At your Honda dealership, we have Honda-trained technicians and Honda-approved replacement parts to ensure your vehicle is maintained in prime condition. We'd like you to know about some services we offer to achieve this. more Tire Rotations Tires suffer wear and tear daily due to surface friction. This is unavoidable, but they also suffer damage depending on their position on your Honda. Each tire position generates a specific wear pattern due to wheel alignment and weight distribution. If tires continue to damage specific tread areas, they wear out faster and place additional strain on the axles, struts, and shocks. We offer tire rotations to prevent these issues. Our technicians remove your tires and move each tire to a new position on your Honda. The specific positions tires move to depend on your drivetrain, as FWD, RWD, and AWD all generate different types of wear. Rotating the tires allows them to wear down at a relatively even rate. Transmission Servicing The transmission is one of the hardest working systems in your Honda. It takes energy produced by the engine and transfers it to the wheels to enable them to move at the required speed. Many transmission components depend on friction to work effectively, and this gradually causes wear and tear. In addition, the high temperature inside the transmission will cause components to wear out in time. Your Honda, depending on your model, needs a transmission service every 50,000 to 100,000 miles. A service enables our technicians to identify and repair potential issues before they develop into serious problems. We replace the transmission fluid and install a new filter to ensure the transmission works effectively. All its internal components are tested and examined, and we'll advise on any that need replacement. A healthy transmission can also prevent engine damage and prevent costly repairs. Spark Plug Replacement The spark plugs ignite the fuel-air mixture in the cylinders. Healthy spark plugs ensure the compressed fuel-air mixture is correctly ignited in a precisely timed series of mini explosions that generate the energy to move your vehicle. These plugs age and can also be damaged by other issues like a fuel-rich engine. Worn plugs prevent the mixture from burning correctly, and this causes misfires or can stall your Honda. Regular misfiring damages the cylinders and pistons, and can result in long-term engine damage and a reduced lifespan for your vehicle. Plugs are quick and inexpensive to replace and will help your engine work efficiently. Contact our service department today at Leskovar Honda in Butte, MT.
