GRANDVILLE, Mich., -- As any Michigander knows, our roads are terrible. Big time. Harsh winters coupled with the drastic freeze/thaw cycles we experience heading into springtime leave our highways and city streets peppered with potholes, which in turn wreak havoc on your vehicle.

This National Car Care Month, your friends at RiverTown Honda are here to show you how important it is to check your alignment and suspension this spring and help prepare your car to run at its best this summer.

ALIGNMENT

SUSPENSION

GRANDVILLE, Mich.,––If you're a current customer of RiverTown Honda, you might understand how different our dealership is from the rest.

We offer not only a recently expanded and comprehensive Service Center, but an Express Service Lane, too! At our Express Service Lane, you can arrive with or without an appointment, have services done quickly, and leave in a completely safe and well maintained vehicle. Take a look below to learn what auto services and routine maintenance you can have done in 90 minutes or less at RiverTown Honda, plus get info on why they're important, and when you should have them done!

Oil Changes

If you're a proud car owner, of any make and model, you know that oil changes are something that needs to be done to keep your car running. Why? Oil helps to lubricate your engines components, contains any contaminants that might enter your engine, and takes heat away from the engine. Your oil unfortunately expires, or becomes too thin or too dirty to do its job well. If you let it get too dirty, or don't follow the recommended oil change service schedule, you put your engine and its components at risk for unnecessary wear or damage, which can be costly. To take care of your engine properly, it's important to have your oil changed every 3,000-5,000 miles if you're using conventional or a synthetic blend oil.

Tire Rotations, Replacements, Repairs 

Your tires are one of the most important components to inspect and maintain. Why? Because they're the main contact between your car and the road! They provide friction and grip that's needed to move down the road. Tire rotations should happen about every other oil change to protect your tires from uneven and premature wear and can be done quickly at our Service Center. Replacements and repairs need to happen less frequently, but can also be done in 90 minutes or less at Rivertowm Honda! Our team would be happy to inspect your tires for leaks and wear, fill your tires with the optimal amount of air, repair any punctures or leaks, OR help you choose and purchase a new set of tires when your old tires have become unsafe.

Wiper Blade Replacements & Wiper Fluid Fill-Ups

As simple as they may be to purchase and replace, your wiper blades are a component on your vehicle that have a significant impact on your safety! Your wiper blades, along with your wiper fluid should be able to clear your windshield of any dirt, gunk, or rain, clearly without streaks. So, why is this important to your safety? Your view of the road should be clear and visible all the way around, and having something in the way of that is simply a distraction that can cause you to drift lanes, not see other drivers or pedestrians, etc. At RiverTown Honda, our team would be happy to replace your front and rear wiper blades with quality parts, and fill up your wiper fluid tank so you're equipped to get rid of windshield gunk.

Wheel Alignments

Your wheels can become misaligned overtime from regular road and driving conditions. Things like potholes, curbs, and bumps in the road have the potential to knock your wheels out of alignment. Even if your wheels are minimally out of place, it can cause your car to work harder to move. A misalignment can cause your car to pull to one side when traveling straight, cause uneven tire wear, and can cause your vehicle to run less efficiently. This is a service that should be done about once a year or when you notice symptoms of a misalignment, takes a special machine to do, and can be done fairly quickly at RiverTown Honda!

Air Filter Replacements

During your oil change, we'll be sure to check and replace your air filter as needed! This can help to keep contaminants from the road out of your engine and keep your car running efficiently. Our experienced team can also inspect and replace your cabin air filter at your request. This isn't a service that needs to happen regularly, but is recommended for every 15,000-20,000 miles or about every year. This will help you breathe better in your car, by blocking airborne contaminants like pollen. This is especially important to have done if you live in a highly-populated area, or an area with poor air quality. You can have this service done at our Express Service lane in under 90 minutes at RiverTown Honda.
