Honda Services

What We Do on Hondas

Transmission Service

CVT fluid, automatic transmission fluid, manual transmission gear oil. Honda CVTs need fluid changes more often than most people realize.

Timing Belt & Water Pump

Older Accord and Odyssey V6 engines use a timing belt. We replace belt, water pump, and tensioners together.

Suspension & Alignment

Struts, lower control arms, wheel bearings, alignment. Civic struts in particular wear predictably around 70-80k.

A/C Service

Recharge, leak test, compressor, condenser. Honda A/C compressors have a known failure rate on higher-mileage models.

We've been working on cars in this neighborhood since 1993. The shop has changed, the tools have changed, but the location and the standards haven't.

FAQ

Honda Questions

My Honda has a CVT. Do you service those?

Yes. CVT fluid changes are something Honda underspecifies in the owner's manual — we recommend every 30k in normal driving, sooner if you do a lot of stop-and-go. Neglected CVT fluid is the most common reason CVTs fail early.

Can you work on Honda hybrids?

Yes. Insight, Accord Hybrid, CR-V Hybrid — we handle hybrid battery diagnostics and standard maintenance on all of them.

My check engine light came on. Can you tell me what's wrong before I commit to a repair?

That's exactly what we do. We diagnose first, explain what we found, and give you a quote. No obligation to proceed.

Do you do Honda key programming?

Yes. Smart keys, traditional key fobs, push-button start systems — we have OEM Honda programming software.

My Honda Odyssey sliding door is giving me trouble. Do you handle that?

Power sliding door issues are electrical/mechanical, so yes — we diagnose and repair those.
