The vehicle focused on efficiency, while still being fun to drive. It became available in the United States as a 1973 model.

It’s easy to be swayed by the low cost of a used Honda SUV. However, there are many reasons to consider a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle instead, including their stricter qualifications and extra warranty coverage. Clark Knapp Honda is outlining each option to help you determine which is right for you. more Advantages of Buying Used You can save significantly by buying a pre-owned Honda SUV rather than a new one. Plus, they usually have lower added costs, too. For example, it usually costs less to insure a used car. However, we know that some buyers worry about the reliability of a used vehicle, and that’s where a Honda Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle comes in. Honda CPO Overview With a Honda CPO vehicle, you don’t have to worry about whether your vehicle is reliable – we make sure that it is. Our CPO vehicles, also known as HondaTrue Certified vehicles, must be a 2020 model or newer, have less than 80,000 miles, and have a clean CARFAX™ vehicle history report. Then, we put them through a stringent 182-point inspection process to ensure that everything works exactly as it should. If it doesn’t, we will carefully recondition it to meet our exacting standards. Other Honda CPO Benefits Peace of mind is arguably the biggest benefit of a HondaTrue Certified vehicle. To make sure you absolutely never have to worry, we add several extra benefits, including: Limited Warranty Powertrain Coverage – seven years or 100,000 miles (whichever comes first) Limited Warranty Non-Powertrain Coverage – two additional years or up to 100,000 miles Roadside assistance (throughout the duration of your warranty) Two complimentary oil changes within the first year or 12,000 miles 90-day SiriusXM® satellite radio trial Find Your Used Honda SUV in Pharr, TX We have a wide range of Honda CPO and used SUVs to choose from at our Honda dealership in Pharr, TX, and we’re confident we can help you find your perfect fit.

Your suspension plays a critical role in your vehicle. If your ride doesn’t feel quite as smooth as it once did, it’s important to schedule Honda suspension service right away. Clark Knapp Honda is sharing a few signs that indicate it’s time for suspension service. more Your Suspension’s Role A suspension’s primary purpose is to help your tires maintain contact with the ground. It helps to absorb road shocks and minimize vibrations while you drive. This enhances your vehicle’s stability, handling, and performance, which improves your driving experience overall. How it Works Your suspension system is primarily composed of springs and dampers. The springs are designed to support the weight of your vehicle and absorb bumps and vibrations while you drive. The dampers (also known as shock absorbers) control your suspension’s movement, which also helps to minimize any excessive bouncing. Suspension Service As a general rule of thumb, your vehicle will need suspension service every 50,000 to 100,000 miles, although your system should be inspected annually. Keep in mind, this recommendation can vary, depending on your vehicle and your driving conditions. We recommend checking your owner’s manual to see what the specific recommendation is for your vehicle. Warning Signs If your vehicle isn’t performing like it should, it’s important to schedule service as soon as possible before the issue evolves into something more expensive. Warning signs that you need suspension service include: A bumpy ride on smooth surfaces Excessive bouncing Your car pulls to one side Uneven tire wear Knocking noises from your suspension area Visible leaks Schedule Honda Suspension Service in Pharr, TX Your suspension can make a huge difference when it comes to your ride quality. If yours is showing signs of damage or wear, it’s time to see our experts. Stop by Clark Knapp Honda for suspension service today!
