Sometimes, a dead battery is completely drained, but very often, if you give it some power, you can get the engine started. This might not be a permanent solution, but it will get the car moving again. As your Honda dealer, we'd like to tell you how to jump-start a car in several easy steps. For this example, your Honda will recharge another vehicle with a dead battery. Where's the Battery? While this might sound strange, some vehicles have their battery in the trunk. Before you position your car, identify the location of the other vehicle's battery. more Once you know where the other battery is, park your car as close as possible to the other vehicle, so the two battery compartments face each other. Make sure both engines are switched off and grab your jumper cables. Connect the Cables When you look at the jumper cables, you have a red cable and a black cable. The red cable is positive, and the black cable is negative. These cables must be connected to the two batteries in a precise order. In addition, the clamps on either end of both cables must be securely connected. Electricity can't pass through a gap, so a loose connection will prevent the dead battery from charging. Red Cable First The first step is to connect one side of the red cable to the positive terminal on the dead battery. Check the clamp is secure, then connect the other end of the red cable to the positive terminal on your battery. Black Cable Second Once the red cables are connected, attach one end of the black cable to the negative terminal on your battery. The last step is to connect the remaining end of the black cable to any bare metal surface in the engine compartment of the other vehicle. Charge the Battery Return to your car and switch the engine on. Allow the engine to idle for a few minutes, then return to the other vehicle and try and start it. If its engine starts, let it idle, and your job is done. If the other vehicle doesn't start, idle your car for longer and try to start the other engine again. Once the other engine starts, it's time to remove the cables.​ Remove the Cables The cable must be removed in reverse order. Remove the black cable from the bare metal on the other vehicle, then remove the red cable from the previously dead battery. Next, remove the other end of the red cable from the positive terminal on your battery, and then remove the last black cable from your battery. This is the quick and easy way to perform a jump start.

There are a lot of tires out there to select for your Honda and sometimes it's hard to know where to start. When it comes to choosing tires for your vehicle, it's important to consider the seasons in Bishop, CA and the surrounding mountains. From icy roads to blistering heat, learn more about how you can pick the most suitable tires for your Honda vehicle. Consider Summer Tires for Hot Days Summer tires are designed to provide optimal performance during hot days, especially in desert-like environments. They are made of soft rubber that provides a better grip on the pavement, allowing for better handling and improved dry braking. These types of tires often feature larger tread blocks, which help to enhance braking performance and cornering, especially in wetter conditions. more Keep in mind that these tires are not as effective when it comes to icy or snowy conditions and may not be suitable for all-year use in Bishop. Summer tires tend to harden in colder conditions due to their softer rubber composition. That said, whether the weather is dry and hot or drizzling with light humid rain, summer tires are an excellent asset to ensure a sharper driving experience in your Honda during the hotter months. Be Prepared with Winter Tires Since summer tires aren't safe for icy winter roads, it makes sense to switch your summer wheels for winter ones. Winter tires are designed to provide maximum grip in snow and in slippery road conditions, with deeper tread patterns and cuts (known as sipes) across the tread. These help to flush out excess slush and build up traction on snowy surfaces, contributing to improved performance. If you regularly drive into the mountains and in icy conditions, then these are the tires you'll need on your vehicle. All-Season Tires for All Possibilities After reading about summer and winter tires, you might be wondering - why all-season tires? For a start, most new cars already come with all-season wheels. These types of tires give general capability year-round in warmer and cooler climates, and some can even perform well in icy conditions. Where To Get Advice on Choosing Tires in Bishop, CA The best place to get comprehensive advice on the best tires for your Honda is your local dealer. Trained Honda technicians can advise you on the best tires to get for driving in summer or winter. You can also get access to great deals on tires and find out about other great products and services available for your Honda. Remember, there are tires available to handle the heat, power through the ice, or get you from A to Z with ease. Ready to upgrade your drive? Contact us at Perry Honda to get your new tires today.

Oil Changes If you want to keep your engine in excellent condition, get your oil changed regularly. New oil helps to lubricate the engine parts, prevent damage, improve fuel efficiency, and extend the life of your engine. If you drive a newer model, the Maintenance Minder calculates your car's maintenance needs and provides recommendations when a service is required. more Honda typically advises a basic service for older vehicles, which involves changing the oil, examining, and replenishing fluids, inspecting brakes, checking tires, monitoring tire pressure, and rotating the tires at least once a year or at 7,500-mile intervals. To guarantee that your Honda remains dependable, adhere to your vehicle's service schedule, and follow the maintenance intervals recommended by the factory in your owner's manual. Brake Inspections and Brake Pad Replacements When you bring your Honda to us for service, our Honda technicians will conduct a comprehensive brake inspection. The inspection involves checking the brake pads for any signs of wear and measuring their thickness. If your brake pads are worn down to a thickness of 3.2 millimeters or less, the technician will perform a replacement using genuine Honda brake pads. Honda produces genuine brake pads tailored to meet the highest standards and are extensively tested for their safety and reliability. Genuine Honda brake pads also help limit vibrations, prevent premature disc wear, and ensure outstanding performance for an extended period. Battery Inspections and Tests As you drive your car, the battery starts to deteriorate and may gradually lose its ability to provide enough power to run the electronics and start the engine. Our Honda-certified technicians conduct regular battery inspections to prevent potential battery issues. Additionally, we suggest getting a battery test done if your battery is over three years old to check whether it requires replacement or still holds a proper charge. Tire Inspections and Rotations When you bring your vehicle to us for service, our Honda technicians go the extra mile to ensure your safety on the road.

A flat tire can happen at any time due to tire wear or damage from a sharp object on the surface. If you get a flat, you don't have to wait for a mechanic or a town truck, you can change the tire yourself. As your Honda dealer, we want to tell you how to change a tire quickly and easily. Find Somewhere Safe Changing a tire isn't complex, but it does require your attention. A flat is more likely to happen when you're driving, which means you will need to find a safe location to stop. Switch on your warning lights and gradually slow down as you look for a place to pull over. The best location is as far from other moving vehicles as possible, as this significantly reduces the chance of being hit by another vehicle while you're focused on changing the tire. more Find the Spare Your Honda will have a spare tire and, depending on your model, it may be a regular-sized tire or a donut. A donut is a smaller tire that's intended to get you mobile so you can reach a dealership and get a regular-sized replacement. When you get the spare, also grab the jack and the lug wrench. These two items will usually be stored near the spare. Remove the Lug Nuts Lug nuts connect the tire to the wheel hub. They're tightly secured, and you'll likely need significant force to open them. One of the easiest ways to do this is to connect the lug wrench to a lug nut and then stand on the wrench to exert extra pressure to loosen it. Loosen each nut in turn, but don't remove them. Jack Your Car Positioning the jack correctly is vital, as you don't want to damage your Honda. Your car manual will show you the location of the jacking points. These are reinforced metal plates located near each of your wheels, and they've been engineered to support the weight of your car. Once you've found the jacking point closest to the flat, use it to lift your car off the ground until the bottom of the flat barely touches the ground. Replace the Tire Unscrew all the lug nuts, then lift the tire off the wheel hub. Fit the spare in its place and tighten all the lug nuts by hand. Once all the nuts are in place, lower your Honda to the ground and remove the jack. Finish Up Use the lug wrench to tightly the lug nuts as securely as possible, then pack the jack, flat, and lug wrench in the trunk. You're now ready to drive away. Now you know the simple steps to change a tire. Visit us at Perry Honda in Bishop, CA, for a new tire.
