Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How often should I get my oil changed?

We recommend getting your Honda’s oil changed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on your driving habits and the type of oil your vehicle uses. For personalized recommendations, visit East Coast Honda in Myrtle Beach, where our service team can guide you based on local driving conditions.

When should I replace my brakes?

Brake inspections are recommended at least once a year. If you notice squeaking, grinding, or reduced braking power while driving through Carolina Forest or Little River, it’s time for a check-up. Typically, brake pads should be replaced when they wear down to 2-3mm in thickness.

How often should I change my vehicle’s fluids?

Fluid maintenance is crucial for your Honda’s longevity. Here are general recommendations:

• 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

Stop by East Coast Honda near Socastee for a detailed fluid inspection based on your specific vehicle.

Why is my check engine light on?

Your check engine light can indicate a variety of issues, from a loose gas cap to more serious engine problems. We recommend scheduling a diagnostic service at East Coast Honda, conveniently located off US Highway 17, to quickly identify and resolve the issue.

How often should I replace my air filters?

Engine air filters should be replaced every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, depending on your driving conditions, such as frequent trips along the Grand Strand or through Conway. Cabin air filters should also be changed 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 use the penny test to check: if Lincoln’s head is fully visible, it’s time for new tires. Our certified Honda technicians at East Coast Honda can also provide a professional tread inspection during your service appointment.

What types of batteries do you offer?

We offer genuine Honda batteries that ensure optimal performance for all Honda models. Whether you drive in the coastal humidity of Myrtle Beach or the backroads of Pawleys Island, our technicians can help you select the right battery for your Honda based on your driving habits and local climate conditions.
