VIDEO: Honda Pride aftersales experience in detail

To most people, buying a car can be a very euphoric experience. Truth be told, that’s really just the first step into the full car ownership experience. What comes after that is equally as important – aftersales.

With Honda now selling more cars than ever before, the company is committed to provide customers with matching aftersales treatment. This is where Honda Pride comes into the picture. Whether you’re driving a brand new or older Honda model, you will be entitled to 12 specially-designed aftersales benefits, each curated for your peace of mind.

For starters, all Honda cars go through a comprehensive preventive maintenance service schedule, and newer models now come now come with a 10,000 km service interval, up from every 5,000 km from before. Because of this, components like the fuel strainer and pollen filter have been upgraded for better durability.

Honda also offers free labour service for alternate visits. What’s more, there’s a minimum of 15% discount for genuine parts, and the Bulk Oil System ensures that you only pay for the exact volume of engine oil your vehicle requires. That way, wastage is reduced as well.

All Honda technicians are certified, which guarantees high levels of workmanship. Furthermore, the service facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art tools for accurate diagnostics. For an extra peace of mind, all Honda cars come with a five-year unlimited mileage warranty, and there’s even a comprehensive Honda Insurance Package (HIP) for yourself and your beloved car.

Of course, HIP offers a wide range of services, including a 24-hour emergency towing assistance. Last but not least, there’s a comfortable, air-conditioned lounge with Wi-Fi and complimentary F&B to make your visit a more pleasant experience. For kids, well, the kids’ play room should keep them entertained for hours.

Find out everything you need to know about Honda Pride in the video above. What do you think of this initiative, guys? Comment below!

    They seems to be more interested to sell non relevant product / services such as fuel injectors cleaner service, oil additive etc. Our office car (Honda Accord) is less than 1 year old and have done only about 40 K km and the total service cost came to about MYR 1K….ridiculous.

      Lets not kid our-self. If U buy any car that is 2.0 liter & above, the servicing cost will always be expensive regardless of brand. Caveat Emptor/Buyer Beware B4 signing the dotted line.

      I will warn all Honda owners before bringing your car for service: Print out the service recommendation according to your mileage from the official Honda website.
      All the fuel injector cleaner/service and oil additive is not mandatory. Dealers all want to make extra money from you. Perform only the recommended options. Otherwise, be prepared to empty your wallets.

    Yes, Honda is focusing on all those bit how good can it be? Honda was rated lowest in the last JD Power survey. Since all Honda outlets are owned by dealers, look at how owners are treated. The dealers have no passion in automotive business, they just want money. Next rating Honda must make sure it is in top 3.

  • My brand new CRV 1.5 TCP is defective and have strange noise at front end for a brand new car with under 100km mileage. Still after several visit to service centre the problem can’t be solved even after changing the front wheel bearing. Hate to hear from Honda mechanic state that a normal sound. This is the first time buying Honda and felt very annoying and disappointed. Still waiting the solution but with mileage counting until the warranty gone. I feel want to sell back the car. I feel very regret bought the car.

  • Dear Matthew,

    Could you remark that the 10,000km only apply to naturally aspirated engines.
    the service interval for force induction engine was much less than that.

      Every 5-7k for oil + filter change (SC warned filter does not last until B maintenance or >10k better change everytime when changing oil) and schedule maintenance is on separate time making you running in and out SC every 4-5k

        So what’s the point of 10000km interval service if at the end of day you still go to SC every 5k?

    The issue isn’t the Quality of After Sales Service. There is no doubt of Honda commitment to doing a good job.

    The issue is the lack of After Sales (Service) Centres to cater to the huge increase in sales these past few years. Existing After Sales Centres are bursting at the seams catering to existing customers, despite working 7 days a week. They simply can’t cope with the demand.

    Yes, Honda Malaysia has opened 1S purely dedicated After Sales (Service) Centres but this brilliant idea has yet to propagate in Klang Valley.

    Imagine having to make an appointment at the very least 30 days before service date. That in itself shows the fully booked appointments at each After Sales Centres. Failure to meet the strict Terms & Conditions imposed on vehicle servicing will ensure voiding of 5 Years Warranty. In the event of Warranty Claims, the onus is on the car owner & not being able to get a service appointment isn’t an excuse Honda will entertain. Although the fault isn’t the car owner, Honda will not honour the Warranty claim. All because Honda After Sales Service Centres aren’t able to cope with the demand for servicing.

  • HRV owner on Jun 04, 2018 at 8:15 pm

    My HRV is less than a year old & 14000km only, and I’ve been going in and out of the service center so many times since I got it. I was told to leave my car in the service center for 3 days and the service centre dismantled almost everything inside just because of a noise coming from the boot area. What are the people in the manufacturing plant doing about this? Can you imagine how inconvenient it is without a car for 3 days? No courtesy car can be provided summore. No more Honda cars for me.

    Honda performance is excellence. In comparison i noticed that 6 gen city body workmanship is very bad compared to brand MR T, Mr M. In fact 5th gen is much2 better. I used to say proton workmanship is bad but now honda is moving to proton position. Furthermore honda services charges is on a higher side. Next change will be other japan brand.

    KAH MOTOR HONDA in Semabok Melaka was the worst technical service experince. Mechanics simply short cut job to spoil or made dirt and scraches customer internal car compartment. When customer took down the picture for evidence and complain to Superior, the top superior could easy replied customer like which he was order subordinate to do well in repair and fix by procedure, but subordinates still unwilling to follow until spoil or scrachesd customer internal car surface compartment What The Hell.

    I am afraid my experience with Honda has forced me to look for European cars instead. I used Proton Waja for 9 years prior to my Honda Accord, I did have some problems but not with the engine bearing for its’ entire 9 years. With my Honda after 2 years I had to change it (engine bearing), worst thing is need to order despite being expensive. Again it is noisy after 1 year. The level of noise and vibration that I get from Honda which is going into its 6th year is equivalent to my old old Proton Saga.

    The idea is good but the execution need to be closely monitor. Don’t just tell people how good Honda Service centre are but instead make sure what mention above are truly deliver. Why I say this? Because i am a new Honda owner and this is not what i see at the service centre
