Maintenance Tips for High-Mileage Vehicles in Houston, TX
Driving across Houston can take a toll on any car, but high-mileage vehicles need even more care! Learn about how to tend to your older Honda in this overview. Afterward, visit Easy Honda at our nearby location to get quality maintenance from our Service Department.
Oil
One of the most vital fluids in any car, truck, or SUV is motor oil. This allows its engine to function freely without creating too much friction or heat during the process of combustion. Without properly changed oil, you run the risk of damaging the motor under the hood of your Honda Civic, Accord, or CR-V. A newer model may be able to last up to 7,500 miles, but more seasoned vehicles should consider getting a new batch more frequently. By reducing the duration between oil changes to once every 3,000 to 4,000 miles, you can prolong the life of your car and even save fuel during your trips to Hermann Park.
Brakes and Transmission Fluids
There are fluids in your car that must be tended at regular intervals. For example, the brake fluid should be swapped after about 30,000 miles, as it will absorb moisture from the air and become less effective. If you notice a lack of stopping power as you head down Interstate 69, it may be time to get new brake fluid. Also, the transmission fluid should be changed around the same time. It keeps the gearbox lubricated and makes it possible to go from park to drive. Before heading out on your daily adventures, look under the car for any fluid leaks that may require immediate attention. Contact us if you see pools of brightly colored liquid.
Exterior
The age of a car is not only dependent on the components under the hood, but also on its outer appearance. The paint may fade over long periods of time, but chips and scratches can be tended to with ease. If you leave these by the wayside, you risk rust damage spreading to other areas of the exterior. Washing the vehicle regularly can reveal spots that need to be touched up. Furthermore, the wiper blades should be changed every year to avoid any scratches on the windshield.

“ Excellent experience with the used car buying department at Easy Honda yesterday. Shout out to Gabriel who provided great hospitality, a smooth buying process, and made us feel comfortable with our purchase. Came away with a Hybrid CR-V 2023 priced competitively and the features and mileage are just what our family needed. We did our research before arriving about dealer add ons and the carfax, we also got preapproved financing so we knew what to expect. Altogether we were there for approximately 3 hrs on a Saturday and they were very busy, it flew by. They had popcorn, coffee, cocoa, and water for guests. I would recommend others looking for a fair deal and quality experience to strongly consider this dealership. ”

“ Chris Hunter did an excellent job as sales consultant! Specifically, he was a great listener, answered all my questions patiently in the showroom and during the test drive, and clearly showed great ability to put people at ease about the process of making a car-buying decision. I would recommend him and the Easy Honda dealership for anyone looking to buy a Honda. ”
“ I absolutely love the experience. I didn’t think I was going to be able to find a better Honda dealership than the one I already have, but it was in Irving, Texas. Nevertheless, I ran into a gentleman named Jermaine. He can somehow read his customer’s needs and find the perfect vehicle for them. I don’t know how but he did it. I am so happy with my new car. It meets all of my needs. ”

“ Starting off the new year in a new civic! Was looking to get myself a new ride, was called in by a manager named Jeremy. I was wanting to go in asap so I went in after our phone call. Handed me off to a sales guy named Andrew, who really helped me out and made sure I was taken care of. He was able to get me in the car I originally inquired on. The finance manager Amanda, she’s very knowledgeable on how banks work. She. made the signing easy for me and no stress! I’ve bought cars before from other places and this was the best experience. See why they call it Easy Honda, the best experience is here ”
