Do I really need new brakes? by
[email protected]
Went to the Honda dealer for an oil change and they told me I need:
"Replace front brake pads and machine rotors"
Is it standard procedure to machine the rotors when replacing pads?
Otherwise, why would I need it?
This car only has 14,337 miles (city miles) and the brakes seem fine
and are not...

Can I switch back to synthetic oil without flushing? by
A. Nonimus
Okay, here's the deal, bear with me it may be hard to explain:
At around (just guessing) 5000 miles I had my new Honda serviced and
they recommended I change the oil because even though it was only 5000
miles it was over a year old. They explained that this would make the
car run better and last...

Door guard to prevent dings/dents on Honda? by
Neil Jones[_3_]
Hi,
I bought a 2009 Honda Civic coupe. The 2 doors are big as in all
coupes. However, this Honda does not have any side protection to prevent
dents/dings from my car or others in a parking lot. Do they sell any
such protection guards online? Are they easy to install it by myself?
Thank you for...

ridgeline wiper question by
trailer[_2_]
About a month after I had purchased my new 08 Ridgeline we had a heavy
snowfall. As the snow built up in my lower windshield area the wipers
ceased to work, apparently because the wipers could not reach the bottom of
their cycle. The snow buildup in the lower windshield area prevented the...

Oil Change Frequency by
Mel P.[_2_]
Up until I got my 2009 Civic, I would change oil in my cars every 3K miles.
Now with the car's 'maintenance minder", it shows the oil life left which
is 5-7K miles.
If I REALLY can go by it, I have no problems.
Just asking if it will wear the engine out quicker.
thanks,

passer-by who identified himself as trained in Honda repairs helped
her. After looking under the hood he said it wasn't getting gas. He
opened the trunk and...

Failing 2002 Odyssey trans by

Honda previously offered 25% accommodation on this replacement. I
pursued this through my dealership's GM, and Honda has now upped that
offer to 50%.
I could try to chase after this through Honda corporate, but I've
decided to fix the car with the offer that's on the table and move on.

Fluid change necessary? by
Michael[_19_]
I have a 2000 accord, 60K. My dealer tells me I need to flush and re-
fill brake and transmission fluid at 100 and 50 dollars. It was done
at 30K. Is this really necessary and that expensive>?
TIA.

I have a 2006 diesel CRV CDTI. We left it in the garage for three weeks
with all doors locked and deadlocked via the remote. When we went to use

Read this before you buy by
Tom Adams
ESC is considered to be the greatest advance in safety since the
seatbelt. It will be required on all 2012 cars, but it's still
optional or not available on some 2010 and 2011 models:
