Parts FAQs
On Saturday June 26, 2023, your parts department sold a 2018 CR-V cabin air filter (PN: 80291-TF3-E01) for $52.26, but another Honda dealership in Ottawa had it for $44.67. Why?
Part pricing can vary between dealerships due to differences in supplier costs, freight, inventory sourcing, and timing. Pricing can also change over time based on manufacturer updates and availability.
If you share your invoice details and the part number, our parts team can review the transaction with you and explain what applied at the time of sale. We want pricing to feel clear and fair, and we are happy to walk through it.

Do you carry Honda Genuine accessories?
Yes. Honda Genuine accessories are designed to fit your specific model properly and maintain factory standards for quality, safety, and compatibility. If you tell us your year and model, we can help confirm what fits.
What do you need to confirm the correct Honda part?
The best is your VIN. It helps confirm exact fitment, part revisions, and trim differences. If you do not have the VIN handy, your year, model, trim, and engine can help us narrow it down.

Service & Maintenance FAQs
How do I know when my Honda needs service?
Most Hondas use the Maintenance Minder system, which monitors driving conditions and alerts you when service is due. When a service code appears on your dashboard, it helps identify what maintenance is recommended so you are not guessing.
If you share the code you see (for example A, B, or a number like 1, 2, 3), we can explain what it means and recommend the right timing for your visit.

How often should I change the oil in my Honda?
The most accurate guide is your Maintenance Minder, since it adjusts based on your driving habits and conditions. If you are mainly doing short trips, stop and go traffic, or lots of cold-weather driving, oil life can drop faster.
If you share your oil life percentage or Minder code, we can help you plan the right appointment.

Why is my tire pressure light on in cold weather?
Tire pressure naturally drops as temperatures fall because the air inside the tire contracts. This can trigger the TPMS warning even if there is no puncture.
Inflate your tires to the recommended PSI listed on the driver door jamb. If the light stays on, there may be a slow leak or a sensor concern, and an inspection is recommended.

Do I need a wheel alignment after new tires?
Not always, but it is a smart idea if you notice pulling, uneven tire wear, or a steering wheel that is off-center. Proper alignment helps tires wear evenly and can improve ride stability.
Ownership & Tech FAQs
Can I get the radio code for a Honda 2008?
Yes. In many cases, the radio code can be retrieved using your VIN and the radio serial number. Once verified, the correct code can be provided so your radio works again.
If you are not sure how to find the radio serial number, contact us and we will help guide you based on your model.

When should I switch to winter tires?
A good guideline is to switch once temperatures consistently stay at or below 7°C. Winter tires remain more flexible in cold weather and can improve traction and braking on snow, ice, and cold pavement.
What does the Maintenance Minder code mean (A, B, 1, 2, 3)?
Maintenance Minder codes are a shorthand for recommended services. The letter typically indicates the main service type, and the numbers point to additional items such as inspections or fluid services.
Because codes and recommended timing depend on your model and mileage, the best next step is to share your exact code and we can explain it clearly and help you book the right service.
