What does Honda’s warranty and maintenance coverage mean for a first visit?
Honda’s published warranty covers defects in the first years of ownership, while routine maintenance such as oil changes is normally the owner’s cost unless a specific program applies to your vehicle. Ask your service advisor what applies to your model and purchase date before approving any work.
The published terms differ by model. The Honda Accord’s basic warranty runs 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first (Honda, 2026), and the Honda CR-V’s basic warranty carries the same 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first (Honda, 2026). For a used-car owner, the terms for certified pre-owned Hondas are set out by American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (Honda Certified Pre-Owned) (2026): HondaTrue Certified covers 2021 to 2026 vehicles with under 80,000 miles, and adds powertrain coverage of 7 years or 100,000 miles, plus non powertrain coverage for 2 additional years or up to 100,000 miles.
