Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How often should I get my oil changed?

For most vehicles, we recommend an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. However, this may vary based on your driving habits and the type of oil your vehicle uses. Consult your owner’s manual or visit us at Brandon Honda in Tampa for personalized advice.

When should I replace my brakes?

We recommend having your brakes inspected at least once a year. If you hear squeaking, grinding, or notice reduced braking power, it’s time for a check-up. Brake pads typically need replacement when they reach 2-3mm in thickness.

How often should I change my vehicle’s fluids?

Fluid maintenance varies depending on the type of fluid:

• Engine Oil: Every 5,000-7,500 miles
• Transmission Fluid: Every 30,000-60,000 miles
• Brake Fluid: Every 2 years
• Coolant: Every 30,000-50,000 miles

Why is my check engine light on?

The check engine light can indicate various issues, from a loose gas cap to more serious engine problems. We recommend scheduling a diagnostic service at Brandon Honda to quickly identify and resolve the issue.

How often should I replace my air filters?

Your engine air filter should be replaced every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, depending on your driving conditions. We also recommend replacing the cabin air filter at similar intervals to ensure clean air inside your vehicle.

How can I tell if my tires need to be replaced?

Tires should be replaced when the tread depth reaches 2/32 of an inch. You can check this with the penny test – if Lincoln’s head is fully visible, it’s time for new tires. Our team can provide professional tread inspections during your visit.

What types of batteries do you offer?

We offer genuine Honda batteries designed to meet the needs of all Honda models, ensuring long-lasting performance. Our service team can help you select the right battery based on your vehicle and the climate conditions in Tampa.
