Can I bring my Honda to you instead of the dealership?
Yes. We specialize in Honda vehicles and handle the same repairs the dealership does — usually for much less and with faster turnaround times.
Do you use genuine Honda parts?
We use high-quality OEM or OEM-equivalent parts depending on what the repair requires. If you prefer genuine Honda parts only, just let us know.
How do I know if my Honda needs diagnostics?
If you have a check engine light, strange noise, rough idle, vibration, overheating, or a sudden change in performance, diagnostics are the right first step.
How often should I service my Honda?
Most Hondas follow a 3k–4k service interval for oil changes and need major inspections around 30k, 60k, and 100k miles. We can look up your exact maintenance schedule.
How long does most Honda repair take?
Most repairs like brakes, alternators, diagnostics, and suspension can be done the same day. Larger jobs like timing belts may need the vehicle for a full day.
