Routine Fluid Maintenance and Auto Service at Serra Honda Grandville
Your vehicle relies on more than just fuel to run efficiently. It depends on a network of fluids, each with a specific job to keep your engine, brakes, transmission, and more working safely and smoothly. At Serra Honda Grandville, we help West Michigan drivers stay ahead of costly repairs with expert fluid maintenance for all makes and models. From oil changes to transmission fluid service, our certified technicians are here to keep your car running strong, mile after mile.

Why Fluid Maintenance Matters
Each fluid in your vehicle plays a key role in performance, safety, and long-term reliability. Over time, these fluids can break down, become contaminated, or lose their effectiveness, leading to overheating, wear, and even system failure if not addressed.

Regular inspections and timely service help:
  • Maximize engine efficiency
  • Prevent internal corrosion
  • Improve handling and braking
  • Reduce wear on key components

We recommend following your owner's manual for specific intervals-or ask our service team for personalized recommendations based on your driving habits.

Key Vehicle Fluids We Service
 
Oil Changes
Motor oil lubricates moving parts, reduces friction, and keeps your engine cool and clean.

When to change: Every 3,000-5,000 miles, depending on driving conditions and oil type. Ask our team if you're unsure!


Windshield Washer Fluid
Essential for visibility and safety, especially during Michigan's messy seasons.

When to refill: As needed, some vehicles have a sensor, but we'll top it off during any routine service.

Coolant (Antifreeze)
Regulates engine temperature and protects components from heat and freezing.

When to flush: Every 24,000 miles or every 2 years.

Brake Fluid
Transfers pressure from your brake pedal to the calipers, critical for responsive braking.

When to inspect: Every 30,000 miles or if you notice a soft pedal or delayed stopping response.

Power Steering Fluid
Assists in turning the steering wheel and protects steering components.

When to service: Watch for stiff steering, growling sounds, or leaks.

Transmission Fluid
Lubricates, cools, and powers the transmission system.

When to service: Every 30,000 miles. We'll inspect your fluid's color and condition during service.
