There are many different types of brake repair and service, but brake pads are the ones requiring the most frequent service, typically once a year. We'll check your brake pad width and replace them if needed.

Frequently Asked Car Service Questions
How often do I need an oil change for my car, truck, or SUV?
Good news, the 3,000 miles or every three months rule is outdated. Honda manufacturers have been hard at work to create better, longer-lasting oil and improved engines, and drivers can now enjoy going 5,000 miles and anywhere between six and twelve months for a new oil change. This will vary based on the model you are driving, but drivers can expect this range when they shop for a new Honda sedan, truck, or SUV from DCH Honda of Oxnard.
Drivers can schedule their oil change appointment online with our Honda dealership serving Ventura County, CA. Submit an appointment request online, and our service center will reach out and confirm the date and appointment details.
What's the difference between synthetic and conventional oil?
Conventional oil is for vehicles with simpler engines, like a four-cylinder. It is best for drivers who spend a lot of time commuting to and from work and enjoying drives in the city. Synthetic oil is usually found in sports cars and off-road vehicles. It has a higher concentration of components and helps your new Honda Civic Si reach top speeds with ease and articulation. Chat with a DCH Honda of Oxnard service center staff about the oil that is right for your vehicle.
How often do I need to have my hybrid or electric vehicle's (EVs) battery changed?
While the service technicians at DCH Honda of Oxnard will always check our battery's health when you visit, the battery pack in a hybrid model or EV (like the Honda Accord Hybrid) should only need to be changed every 10 to 20 years. The benefit of going electric is that the components of your motor tend to last longer than the components of a gas powertrain model. Reach out to the sales team at DCH Honda of Oxnard to learn about more perks of owning a new Honda hybrid or EV.
Is the maintenance schedule different for a hybrid or electric vehicle?
Yes! Drivers will enjoy spending less time at garages and service centers when they buy a new Honda electric vehicle or hybrid model. Hybrid and electric vehicles like the Accord Hybrid require less maintenance due to the electric components and fewer fluids in your vehicle. Tires should still be changed and rotated regularly, and brakes should be checked to ensure the integrity of your hybrid sedan or SUV.
