The transmission's job is to direct the energy from the engine to the wheels to enable them to move at the desired speed. It's a very complex piece of engineering, requiring regular servicing to allow it to operate at its best. As your Honda dealer, we'd like you to know a few signs that you need to visit us for a transmission repair. more Signs You Need a Transmission Repair at Your Honda Dealer Strange Noises A healthy transmission doesn't make any sound as it shifts gears. If you start hearing odd noises like buzzing, whining, or humming from your automatic transmission, something is wrong. A manual transmission can make harsher noises like clunking when you shift the stick. With both types of transmissions, the noises will rapidly grow louder over time. One of the most frequent causes of these issues is a lack of transmission fluid. This fluid has several major uses in the transmission, and one of these is to provide the hydraulic power that enables the gears to move. If your transmission fluid is low, gear shifting will be more difficult. Our technicians will need to examine your transmission to identify the problem and then we'll repair it. Engine Light Illuminated Most systems in your Honda will display a warning light if something is wrong. The transmission doesn't have a warning light of its own. If something goes wrong, the check engine light will illuminate. This might seem strange, but the reason is that the engine and transmission work together to move your car. If the transmission isn't working correctly, engine performance will suffer and the warning light will illuminate. We identify the issue by connecting your Honda computer to our diagnostic system. Your computer constantly receives information from every major component from the sensors that are connected to them. The computer logs any issue that's reported to it with an error code. Our diagnostic system will read these codes and direct our technicians to the source of the trouble so we can fix it for you. Gear Slipping Once transmission shifts into a new gear, it will remain in that gear until it's shifted again by either you or the transmission computer. Gear slipping is dangerous when the transmission moves to another gear without warning. You'll experience a sudden decrease in speed as the gear shifts, and this can be accompanied by harsh grinding noises as the gears forcefully move of their own accord. Low transmission fluid, worn gear teeth, damaged linkages, or an issue with the transmission computer may cause this type of problem. We'll investigate, identify the cause of the problem, and then repair it. Transmission issues can usually be quickly and inexpensively repaired if they're detected when they begin.

As a leading local Honda dealership, the company line is that we're not supposed to have favorites. After all, the Honda lineup is filled with legendary cars, crossovers, and SUVs. But when a vehicle comes along as special as the 2024 Honda HR-V, full of pep and made for small spots, we can't help but like it. Here are some of our team's favorite features of "the compact that can." more Secrets from a Honda Dealership: 3 Favorite Features of the 2024 Honda HR-V 1. The Heart of a Honda Paired with a 2.0-liter inline-four DOHC power plant, the HR-V has a motor with a pep in its step. The power plant puts out 158 horsepower and 136 lb-ft of torque: plenty to power its compact frame. MacPherson front struts and a multi-link rear suspension provide a balance between a sporty Honda ride and the ability to absorb the bumps offered by uneven terrain, while all-wheel drive is available on all trims of the HR-V to improve stability and performance while cornering or in bad weather. 2. Safety From the Frame Up Honda didn't skimp on the safety features in the HR-V. In fact, the IIHS gave the 2024 HR-V its coveted Top Safety Pick+ designation and gave it top marks in all crash test categories. Built on the Advanced Compatibility Engineering frame and loaded with airbags for the driver's knees, front and back side airbags, and side curtain airbags with rollover protection, the HR-V is a master of survivability if the worst should happen on the road. But Honda would rather see drivers safely home in the first place. That's why every HR-V comes with Honda Sensing advanced safety features to prevent collisions. Adaptive cruise control with following-distance comes standard and is even capable of bringing the vehicle to a halt when traffic snarls hit, while front collision detection provides early warning and brake assistance when approaching objects too quickly. Lane Departure Warning, Road Departure Mitigation, and Lane Keep Assistance also come standard. 3.  Cute, Stylish, Compact The HR-V is perfectly adapted for life in the big city, where parking is rare and spots are often fun-sized. The HR-V descends from the legendarily easy-to-park Honda Fit, with previous model years sharing a chassis with the fan-favorite compact wagon. At just 179.8 inches long, the HR-V easily tucks into parking spots that make bigger SUV owners jealous, with standard rearview camera with dynamic guides and available front and rear parking spot sensors making negotiating tough spots a snap. Body-colored spoiler, side mirrors, and a low stance help keep the HR-V looking stylish and fit, and a power-tilting moon roof, leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel, and leather trim on the seats are all available for those looking for a more luxurious ride. With advanced safety features, a compact and nimble body that doesn't skimp on style, and the road-ready heart of a Honda, the 2024 HR-V belongs in your driveway.

From visible coolant leaks to your engine overheating, there are several ways to tell when you need a radiator repair. Looking out for the signs that your cooling system isn't in the best shape will let you know to get to your Honda dealership swiftly so you can get the problem fixed before it gets any worse. more 5 Key Indicators You Require a Radiator Repair from Your Honda Dealership 1. You Can See You Have a Coolant Leak Sometimes you'll see a puddle of coolant near your vehicle when there's a leak somewhere in the cooling system. Coolant smells sweet, and it's typically a bright color such as green, orange, or red. Transmission fluid is also red, so it's important to take a small sniff of any red fluid pooling by your vehicle to see if it has coolant's distinct smell. Be careful not to directly inhale any of the fumes. 2. You Have a Low Coolant Level Even if you don't have a coolant leak, your coolant level can drop. Check the level regularly so you can stay on top of it and get the level topped up as needed. If your coolant level seems to be dropping quickly, then inform your dealer so they can see if there's a problem with the system. 3. You Have Spots of Discoloration On Your Radiator Discoloration or rust on your engine or radiator can indicate a coolant leak. When there's a leak in one of the hoses in the system, the coolant squirts out onto the hot metal components under your hood. Because of all the heat under there, the liquid quickly evaporates and strips the paint at the same time. Over time, these paint-free spots can rust. 4. You Have a Rising Temperature Gauge When your cooling system is faulty, your vehicle won't always overheat straight away. Sometimes you'll just notice your temperature gauge creeping up a little during your journeys, but it doesn't indicate that your engine is critically hot yet. Visit the dealer to have your cooling system checked before your car overheats. 5. You Have an Overheating Engine If your radiator can't do its job of keeping the engine's temperature regulated, then the engine is going to overheat. When this happens, white smoke will billow out from under your hood. If you see that smoke, then pull over straight away. If you keep driving while your engine is too hot, then you're going to do some serious damage to it. You'll likely need a tow truck to bring you to the dealer when your radiator can't keep your engine cool enough for safe driving. You need to get your radiator fixed if any of the signs above show up, and you should also get regular maintenance on the cooling system.

When you need an alternator repair, you'll notice problems with your car's electrical system. It may even seem like you have a dead battery, but the culprit could be your alternator. When your car's electrical system is having problems, you need to head to the Honda dealer to find out exactly what's causing the issue. more Is It Time for an Alternator Repair from Your Honda Dealer? 6 Signs 1. The Battery Light Switches On The battery warning light in your car can switch on when there's any kind of problem with your electrical system. Reasons it may switch on include wiring problems, a dead battery, or a faulty alternator that's making it seem like your battery is having issues. 2. The Engine Is Stalling Your vehicle might stall if your alternator fails while you're driving. You may be able to get the car started again by jumpstarting it, but this will only work if there's still some charge left in your vehicle. Even if it does switch on, it usually won't stay on for very long because a faulty alternator may not be able to charge the battery while you're driving, leading to a loss of power. 3. The Engine Has a Burning Smell Sometimes alternator problems can create a burning smell under the hood. The smell usually occurs if there's damage to the drive belt. 4. The Battery Is Dead A dead battery isn't always a broken battery that needs to be replaced. Sometimes your battery will act as though it's malfunctioning, but in reality, the battery is functioning just fine: it just isn't charged. As we mentioned earlier, a faulty alternator may not be able to charge the battery, so you may be unable to get the car started one morning when you head out to drive to work. Sometimes the battery won't be completely dead, but you may have a difficult time getting the car started because it's undercharged. 5. The Electronic Accessories Are Failing Your electronic accessories will fail if there's a problem with the battery, the alternator, the wiring, or another part of your electrical system. Sometimes an electrical feature will stop working completely, but other times, you'll notice the features are just slowing down. The windows may move up and down sluggishly, or your phone might take an eternity to charge when plugged into one of the USB ports in your car. 6. The Lights Are Dim Lights are also electronics that can suffer when your alternator is in disrepair. Because your battery doesn't have sufficient power to supply the lights inside and outside your car, they may become dim or start to flicker. The headlights can be badly affected by a faulty alternator. If your car is having any of the problems above, then it's time to get it checked out. Come to Boyd Honda Oxford in Oxford, NC today.

Photo: Honda. Your Honda is a very reliable, comfortable, and enjoyable vehicle to drive. To keep it in great condition, it requires regular servicing and maintenance. Over time parts will wear out and need replacement. Your friendly Honda dealership in Oxford, NC, can provide for all your maintenance needs and keep your car working perfectly. These are a few of our available services. more 3 Important Services You'll Find at Your Honda Dealership Tire Checks and Replacement Tires are one of the parts of any car that most drivers forget about. Many people give their tires a once over and then get behind the wheel. Tires, like any other component, wear out as time passes. The tread on your tires wears down due to abrasion with the surface, and heat, cold, and even sunlight will gradually wear them down. Our service department can examine your tires for signs of damage. In addition, we advise a regular tire rotation. We'll move your tires from the positions of greatest wear to positions of reduced wear. By doing this, your tires will wear down at roughly the same rate. A tire rotation allows you to plan for their replacement. If you need replacement tires, we can fit and balance them for you too. Battery Check Your car battery is one of the most important parts of your vehicle, but it is usually only noticed when it fails. On average, a battery will last for three to five years before replacement. Driving conditions, environment, and driving habits all decrease your battery life. To ensure your battery is always in good condition, we advise regular battery tests. To test the battery, we'll connect it to our computerized battery tester. This machine puts your battery through a series of tests to identify any weaknesses or potential problems. Ideally, this test should be performed when the battery is three years only and yearly after that. A regular test will ensure that any battery problems can be noticed and the battery can be replaced if necessary. Brake Checks Good, healthy brakes are vital for safe driving as they allow you to effectively control your Honda's speed, and stop if necessary. Brakes are a mechanical system, which means parts need to be greased, brake fluid checked and replaced, and other maintenance tasks performed. Regular maintenance will allow your brakes to work smoothly and efficiently. A regular check also enables our Honda-trained technicians to examine the entire system for any potential problems. Our experts can fix anything they find and prevent future repairs. You'll also have the peace of mind of knowing your brakes are working perfectly. If you'd like to know more about these or any other services, call our service department today at Boyd Honda Oxford.
