Get Your Car Ready for Winter Weather with Honda Service

Winter weather can bring new car maintenance challenges. Make it through the season with ease by getting your vehicle serviced in preparation for cooler temperatures, precipitation, and slick roads that winter weather can bring. more General Readiness Since winter tends to be more demanding on your vehicle than other seasons, you'll want to make sure you're up to date on preventative maintenance, including inspecting your exhaust system and filters, ensuring your fan belts and hoses are working properly, making sure your front and rear lights are bright enough, changing your oil, and more. Your Honda service and repair center can also take care of maintenance that's especially helpful in winter, including flushing your coolant and checking for leaks to keep your engine from freezing in cold temperatures, checking your climate control system to make sure your heater and defroster are working properly, and checking your windshield wiper fluid and blades so you can keep your windshield clear during inclement weather. Battery Inspection Car batteries tend to have more difficulty operating during winter, so it's important to make sure that your battery is powerful enough to withstand colder temperatures without being drained. A technician can test your battery's voltage. Keep in mind that a problem you might not notice in warmer months can become a major issue when it's cold out. If your battery is weak, the service center will be able to change it for you. Tire Care If you're already considering replacing your all-season tires, doing so before cold weather sets in will give you the best possible traction on cold or wet pavement. Depending on your needs, you can get winter tires, which are more flexible in cold weather than all-season tires. A Honda service center technician can also check the air pressure and tread on your current tires to make sure they're safe, as well as rotate them to ensure even wear. Brake System Inspection Winter can be rough on your brakes. Having your brake pads and linings checked for excessive wear (and replaced if necessary) is important for your safety. You may want to have your entire braking system inspected since moisture and salt are prone to working their way in during winter, decreasing your braking efficiency. Regardless of the season, it's always a good idea to schedule preventative maintenance. With Honda service, you can drive away confident that your battery, tires, and brakes are ready for whatever winter throws your way. Schedule a service appointment at Rick Roush Honda and our team of highly trained technicians will make sure your car is ready for the road this winter. Image via

5 Benefits of Getting a Tire Rotation for Your Honda

Have you ever wondered why we over here at your local Honda dealer emphasize getting your tires rotated during routine maintenance? It's because tire rotation is not just another item on your vehicle's maintenance checklist; it's an important step to make sure your Honda runs smoothly and safely. more Extended Tire Life One of the most significant benefits of regularly rotating your tires is extended tire life. Tires don't wear evenly, because the front tires bear more weight and handle more of the steering and braking forces. By rotating your tires, you distribute these forces more evenly across all four tires, helping them wear at a similar rate. This prolongs the life of your tires and saves you money in the long run, as you won't need to replace them as often. Improved Performance and Safety Getting your tires rotated regularly also enhances your vehicle's performance and safety. Evenly worn tires provide better traction and handling, which is especially important in adverse weather conditions. When your tires have uneven wear, it can lead to poor handling and even increase the risk of tire failure. Regular rotation ensures your Honda remains stable and responsive, no matter the road conditions. Better Fuel Efficiency Did you know that uneven tires can lead to increased fuel consumption? When your tires are unevenly worn, your Honda's engine needs to work harder to move the car, leading to higher fuel consumption. By keeping your tires rotated and evenly worn, you ensure that your vehicle runs as efficiently as possible, saving you money at the gas pump. Enhanced Comfort and Reduced Noise Uneven tire wear can cause vibrations and increased road noise, leading to a less comfortable driving experience. Regular rotation of the tires helps maintain even tire wear, which means your ride is smoother, and it's quieter inside the vehicle. You'll notice the difference, especially on longer drives. Maintaining Warranty and Reducing Future Costs Many tire manufacturers require regular rotation of the tires as part of their warranty conditions. Skipping this service could void your tire warranty, leaving you unprotected against defects or premature wear. Additionally, regular rotations can prevent more severe and costly repairs down the line, as uneven tires can put extra strain on your vehicle's suspension and brakes. Getting your car's tires rotated might seem like a small part of vehicle maintenance, but its impact is significant. From extending tire life to improving safety and performance, a simple rotation can go a long way toward keeping your Honda running smoothly and efficiently. Call Rick Roush Honda today to set up an appointment to get your tires checked and rotated. Image via

Four Maintenance Tips to Get Your Honda Road Trip Ready

Before you set out on a road trip, you must make sure your Honda is prepared to travel a long distance. The last thing you want is to have a mechanical breakdown when you should be having fun with family or friends. Check out some routine Honda maintenance that can ensure your vehicle is roadworthy before your next adventure. more 1. Refresh Your Fluids and Lubricants There are a lot of chemicals beneath your hood that are responsible for lubricating the various elements of your vehicle. One of the most important fluids to check before a road trip is the motor oil in your engine. If your motor oil is low or dirty, it will not be able to properly lubricate your engine, and you may run into problems such as low fuel economy or engine failure. The brake fluid, transmission fluid, and radiator coolant are also important to check before a long trip. For your brake system to function properly, there must be enough fluid in the brake line. Likewise, a radiator that is low on coolant means your engine is vulnerable to overheating, which can seriously delay your trip. Low transmission fluid can also cause a problem on a trip. 2. Check Your Hoses and Belts Typically, the hoses and belts in your engine will last for several years before they need to be replaced. However, if you are about to drive long distances, then you will be generating more heat in your engine. If your hoses and belts aren't in good condition, long-term heat exposure can cause a breakdown if these elements break. 3. Assess Your Tire Tread and Air Pressure Before a road trip, you must double-check that your tires are in good condition. Low air pressure and low tire tread can both spell trouble on the road. If you want to avoid a blowout on your trip, you should schedule a tire rotation or replace your tires if the tread is too low. 4. Test Your Brakes In addition to brake fluid, you will need to ensure your brakes are prepared for a long trip. Specifically, you will need to ask a mechanic to check the health of your brake pads and rotors. It might be a good idea to replace brake pads before a trip, so you don't run into any issues. When you are planning a road trip, you must plan for more than your route and preferred pit stops. By thinking ahead and scheduling routine maintenance before your road trip, you will be able to enjoy peace of mind on the open road.

5 Winter Car Maintenance Tips to Get Your Honda Ready for Winter

Is your car ready for the winter? Ohio winters typically bring cold temperatures and heavy snowfall, and it's important to maintain your vehicle so that it performs safely and reliably in those conditions. Your local Honda dealer specializes in providing winter car maintenance. more 1. Change Your Oil An oil change is an important service at any time of year, but it's especially essential as cold weather sets in. That's because cold temperatures slow down the flow of your oil, putting more stress on your engine and leaving it less lubricated. Scheduling an oil change ensures that your engine stays happy and healthy during the winter months. 2. Check Your Antifreeze Liquid antifreeze regulates the temperature of your engine and keeps the water in your radiator from freezing. Antifreeze is used in vehicles year-round, but during the winter the blend of water and antifreeze is adjusted to rely a little more heavily on the antifreeze chemical. If you don't use antifreeze, or if you allow it to run low, your engine could overheat or seize up. 3. Refresh Your Washer Fluid and Windshield Wipers Visibility is key when you're navigating snowy, foggy, wet roads. Before winter sets in, have your windshield wiper blades and your windshield wiping fluid level checked. Given the severity of our winters, you may even want to consider having winter wiper blades installed as well as a special cold-weather cleaning fluid. Speaking of your windshield, make sure your defroster is functioning well. 4. Check Your Battery Car batteries have a lifespan, and most will need to be replaced after three or four years. If you've had your current battery for a couple of years, it's a good idea to have it tested before winter comes. No one wants to be stranded on the side of the road in snowy conditions, and you can usually avoid that if you're proactive about maintaining your battery and replacing it before it dies. Now is also a good time to make sure you have an emergency kit in your car that includes jumper cables as well as a blanket, a flashlight, an emergency warning triangle, and other essentials. 5. Check Your Tires Heading into winter, you'll want to make sure your tires are capable of gripping roads that have become slippery with snow and ice. To get good traction, your tires will need to be properly inflated and still have plenty of tread. The service department at your local dealership can inspect your tires and make any service recommendations before winter. A few simple steps are all it takes to ensure safe driving during the cold-weather season. When you're ready to get your car, truck, or SUV in shape for the winter, schedule a service appointment at Rick Roush Honda. Image via

6 Signs Your Honda Has a Faulty Ignition Coil

Your ignition coils help get your vehicle's engine started, so a faulty ignition coil can cause an array of different problems. If you're struggling to get your Honda to start, or if you notice any of the other signs we're going to talk about below, then you'll need to stop in at your Honda dealer for a repair. more 1. Your Honda Feels Sluggish If one or more of your ignition coils aren't working properly, then your Honda won't be able to perform as powerfully as usual. The car may feel sluggish to drive, or you may not be able to accelerate as quickly as you used to. This is usually one of the first signs that one of the ignition coils is faulty, so you should head to the dealer before any other issues arise. 2. Your Honda Is Jerking and Backfiring When an ignition coil isn't working properly, unused fuel can pass through your exhaust system and ignite. This can make your car jerk when you hit the accelerator, and it can also make your car start backfiring. A jerky car in traffic can be jarring and dangerous in traffic, so get to a dealer as soon as you can. 3. Your Honda Is Taking Longer to Start Your ignition coils convert the voltage supplied by your battery into a higher voltage that's strong enough to get your engine to turn over. If one of the coils isn't working properly, then you've got fewer coils at work to convert the voltage and get your engine to turn over. This can make starting the engine take longer. If most or all of your coils fail, then your engine might not start at all. 4. Your Honda Is Stalling Your car might start stalling when you've got a faulty coil, and that's definitely not something you want to happen in heavy traffic. If you're also having trouble starting the engine, then stalling can be even more of a problem. 5. Your Honda Is Misfiring Your Honda might start misfiring when you accelerate, stop, or are idling when you've got a problem with one of your ignition coils. Misfiring can damage your car's catalytic converter, so they're definitely a reason to head to the dealer ASAP. 6. Your Honda's Check Engine Light Is On If an engine-shaped orange light appears on your dashboard, then there's an issue under the hood. Your ignition coils may be faulty, or it may be another problem entirely. Now that you know what happens when you have a broken ignition coil, you'll know when to stop by the dealer. Come by Rick Roush Honda if you've got any problems, and make sure you come by at least once a year, so we can check out and tune up your Honda as needed. Image via

6 2021 Honda Models With IIHS Top Safety Ratings

When deciding on a used car model, safety is an important consideration. For the 2021 model year, 6 Honda models received top safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Learn more about the models that received these top honors and the safety features you'll enjoy when you drive one. more The Six Honda Models The six Honda vehicles that earned a top safety rating from the IIHS range from sedans to SUVs, which means you'll have no problems finding a model that suits your needs. The Civic sedan, Civic hatchback, and CR-V all nabbed the IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK (TSP) rating for 2021. Additionally, the Insight, Accord, and Odyssey all achieved the premier TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) rating. How to Earn a Top Safety Rating In order to earn a 2021 TSP rating from the IIHS, a vehicle must score "Good" on all crash test modes, including the difficult passenger-side small overlap test. The vehicle must also earn a "Good" or "Acceptable" rating on the available headlights and an "Advanced" or "Superior" rating on front crash prevention in both vehicle-on-pedestrian and vehicle-on-vehicle tests. To achieve a TSP+ rating, vehicles must pass all of the same safety tests as the TSP rating plus earn a "Good" or "Acceptable" rating on the standard headlights. Honda Sensing Technologies One reason these six models earned top IIHS safety ratings is that they all come standard with Honda Sensing technologies. Honda Sensing is a collection of driver-assistive and safety technology equipment that can help you feel like you have another set of eyes on the road. These standard safety features include collision mitigation braking, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, forward collision warning, lane-keep assist, lane departure warning, and traffic sign recognition. In addition to these features, every Honda model on the top safety list also comes standard with automatic high-beam headlights and a multi-angle rearview camera. For added peace of mind, you'll find other available safety features on these vehicles, such as Honda LaneWatch, a blind-spot information system, and a rear cross-traffic monitor. Other Top Safety Features These six Honda models didn't earn IIHS top safety ratings just because of their standard Honda Sensing safety features. They also include a variety of active and passive safety features. Every model comes with Honda's exclusive Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure, which is designed to protect passengers during a frontal collision. Other features you'll find in Honda vehicles that can safeguard occupants in a collision include advanced SmartVent front airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor, and three-point seat belts with an automatic tensioning system. Plus, for better handling and more precise stopping, the vehicles come standard with vehicle stability assist with traction control, anti-lock brakes, brake assist, and electronic brake distribution.

Car AC Not Working? Visit Your Honda Dealership Today

The summers in Ohio can get pretty hot. No driver wants to be caught with their car AC not working while commuting to work or taking a day trip out of town. If you ever experience any of the following AC problems in your vehicle, a technician at your local Honda dealership can fix it and get your cabin comfortably cool once more. more The Air Stops Blowing If no air comes out of the AC vents when you switch it on, one of them may have become clogged by debris such as leaves coming in from the outside. If the vents are clear, something may be wrong with the blower fan instead; the blower fan's motor may have become worn out by age. Alternatively, the blower resistor, which regulates the level of air blowing into your cabin, may be malfunctioning. Electrical faults can also stop the blower fan from working. You can check the fuse box to see if the fuse has blown. The relay, which controls the electrical current going to the AC, might also be faulty. Only Warm or Hot Air If air is blowing into the cabin, but it won't cool down as it should, then it's more likely that you have a problem with the refrigerant. Refrigerant is the substance that circulates through the air-con system, continually converting from gas to liquid and back again, lowering the temperature as it does. When refrigerant fails to generate this coldness, the flow of refrigerant may have become interrupted by a malfunctioning expansion valve in the evaporator. You might also have a refrigerant leak on your hands. As the refrigerant is a thin, oily, transparent substance, a leak can be difficult to spot and repair without a special refrigerant dye injected by a technician. Bad-Smelling AC Air When any car part is left unused for months at a time, problems can develop. In the case of car AC, drivers often leave it unused over the colder winter months. During this period of disuse, fungi or mold can sometimes grow in any moisture that's trapped inside the AC. This fills the AC with bacteria and can result in a mildewy smell when you turn the AC on again. The AC Makes Strange Noises If a bearing inside your AC wears out, you might hear grinding or squeaking sounds as friction increases. Rattling sounds may point to a faltering compressor clutch or debris trapped inside the blower's fans. You'll usually need a technician to inspect the system and resolve the issue. If your Honda is exhibiting any of the signs listed above, have your AC repaired today by qualified professionals at Rick Roush Honda. We provide a prompt, professional, hassle-free vehicle purchasing and servicing experience, whatever your car-related needs might be. Image via

6 Car Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Honda in Top Shape

Regular car maintenance is the key to keeping your Honda Accord, Civic, or Pilot running reliably and saving a bundle on costly repairs. Continue reading to discover six valuable maintenance tips that will help you keep your vehicle in top-notch condition for years to come. more 1. Stick to the Recommended Service Intervals To keep your Honda in its best condition, following the Honda factory-recommended service intervals is crucial. By having your vehicle inspected regularly by a qualified Honda technician, you can avoid high repair costs while ensuring your car runs smoothly. It's a cost-effective way to maintain your vehicle and keep it in top shape for the long haul. 2. Change the Oil Regularly By regularly changing the oil at the recommended intervals, your engine will stay lubricated, clean, and protected and last longer. Check your owner's manual for the oil change intervals or speak to your Honda technician. 3. Check the Fluid Levels To maintain your car's performance, check the oil, brake, coolant, transmission, and power steering fluid at least once a month and top them off if necessary. Check the consistency and color of the fluid, and if it looks discolored, ask your Honda technician for a replacement. 4. Inspect the Battery While checking the fluid, inspect your battery for signs of corrosion or damage. If you notice corrosion, remove it with a brush and a mixture of water and baking soda. If the battery is bloated or cracked, replace it immediately. If your battery is older than three years, ask your Honda technician to perform a battery test to determine whether a replacement is necessary. 5. Look After Your Tires Always keep your tires properly inflated to the recommended PSI to prevent wear, save on gas, and ensure your safety behind the wheel. Check the tires for tread wear, bubbles, and cracks monthly, and ask your Honda technician to rotate the tires every time you take your vehicle for an oil change. Regular tire rotations prevent uneven wear and prolong the life of your tires. 6. Keep Your Car Clean and Protected Wash your car regularly with specially formulated car shampoo to get rid of dust and grime that can cause scratches, and give it a wax every six months or so to provide a protective layer to protect the paint. Parking in a covered area, such as a garage or under a cover, will help protect your car's interior and exterior against the elements. To keep enjoying every mile behind the wheel of your Honda, routinely inspect your car and rely on qualified Honda technicians for routine maintenance checkups.
