The 24.5 cubic feet of cargo area can be increased by folding down part or all of the rear seats, and the wide, low hatch makes it easy to load bulky or heavy items.

As you drive, continual knocks against curbs and over rough patches of the road can gradually push your wheels out of alignment. Wheel misalignment leads to more than just a bumpier ride; it also harms your handling, tire lifespan, road safety, and gas mileage. Here's an overview of the key symptoms of this problem and how the technicians at your local Honda dealership can resolve the issue with prompt wheel alignment. more Keep Your Steering Straight The most worrisome result of misaligned wheels is how it disrupts your steering and handling. If your steering wheel has become permanently tilted to one side or your car tends to veer away from a straight line, then your wheels are likely misaligned. Any such reduction in steering precision is dangerous and should be resolved as soon as possible. Enjoy a Smoother Ride When your wheels have mismatched alignment, your ride will get rough, and you may feel increased vibrations, especially when driving at higher speeds. Overall road noise might also become louder, not only from vibrations but also from the tires squealing when you navigate corners. Promote Better Tire Longevity When forced to grip the road at odd angles, tires tend to wear down unnaturally. If you notice that your tires are unevenly worn, misaligned wheels might be to blame. The awkward pressure that misalignment places on tires also makes them more susceptible to damage and skids. Enhance Fuel Efficiency The additional friction generated by misalignment creates drag that slows your car. This means you'll be using more gas than usual and may notice an increase in your monthly fuel expenses. Protect Connected Components As your car is designed to have all components in perfect alignment, when the wheels begin to twist out of shape, excess strain is put on connected car parts as well. As a result, the axles, brakes, suspension, differentials, and steering system may develop faults of their own. Realigning your wheels reduces this pressure, saving you from additional repair expenses. Schedule Routine Alignment at Your Honda Dealership Wheels should be realigned at least once a year; many drivers have their wheels aligned each time they have their tires rotated, which is usually twice a year. It's considered wise to schedule routine alignment rather than wait for the aforementioned problems to develop. That way, you can rest assured that your vehicle's steering, handling, traction, fuel efficiency, and road safety are kept in tip-top condition at all times. Visit Perry Motors Honda in Bishop, CA, today to have your wheels realigned by courteous, qualified technicians. We're a locally owned and operated, third-generation dealership that's been helping out the region's drivers for over 75 years. Image via Honda

Driving an electric Honda is a great way to safeguard the environment, but, like a gas vehicle, your EV requires proper care. Whether you're wondering when to visit your local Honda dealer for scheduled maintenance or want to learn more about the Honda EV maintenance requirements before investing in a vehicle, let's break down everything you need to know. more Scheduled Honda EV Maintenance Like most electric vehicles, your Honda EV requires less maintenance than gas-powered vehicles. The most important maintenance service your EV requires is tire rotation, which should be performed every 7,500 miles, or sooner if you notice uneven tire wear. Every 24 months or 22,500 miles, whichever comes first, you should replace the passenger compartment air filter. The hood and body lift support gas struts should be replaced every 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. You should also drain and refill the coolant circuits every five years or 150,000 miles. If you're driving in severe conditions, such as heavy city traffic in hot weather or on dusty terrains, the EV's scheduled maintenance should include the replacement of the electric drive unit fluid every 45,000 miles. Owner Checks and Services Beyond the scheduled maintenance, as a Honda EV owner, you should also respect a vehicle care schedule. To make sure your ride is in top condition at all times, you must monitor the tire pressure and tread depth about once a month and schedule a wheel alignment service when you notice signs of uneven wear. You must also replace the brake fluid every five years and the air conditioning desiccant every seven years. At least twice a year, you should also schedule an underbody flushing to remove dirt buildup. In addition, you should monitor the windshield washer level, top it up when necessary, and change the wiper blades at least once a year. Why Choose Your Honda Dealer for EV Care and Maintenance? Whether you need to bring in your EV for scheduled maintenance services or additional checks, choosing Perry Honda comes with the guarantee that your vehicle will be serviced by Honda-certified technicians trained to spot and fix the smallest issues before they become expensive problems.

Of all the SUVs on the road, there's nothing quite like the 2024 Honda CR-V. With incredible capacity in a compact frame, the CR-V is well-reviewed by experts and well-loved by the drivers who rely on it every day. Here are just a few reasons this capable compact is a family favorite for so many. more 1. Compact, but Roomy At under 185 inches long, the 2024 CR-V is compact enough for almost any parking spot. Its nimble handling makes it an ideal SUV for city life. Yet the CR-V demands no compromises in passenger or cargo volume. Thanks to excellent design, the CR-V offers a full 41 inches of legroom in each row, seating five adults or tall teens with room for every rider to stretch their legs. It also offers up to an extremely generous 39.3 cubic feet of cargo volume with both seats upright and an astonishing 76.5 cubic feet with the back seat folded down. That makes the CR-V extremely capable on box-store trips, home improvement runs, or weekend getaways that require plenty of adventure gear. 2. Efficient (Even Without the Hybrid) There are two efficient powertrains available in the 2024 CR-V. The gasoline power plant makes a robust 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque yet still manages to achieve up to 30 mpg combined (28 city / 34 highway). That efficiency makes the CR-V not just affordable to own, but affordable to drive. Opt for any of the three hybrid trims of the CR-V, though, and both power and efficiency skyrocket. The Hybrid trims offer up to 204 net horsepower and 247 net lb-ft of torque. What's even more impressive is that it achieves additional efficiency at the same time, up to 40 mpg combined (43 city / 36 highway). 3. Ready to Roll in the Mud Available on every trim and standard on the top Sport Touring Hybrid, Honda's Real Time All-Wheel Drive adds yet another layer of performance. The system offers increased confidence in corners and on wet, muddy, or snowy roads and helps ensure good traction regardless of what mischief the weather holds. 4. Top Marks for Safety Thanks to its Advanced Compatibility Engineering frame and the standard Honda Sensing safety suite, the CR-V offers incredible peace of mind. Standard features like collision mitigation braking, traffic jam assistance, lane departure alerts, and adaptive cruise control all help the CR-V keep you safe on the road. And with excellent collision avoidance and five-star crash performance, it's no wonder the IIHS gave the CR-V a coveted Top Safety Pick award. The 2024 CR-V has it all. Test drive the 2024 CR-V today at Perry Motors Honda in Bishop, CA, and discover just how capable a compact SUV can be. Image via Honda

Aerodynamic design features reduce friction when on the road, helping this Honda achieve an impressive EPA-estimated 18 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway. Functional Interior Honda has designed the interior to be as functional as possible. The Ridgeline keeps traditional features, such as a lockable glove compartment, large seatback pockets, and front and rear beverage holders. However, it adds to these with a multi-functional center console that lifts to reveal a large storage box equipped with USB ports, a 12-volt outlet, and a wireless charging pad. Beneath the rear seats, you'll also find another sizeable storage compartment. Versatile Truck Bed To be crowned the ultimate utility truck, a vehicle needs to be capable of hauling everything from landscaping materials and building supplies to motorcycles and ATVs. That's why the Ridgeline crew cab features a best-in-class 64-inch bed with in-bed lights and eight 350-pound load capacity tie-down cleats.

Despite its crucial role in maintaining performance and efficiency, few drivers consider their Honda exhaust beyond admiring snazzy-looking tailpipes. As a leading Honda dealership, here's our guide to understanding and caring for your car's exhaust system so both you and your Honda can breathe easy. Where Does Exhaust Come From? Your Honda's engine combines air and gasoline to create an explosion (known as combustion) and uses the energy from that explosion to drive the piston, transmission, and your car. The byproduct of that process is exhaust: a mixture of hot air and harmful combustion byproducts. Your car must successfully treat and vent this exhaust to help the system run smoothly and efficiently, and to meet environmental standards. more What Does the Exhaust System Consist Of, and How Does It Work? First, the exhaust exits the engine and enters the exhaust manifold, which collects it and passes it to the catalytic converter, which helps convert harmful pollutants into less harmful emissions. The exhaust is then transmitted to the muffler, which reduces noise, and is finally vented out of the tailpipe. How Does the Exhaust System Impact Engine Performance? Maintaining the correct amount of flow through, and back pressure from, the exhaust system ensures your engine can bring in the correct amount of air to optimally perform combustion. Change either flow or back pressure too much (through leaks or obstructions) and performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions can all suffer. What Can Go Wrong with My Exhaust System? Your exhaust system is resilient, but vulnerable. Located on the bottom of the car to protect occupants from hot exhaust, it's exposed to mud and water (plus road salt in winter). Rust can damage the system. A leak can also develop, which may vent exhaust before it passes through critical components of the system and can also decrease engine performance. Catalytic converters can also become blocked or clogged, which also reduces performance. When Should I Schedule Exhaust Service? Your Honda's owner's manual will recommend mileage intervals for exhaust checks, and California law requires routine smog checks for vehicles more than 8 model-years old (which acts as a check on your exhaust system), but your Honda may need service sooner if an issue develops. If your engine suddenly becomes louder, performance decreases, fuel efficiency drops, you experience a burning or rotten-eggs smell, you start feeling vibrations, or your exhaust begins to smoke, schedule service immediately. Your Honda's exhaust system is a crucial part of your vehicle's health and performance. Trust it to the pros. Schedule your next exhaust service today at Perry Honda in Bishop, CA, and let our Honda experts care for your car so it can keep caring for you.

Want to keep your car looking like you just drove off the lot at the Honda dealership? This guide lists effortless steps you can take to get your car showroom clean. Clean the Interior First For optimal cleanliness and a fresh interior, start by cleaning the inside of your car first. This approach prevents dust and debris from the exterior from being transferred to the freshly cleaned interior surfaces. By beginning with vacuuming, dusting, and spot-cleaning upholstery as needed, you ensure a thorough and methodical cleaning process that sets the stage for a well-maintained vehicle, aligning with professional dealership standards for interior care. more Clean the Seat Belts Cleaning your seatbelts helps maintain their effectiveness and safety by removing dirt, grime, and contaminants that could compromise their functionality in an emergency. Loosen dirt on seat belts with a soft brush. Then, wipe them with a damp cloth dipped in the cleaning solution. Wipe belts again with a dry cloth, then let them air dry. Clean the Floor Mats Remove the mats and shake off loose dirt and debris. Vacuum mats to remove any remaining dirt. Wipe rubber mats with your cleaning cloth. Use a clean, dry cloth to remove excess moisture, and allow mats to air dry. Once they are dry, attach the mats to the floor hooks to keep them in place. Vacuum the Seats Vacuuming the seats removes dirt, debris, and allergens, ensuring a clean and comfortable interior environment for passengers. Use a vacuum to remove dirt and debris from the seats. Also vacuum under the seats, paying particular attention to the areas between the seats and doors and the console. Clean the Exterior Last To achieve a showroom-worthy exterior shine, always clean the exterior of your car last. This ensures that any dirt or debris from the interior or wheels doesn't accidentally scratch or mar the freshly cleaned paint. It's a simple step that can make a big difference in maintaining your car's pristine appearance, reflecting the care and attention to detail typically seen in dealership standards. Wash the Car Avoid dirt buildup by washing your car regularly. Wash off road salt, insects, and bird droppings as soon as you can. When using an automated car wash, remember to fold in your side mirrors. When using a high-pressure sprayer, stand back when spraying to protect yourself and your vehicle. Apply Car Wax To apply car wax effectively, start with a thoroughly cleaned and dry car. Choose a high-quality car wax suitable for your vehicle's paint type. Using a foam applicator or cloth, apply wax in small, circular motions, working one section at a time. Allow the wax to haze over, indicating it's ready to be buffed. Use a clean microfiber towel to buff the wax off, revealing a glossy finish that protects the paint from environmental elements and enhances its shine. Regular waxing maintains your car's appearance and protects its paint over time. Clean the Windows For sparkling clean windows, start by spraying glass cleaner directly onto the window surface. Use a lint-free microfiber cloth to wipe the cleaner in a circular motion, ensuring thorough coverage. Pay special attention to corners and edges to remove any streaks or smudges. For stubborn spots, reapply cleaner and gently buff with a clean portion of the cloth until the window is clear and streak-free. This method ensures your car windows maintain a pristine shine without residue. Clean Aluminum Wheels To effectively clean aluminum wheels, begin by rinsing them thoroughly to remove loose dirt and brake dust. Use a sponge or soft brush along with a mild detergent to scrub the wheels, ensuring to reach into spokes and around the rims. Rinse the wheels again with clean water and dry them thoroughly using a microfiber towel to prevent water stains and maintain their shine. This method helps keep your aluminum wheels looking clean and free of residue. Now you know how we keep our cars showroom clean. Stop by Perry Motors Honda in Bishop, CA, today and have a look around. While you're here, take a test drive and ask questions. We're happy to help.
