Inside the 2020 Honda Pilot

Design

The 2020 Honda Pilot has the same classic style but with a few modern upgrades. Low-beam LED headlights and automatic-dimming side mirrors frame the bold, front fascia of the Pilot, giving it a more confident and sporty appeal. The available gloss black grille and trim contrasts vividly against available colors, such as Steel Sapphire, Black Forest, Lunar Silver, and Deep Scarlet.

The Pilot is spacious and versatile, able to accommodate up to eight passengers or 109 cu. ft. of cargo space. The Elite model comes with available second-row captain’s chairs for extra comfort and luxury. Second-row sunshades provide some reprieve from the sun and offer a comfortable space for naptime on long roadtrips. 

Load and unload groceries or gear with ease via the available hands-free power tailgate, which opens with a simple wave of your foot beneath the bumper.

Performance

Family life requires a lot of mileage. That’s why you need a car that’s reliable and powerful enough to tackle the busy days ahead. The Pilot is powered by a 3.5L V6 engine that delivers an impressive 280 horsepower. 

Available all-wheel drive (AWD) ensures you maintain traction, even during the icy winter months. The Intelligent Traction Management system lets you toggle between four driving modes, including Normal, Snow, Mud, and Sand. That means you can tackle even the most challenging terrains with confidence. 

Safety and Tech

The Pilot keeps your family connected and entertained. Rear passengers can control audio and climate features using the CabinControl™ app to keep themselves comfortable. The Advanced Rear Entertainment System streams DVDs, Blue-ray™, and their favorite apps to keep passengers occupied.

There are three main types of car scratches: clear coat scratches, primer scratches, and paint scratches. Paint and primer scratches are more severe than clear coat scratches, and they may involve professional services.

However, when it comes to superficial clear coat scratches, these can often be fixed at home. Here are the steps to DIY car scratch removal.

5 Steps to Removing Car Scratches

Note that before taking the steps below, you will want to assess the scratch to see if it’s a surface scratch or a deeper one. For deeper scratches, please bring the vehicle in to a service center.

1. Wash and Dry

Start by thoroughly washing and drying the area where the scratch is. You’ll want to make sure the dirt and debris is completely removed from the car.

2. Prepare Toothpaste or a Scratch Removal Product

You can use either toothpaste or a car scratch removal product for this next step. You can find these products at an auto supply shop or home improvement store.

Toothpaste method:

Take a clean, dampened microfiber towel and apply a quarter-sized amount of whitening toothpaste onto the towel. This amount can vary a bit depending on how big the scratch is.

Scratch removal product method:

Take a microfiber cloth or buffing pad and apply a quarter-sized amount of the product to it. This amount can vary a bit depending on how big the scratch is.

3. Rub Toothpaste or Product Into Scratch

Work the toothpaste or product into the surface of the vehicle where the scratch is. Use a circular motion — though with the scratch removal product you can also apply it in a back-and-forth motion. Apply light to medium pressure as you do this, and do this for a few minutes.

4. Wipe or Buff Off the Toothpaste or Product

For the toothpaste, you’ll want to rinse it off. For the product, you’ll want to use another clean, dry microfiber cloth to wipe it off thoroughly.

5. Repeat

If you used toothpaste, repeat this process up to two times. If you used the product, repeat up to three times.

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on How to Remove Scratches From Your Car

It’s easy to not realize the importance of taking care of your car’s tires until something happens. But waiting too long to replace worn-out tires comes with risk — according to a NHTSA study, the more worn down the tread on your tires is, the more likely you are to experience a tire-related crash.

But how do you know when you need to consider replacing your tires? 

5 Ways to Know You Should Replace Your Tires

1. Tread Depth

Adequate tread depth ensures your tires have the traction they need on the road, and especially in inclement weather like when it’s raining or snowing. To gauge your tire’s tread depth, you should try this penny test: Place a penny, head first, in between the tire’s tread blocks/grooves. Look to see if the top of Lincoln’s head is visible. If it is, then your tire’s tread depth is too low.

2. Tread Wear

Excessive tread wear can be identified by looking at your tire’s tread pattern. The tread pattern in the middle of the tire can become worn down quickly if your tire is overinflated. If the edges of the tire are worn down, it is likely that you’re driving on underinflated tires.

If there appears to be excessive wear on any of the read pattern on your tire, bring your car in for a tire inspection.

3. Sidewall Cracks or Gouges

The sidewalls of a tire are exactly what they sound like — the sides of the tire. Your tire may need to be replaced if you see any signs of damage, such as cracks or gouges.

4. Bulges or Blisters

Bulges or blisters can form on the surface of a tire if there are weak spots on the tire. If you notice either of these things on your tire, take in to be serviced.

5. Excessive Vibration

While some vibration while driving is to be expected, excessive vibration could point to worn-out tires. This type of vibration or shaking could be a sign of one of these tire-related issues:

• Tire misalignment
• Unbalanced wheel
• Worn-out shock absorbers

At the Asheboro Honda service center in North Carolina, we will ensure you get the most out of your tires with regular rotations and repair.

For anyone seeking a crossover SUV, Honda offers several appealing options. The largest of these is the full-sized Honda Pilot, while the Honda CR-V appeals to those who want something more compact. Somewhere in the middle is the new Honda Passport — and for many drivers, this medium-sized SUV turns out to be just right.

The best way to discover the Passport is to come test drive one for yourself at Asheboro Honda. Here’s an overview of some of the things people love most about the 2019 Honda Passport.

What You’ll Find in the 2019 Passport

Performance

It comes with a 3.5L V6 engine that puts out 280 horsepower — perfect for towing light cargo and for accelerating down the highway. This crossover is also available with torque-vectoring all-wheel drive that reduces slippage on wet surfaces and dirt while allowing for better overall handling.

You’ve probably heard you should get your oil changed every 3,000 miles. Or was it 5,000? Or every three months?

No matter. We’ve got you covered. Below are three vital signs your car needs an oil change.

When to Get an Oil Change

While 3,000 to 5,000 miles is usually a pretty good estimate, it’s only that — an estimate. Things like climate, type of oil used, and driving style can all have an impact on the life of a batch of oil.

The best way to know when you need to schedule your next oil change is to listen to what your car is telling you. Look for these signs.

Your oil appears dark and dirty

As oil ages, it thickens up due to all of the particles it collects from the engine, which makes it darker in appearance. Thicker oil does not provide as effective of lubrication as newer, thinner oil, which has more of an amber-colored look. Check the color of the oil on your dipstick. A good rule of thumb is that if you can’t see the dipstick through the oil, it’s time for a change.

Your engine sounds louder than usual

Because older oil is less effective at lubricating the engine, there will be more friction as parts rub against each other. This increased friction can be noisy and even produce a “knocking” sound.

Your dashboard lights are on

This one may sound like a no-brainer, but many vehicles will have an oil pressure indicator on the dashboard that illuminates when the car senses that it’s in need of service. The oil light typically looks like an oil lamp sometimes with a small drop falling from the nozzle. On some cars, a low oil level can even trigger the check engine light.

When You Might Have an Oil Leak

Even worse than needing an oil change is having an oil leak. Not only is it dangerous to drive a car with a low oil level, but doing so can cause expensive or irreparable damage to the engine.

Your dashboard oil light or check engine light can indicate a low oil level, while two additional signs of an oil leak include:

• Excessive smoke coming from the exhaust
• A noticeable oil smell inside the cabin

Schedule Your Oil Change in Asheboro, NC

If you suspect your car needs an oil change, schedule a service appointment with the factory-trained technicians at Asheboro Honda in Asheboro, North Carolina. We’ll match the right kind of oil to your car, check your other fluids, and alert you of any additional service needs to keep your vehicle running safe and smooth.
