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?

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

You may not realize it yet, but the 2024 Honda Ridgeline is the ultimate utility truck. From its powerful V6 and herculean capabilities to its rugged design features and innovative storage solutions, this is one workhorse of a truck. We look closer at the stand-out features to help you understand why the Ridgeline is the only truck you'll ever need. The Basics The new Ridgeline stands out on Bishop's streets. The front fascia is dominated by a distinctive grille flanked on either side by automatic on/off LED headlights. Glancing along the truck's 125.2-inch wheelbase, your eyes are drawn to the 18-inch shark gray alloy wheels. As you disappear into the distance, other road users will be left gazing in awe thanks to the LED fog and taillights, the dual chrome exhaust finishers, and the rear privacy glass. more Unique Features Ultimate Power Power is key when it comes to trucks, so Honda has given the Ridgeline a 3.5-liter direct-injection V6 engine kicking out 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque and making it capable of towing 5,000 pounds. The responsive nine-speed automatic transmission delivers smooth shifting. An intelligent traction management system gives you the confidence to tackle any terrain as you can control the vehicle's performance by switching between normal, mud, snow, and sand modes depending on the condition of the terrain. Impressive Fuel Efficiency For such a powerhouse truck with this outstanding towing capacity, the Ridgeway's powertrain is surprisingly efficient. 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. And, if that isn't enough, the bed hides a 7.3 cubic meter lockable trunk, large enough to carry golf clubs, tools, or an 82-quart ice box. The new Honda Ridgeline is waiting on the lot for you to experience its power and versatility. Head to Perry Honda in Bishop, CA today, and check out the ultimate utility truck for yourself.

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.

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.
