2012 Honda CR-Z Maintenance

You want your Honda CR-Z to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your CR-Z could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get CR-Z maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2012 Honda CR-Z!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Honda themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your CR-Z running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2012 Honda CR-Z problems later.

Bring your 2012 Honda CR-Z to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your CR-Z. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 2012 Honda CR-Z be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your CR-Z may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Honda CR-Z battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty CR-Z) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Honda CR-Z won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2012 Honda CR-Z's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2012 CR-Z. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2012 Honda CR-Z.

Routine upkeep for your Honda CR-Z suspension and steering system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform Honda CR-Z suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Honda CR-Z's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Honda CR-Z maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Honda CR-Z engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is your Honda CR-Z radiator in need of replacement? We can take care of that. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re on it.
