Honda capped price servicing - cost, schedule & info
Whether you own a Jazz or a Civic Type R, a HR-V or an Odyssey, there's a capped-price plan to suit your car.
Honda offers a capped-price servicing program for all of its current models, with the company's Australian arm labelling it Honda Tailored Servicing for vehicles sold prior to July 1, 2021, or Honda Genuine Servicing for those purchased thereafter.
According to Honda Australia, "we want to make sure that Honda servicing is tailored to your needs", and "that means guiding you through how much it costs to maintain your vehicle".
So, whether you own a Jazz or a Civic Type R, a HR-V or an Odyssey, there's a capped-price plan to suit your car.
But depending on what you own, the servicing schedule may be different. Older Honda models require maintenance every six months or 10,000km, where newer examples from the Japanese company need servicing every 12 months or 10,000km, whichever occurs first.
Those intervals are worse than plenty of competitors (many now have annual or 15,000km intervals), but Honda makes up for it with transparent pricing, including costs for additional extras.
Honda is one of the brands that now has a compelling five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty for its models, as well as a five-year roadside assist program.
Honda models require maintenance more regularly, and those short service intervals mean you could end up paying more if you do a lot of driving. Honda Tailored Servicing can be expensive as a result, but Honda Genuine Servicing is still very, very cheap. 8/10
