Spring Service and Maintenance near Newark, NJ
After a long winter, your Honda vehicle deserves some careful attention to make sure it’s ready to handle the unique challenges of spring and the summer still to come. We here at Metro Honda’s Service Department assembled this to-do list of service and maintenance tasks that will help make sure your CR-V or Civic is prepared for the months ahead!
Cabin Air Filter Service
Your Honda model’s heating and cooling system likely got put to serious use over the course of a Newark winter, so spring is a great time to check on the status of its cabin air filter. Typically accessible through the Pilot or Odyssey’s glovebox, it’s critical for keeping outside debris from entering the vehicle. Whether you stop by to let our technicians have a look or pop it out yourself, you’ll want to replace it if it’s coated with dust, grime, and dirt. With spring’s heavy pollen counts, drivers with seasonal allergies can use an activated carbon filter to enjoy some extra comfort.
Tire Inspection and Replacement
Once the weather starts warming up, you’ll want to schedule a service appointment and get your Honda's winter tires replaced with a set of all-season or summer options. They’re made of specialized rubber that wears out significantly faster on hot pavement and typically don’t handle as well in dry conditions, so swapping them out protects them for next winter and ensures safer, more confident steering on I-95. If you didn’t put on a set of winter tires on your Prologue or Passport last fall, you should still be sure to check the pressure and tread levels of the current ones to ensure they are at the levels recommended in the door jamb or Owner’s Manual.
Windshield Wipers and Fluid Checks
The snow and ice of winter quickly wear down the rubber on a set of windshield wiper blades, so swapping out an old pair ahead of the spring rains is essential. Our Parts Department can provide genuine Honda replacements so that your vision will stay clear even when a sudden downpour disrupts your plans to visit Weequahic Park. With the weather warming up, it’s also a good time to stop by our Service Department for a routine maintenance appointment. Our technicians can confirm that the oil, coolant, and transmission fluids in your Ridgeline or Accord are all set for you to enjoy traveling around the city.

I don’t know who Jason Brown is.
“ I don’t know who Jason Brown is. It asked me to review Jason Brown, but he is not my sales person. Ashraf Ghobrial worked with me and my 5 star rating is directed towards him. He was amazing and went above and beyond by picking me up in front of the KIA dealership in the car I wanted to test drive. I went with Honda because KIA screwed me over. Ash got me in a great car and I am very happy. ”
“ Lee, Was amazing sales rep.. I has so many options and he knew what I was looking for.. He was so friendly, energetic, full of energy and was so patient with me especially when i was undecided. I recommend Lee to be your Sale Rep in the future. Ask for Lee at the front desk. Thanks you Lee. ”

“ I recently purchased a vehicle from Metro Honda and worked with Lee throughout the process. While there were a few hiccups along the way, most of them were outside of his control. What stood out was how professional and attentive Lee remained from start to finish. He was patient, catered to all of my requests, kept me informed, and always had a smile on his face. Anytime an issue came up, he apologized for the inconvenience and did his best to find a solution. I never felt pressured, and he genuinely worked to make the deal happen. At the end of the day, we were able to come to an agreement, and I appreciate the effort Lee put in to earn my business. If you’re shopping at Metro Honda, I’d recommend asking for him. ”
“ I tried to schedule a service appointment - they have a terrible AI system, which put me on hold for ages, and when the system said I could leave a number and someone would call back - I did so - and never got a callback. I also emailed Elvis one of their service staff to ask someone to call me back - no answer. They dont have an online schedule system either. So frustrating !! ”
“ I brought my Ridge in for a recall that was supposed to take 3 hours. It took 5 1/2 hours. I wasn't given any paperwork but was told it would be emailed same day. Two days passed and still no paperwork and the service rep is unreachable. ”
“ Catalina Esteves, perhaps in attempt to make a sales pitch, sent me a derogatory message giving me "one last chance" to reply to a service recall. I have been serviced religiously at Hudson Honda and never been to Metro Honda, not sure how it is imperative, so far it is only disturbing... ”
“ Very disappointing service experience. I scheduled an appointment for a simple recall repair on the tire pressure compressor unit and confirmed the expected service time beforehand. After arriving on time, I ended up waiting nearly 3 hours while repeatedly being told it would take “a little more time.” In the end, the repair was not even completed, and I had to leave without having the recall addressed. What makes this especially frustrating is that I specifically asked about the timeline before booking the appointment. I understand delays can happen, but keeping customers waiting for hours without clear communication and then sending them away without completing the work is unacceptable. This was a complete waste of my time and not the level of service I expected from a dealership. ”
“ (Translated by Google) The worst service. I bought a 2026 CRV about eight months ago, and it's been having problems for about two months. I've taken it to this dealership about seven times, and they haven't been able to fix anything. They always tell me something different and never solve the problem. They also refuse to take the car back and say that if I leave it there, it will ruin my credit. (Original) El peor servicio, compre un carro hace aproximadamente unos 8 meses un carro crv 2026, el carro tienes como dos meses dando problemas lo he llevado como 7 veces a este dealer y no an podido resolver nada, siempre me dice algo diferente y no soluciona el problema….tampoco quieren aceptar el carro de regreso y me dicen que si lo dejo hay me van a dañar el crédito. ”
“ Terrible dealership. If you’re looking to get disrespected and harassed then by all means work with them otherwise. Avoid at all costs! ”
“ Very disappointed in the service that I received from this company. I experienced a lot of back and forth information between multiple with no solution. Today my temp plates expired. They waited an entire month to even explain that the information that I gave for the lien release wasn’t sufficient enough for them to give me the official plates. I called in because I was told that they received everything today and nobody ever informed me that I would need to be at the dealership at a certain time to receive my plates. Instead they told me that the lady Tina who does them has left for the day. This information is coming for an additional person. Very disappointed at how they disregard the needs of their customers. Clearly after you spend your money they no longer feel obliged to make sure the service that you receive is sufficient. I would never recommend them to anyone. ”
“ They don’t know how to talk with customers, I have seen one of the sales person mad at one poor customer and telling them to get out from here. Such a bad people there! Never ever buy anything from there. I went out as well without doing any deal with them. ”
“ The worst experience ever. The staff is extremely rude. The manager literally came over where I was sitting and started talking loudly. He then literally started talking loudly while I was politely asking him questions. Would never recommend anyone to go through this. ”
“ Lee is a wonderful salesman and went above and beyond for us to have this car thank you Honda for all of your years of service, The Olanipekun Family. ”
