Q: How do I get a good Honda credit card (if one exists)?
What does it offer in regard to Honda? Discounts on car parts? Is it worth getting?

I am asking because I think Honda makes the best cars and I’ve been unable to find any good Honda rewards through use of a credit card.

A: I think only ford and GM offer good rewards cards and they only offer rewards towards buying a new respective car. looks like you are out of luck. The best discounts you can get are that of shopping around at both dealers and independent repair shops to have your regular maintenance and repairs done. Your dealer will charge alot more per hour on labor and parts than a local independent but respected repair shop might. If you go to walmart for example to buy your air filters and wiper blades, and learn to change them yourself, you will save significantly in the long run… check out the below link to see what services your manufactereur recommends performed for what mileage.. That way you can take your car to a respected auto repair shop and you will know exactly what services you want performed at what mileage so no unnecessary work is performed and you are not overcharged. good luck! even honda dealerships can charge too much on auto repair.

Q: Do know any online discount car parts stores?
I took my car to a honda dealership. They want $400 to fix a master switch in a 96′ Honda accord.
seems outrageous.

I am going to order the part from online. Know a good place to order it?

help!

A: Here are three. There are dozens more. Just as an FYI if they’re replacing the complete switch assembly the price for the part alone is about $150. Add a few hours labor to disassemble your steering column to get to the wiring and $400 might actually be a very fair price. Get some estimates at an independent garage who usually are a bit cheaper than a dealer.

Q: Replacing plug wires? Honda wires or Auto Parts wires?
I will be replacing the spark plugs wires on my 2000 Honda Civic EX (159,000) this week. I called Honda to get a price on the wires and they’re about 75 bucks. My dad works at an auto parts store and gets a very good discount. My question is…Is there really a difference between the Honda Wires and an Auto Parts wires? Will it be ok if I just get the wires from an auto parts store? There’s a huge difference in price and I’m not really wanting to spend much money at the moment. Thanks =)

A: Not really, if you get a good set of wires from an autoparts store it will pretty much be like OEM Honda ones anyways. Dealers love to charge you lots of $$$ for even the smallest things, (I remember needing a bolt and the dealer wanted $8 for it…… 49 cents at home depot) you should be good to go with wires you get through your dad. You can also check out http://www.sparkplugs.com they also sell wires.

Q: whats a great first car?
I’m getting my license in june, and I’ve arranged a deal with some family members who are going to help pay for a used car. my stepdad works at Honda, so if I get a Honda he can get discounted parts and I can get the car checked for free. but, whether it’s a Honda or not, does anyone have any suggestions for a great first car to own?
$6,000 is about the price I want to pay.

A: Honda’s are pretty good little cars. A Honda Civic isn’t a bad choice, they are great on gas and last forever, and if you can get discounted parts for it, thats even better.

Q: Where to buy parts for 2002 Land Rover Freelander?
I just bought the above vehicle and hear it is expensive to fix. What is the best way to by parts? I am not a mechanic by any means so I would have to have a dealer install. Now where is the x-factor. I have connections with the service manager at the local Honda dealer — where I purchased this vehicle for a great discount. He can buy the parts from Land Rover and sell them to me for cost + 10%. Is this the way to go, or is there ANOTHER means (eBay for example) that would be even cheaper?

A: Had you bought a real Land Rover ( Discovery, Defender etc) they are simple to repair and easy to work on.

Unfortunately the Freelander is more of a hybrid with BMW engines (notoriously unreliable) and not particularly user friendly.

Your dealer man would be your best option, and you will certainly find out shortly why that discount was so good.

Q: Can I expect any big discounts after new year for used honda civic from 2006 ( new shape)?????
I know honda is not (with all the respect) fiat that after one year price for a used car will drop down up to 40 %, but if today i have to pay for 1.4 se civic around 13 000 , how it will be in first part of the 2007??????????????????????

A: the civic is currently available for 13000 but it is difficult to expect the car in the second hand market so soon.. however the price should drop from 13 to say about 9.5(approx) in case you want to go in for a new car then go in the last days of dec to avail a good sum as discount in order to get the stock of 2006 sold out…

Q: Electrical or Alternator??
I was driving on the interstate, my lights went dim and my car died, replaced the battery and 3 days later car is dead again, went to discount auto parts had them check the alternator they said my alternator was fine, I have a 2000 Honda Civic LX. I was involved in a car accident less than 2 weeks ago and was hit on my drivers side where my door opens and she cracked my wheel cover, I have not had any problems with my car till now…so is it electrical??? or the alternator…..I got prices to get my alternator fixed:
Tire Plus: 350
Honda Dealer: 450

PLEASE HELP!!!
my car has not been fixed yet…still waiting on insurance check…
the battery is on the passenger side, i was hit on the drivers side..does that make a difference?
when the battery is charged i can start my car…when i idle the car dies but when running it wont die, 2 days ago…when i got my car to start..i drove it down the street and none of my gauges worked…the rpms or the odomiter.

A: If the alternator checked out fine, then the problem is that the battery is not charging. The reason it keeps dying is that you are running off of battery power, and not power generated by the alternator.

It works like this: when you start your car, the battery is the power source for the starter. As soon as the car is running, a relay will switch over to the alternator, which then provides all of the electrical power in addition to charging the battery. At that point, the battery is getting recharged, and not used as a source of power.

If this relay mechanism (it might be a bit more complicated than just a relay) is faulty, then you will constantly run on battery power.

Don’t go to a honda dealer, they’ll charge you more than double what it should take to fix this. Any decent local mechanic will be able to find this, it’s not a difficult problem. I’m betting the relay or a contact was jarred loose during the impact, but that’s just a cyber-diagnosis and I could be completely wrong.

Worst case will be, as one person wrote, a pinch in the wiring harness. This isn’t a difficult problem to diagnose, but actually fixing it could be time consuming and expensive, as you need to find exactly where the pinch is. Labor ain’t cheap.

Q: I’m going to paint my brake calipers, I need info on paint!?
I am gonna go to autozone/discount auto parts to price paints this week. I want either blue/silver paint, and I was wondering what to buy, what kinda paint. Then how long it usually takes for the paint to dry, cause I plan on doing the front first, then the rear afterwards. I have a 95 honda accord. I was already gonna tape off the areas I dont want paint on, but I didn’t know if the paint came in aerosol or just a bottle, info plz!

A: You’re gunna leave the calipers on when you paint them? Don’t worry about getting paint on the discs as that will soon come off the first time you use the brakes.

The paint comes in an aerosol can, but make sure the rattle has gone before you start spraying.

Q: With all this awareness of Global Warming… Is the Accord Hybrid even a contender to a civic H or Prius H?
I am in the new market and was going to buy either a G35 coupe or a Nissan Titan Truck… I knew that Global warming was a huge issue before but I would really like to do “my part,” even if it’s just a little bit…

I have been looking at the Accord Hybrid and I really like the fact that it has a lot of power to it, but does that sacrifice the “clean” part of being a hybrid. I have owned 3 generations of accords and love the company but I want a little change.

That is why I looked at other cars. I would only go back to Honda or Toyota just because I am really considering being a little bit eco-friendly.

The Civic Hybrid looks great and has great ratings. Honestly, I don’t like the style of the Prius and most likely just get a Civic I had the choice…

I don’t want to discount the Toyota Camry Either…

By the way, Gas mileage really doesn’t matter to my. I live about 5 minutes to my office.

Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated… Thank You!!!

A: The Accord Hybrid isn’t enough better than the regular one to make a significant difference. It does make SOME difference, which is better than none.

If you really want to make a difference, then the Civic would be a better choice. A regular Civic is better, for the environment, than an Accord simply because it’s smaller.

Given the low number of miles you drive, it may not make a big difference what you get.

The benefit of getting a hybrid, even if you don’t drive much, is that it sends a message to the manufacturers that we want hybrids.

Q: Radiator has a crack in it, do you think replacing the hoses 5 months ago could have caused it?
5 months ago I had a shop replace all the hoses in my car, per their inspection and recommendation. Last week I noticed steam coming from my hood and I found coolant leaking from the top of my radiator. I thought it could be a leaky cap but later I saw a 3″ long horizontal crack in the upper part of the radiator just under the filler cap.

Do you think the mechanic could have caused this? I’m asking to see if I should pursue trying to get him to fix it for free or at least a discount.

My car is a 1996 Honda Accord with 134k miles. Thanks!

A: No, your radiator just failed.

Q: What are the names of cheap and reliable insurance companies and can I go to driver’s ed after getting a licns
I’m 17, about to turn 18 in April. I live in AZ, and drive my parent’s 99 ford expedition. I know, I hate SUVS. The worst part about it is that i’ll be using it to get to school. Whats more expensive to insure: (assuming they’re the same year and somewhat similiar) A cobalt/focus or honda civic? I just got my license yesterday. I’m eligible for the good student discount. My parents said that I can’t go to driving school after getting my license. I disagree. Will driver’s ed let me in? So yeah thats a grand total of 3 questions, haha.
Why do I want to take driver’s ed? For the discounts. I’m wondering is it worth it?

A: allied has good rates and you can call them and ask which car is cheaper to insure. hope this helps

Q: What’s the best car for a responsible teenager?
Okay so right now I just got my Driver’s handbook and am turning 16 in September. I think it’s time that I get a car. My mom wants to give me her old car which I know from experience isn’t reliable whatsoever. When I told her no and why she said I was so ungrateful. So I said I didn’t expect her to pay for it, I’d get a job and pay for it. So she told me no.

Now she’s talking about getting me a car.
I was thinking:
A Ford Edge
Suzuki XL-7
Mazda CX-9
Honda CR-V
GMC Acadia
Chevy Traverse
Chevy Equinox

Something like those because they’re not light on the ground and have high safety ratings. Also I have to take space into consideration. I have two sisters and 4 cousins that I would probably have to drive around on weekends. But I don’t want a minivan or van or pickup truck. I was thinking a crossover or an SUV. It just can’t be too big or bulky.

I’m still planning on getting a job this summer and maybe into school. I plan on paying for my own insurance, and setting aside $500 to $750 just in case something comes up with the car.

I’ve been able to maintain a 4.00 GPA my WHOLE school life. I’m ranked #2 in my Freshman class. I have never have to study a day in my life. So I don’t think that an after school job will really be much of a burden. Just in case it would be I plan only to work weekends but like 8-12 hours maybe? Every other weekend because I’m part of the debate team.

So I know I’ll be able to afford a car because of some already saved up money and I’m not thinking of a brand new one, just buying one off of an old family friend for an EXTREME discount.

Which car should I go with? Is there one not here that you think would make a better choice?
Thanks for all the help :D and not just with the whole car advice but with the insurance and other things. You all were a ginormous help.

A: Some of the SUV’s your looking at are serious family cars… i mean 7 passengers? thats a ton…

Your mazda Cx-9 is virtually built for the dad with a family. it gives him power. handling and just that jerk he can when he wants to get the kids to school faster. the CX-9 is based on power.

Of these i like the Honda CR-V i used to have a 2005, and i liked it. Though my friend had a honda element and he got better gas milage, (WAY BETTER) and it still sat a few. As for a “light” car… I imagine your worried about slipping off the road? heavier cars usually slip more… and also they are worse on gas. lighter cars dont blow away in the wind. cars now a days are built light, and more aerodynamic to help them stay firmly planted on the road. also lighter cars stop faster then heavier ones… seeing how there breaks and tires dont work as hard as the lighter cars do….

These cars are all very nice family SUV’s. Though if you are going to be driving 5 days out of the week by yourself. get something that for you… Id seriously look into a actual car. something you could enjoy. or instance a new Honda Civic. and you can still play taxi on the weekends. or, you could look into a volvo wagon. those usually sit a few more then your typical sedan. Im a firm believer that one should buy an suv if it wont be utilized fully. if it doesnt have.
1. A strong powerful engine
2. rock solid transmission
3. 4 wheel drive, or (AWD)
4. the “L” gear
5. high enough off the ground.
6. and of course, high safety features.

You dont want to just look at the seats and the safety features… seeing how they wont matter if the car is on recall or broke the majority of time.. look up the car reviews and they’ll often tell you the problems with the cars.. go test driving with your mother. she’ll also help you decide seeing how she has had more experience.

The best of luck.
