Get a Jump On Winter - Have Your Honda Serviced Soon!

With harsh winter weather ahead, it's more important than ever to keep your Honda running smooth and clean. The folks at The Import Shop want to remind everyone to consider these preventative measures:

Be sure to keep a Winter Road Safety Bag in the trunk containing a blanket, flashlight with batteries, jumper cables, roadside flares, two quarts of oil, antifreeze, washer fluid, basic tools such as a Phillips head screwdriver and pliers, socket wrenches, duct tape, a roll of paper towels, an ice scraper, cat litter or sand (for tire traction,) and a first aid kit. You may also want to take along some bottled water for a road trip. You may never need it, but it's better to be safe than stranded without the proper equipment.

When you're not on the road, be sure to schedule an appointment with The Import Shop (913) 677-2176 for the following:

Oil Changes - Bring your Honda in for an oil change about every 3,000 miles.

Flush Fluids - Have all fluids including transmission, brake, and antifreeze flushed and changed every 30,000 miles.

Tune-ups - For Hondas starting at 2000 and newer, a tune-up, which includes a spark plug change, should be done every 90,000 miles. For Hondas older than 2000, the tune-up would entail a new distributor cap, rotor, and spark plugs.

Belts and Hoses - While your Honda is in the shop for maintenance, be sure to ask if any hoses or belts are showing signs of wear. This would be the perfect time to catch a worn belt or hose before it breaks on the road!

We also want to remind everyone that The Import Shop repairs Honda models including:

Civic
Accord
Prelude
Element
Acura
Integra
CRV
Ridgeline
Odyssey
Pilot
