best and why do they matter? Stick with us today as we cover the basics of auto care—and get started by scheduling your service at Honda of Sarasota, your local Honda service center near Bradenton, FL.

Where Does Honda Maintenance Start?

When it comes to your car care, one of the best starting points involves keeping up with your Honda oil changes. Even if you don’t drive often, getting this service every 10,000 miles or annually helps lubricate the finer parts of your powertrain, which reduces the friction from metal parts rubbing against each other. So, if you skip this service enough, you’ll experience early wear and tear from your engine, which quickly snowballs into a slippery slope of auto issues and service center visits.

Next, you’ll want to not only keep up with tire replacements but you’ll want to also help extend your tire life with rotations and balancing. While tire service seems simple, switching the location of each tire set helps keep your wear and tear to a minimum, which assists in reducing the balding of your tread that eventually leads to excess hydroplaning, sliding, and in extreme cases, blowouts on the road where you spin out of control—so, for your tires, maintenance helps keep your safety on point.

After you take care of your tires, we recommend scheduling battery service and having your power source tested. If your battery runs out of power, you can’t crank your motor, which effectively leaves you stranded until you get a jump start—and you don’t want to miss a critical meeting at work because of a drained battery—so, request for our team to charge up and replace your power source when needed.

At least once a year, we recommend a diagnostic test to help ensure everything is running as planned. If you skip this service, hidden red flags like a potential misfiring cylinder can catch up with you, which if ignored for too long, can cause your vehicle to become undrivable.
