It has been 30k beautiful miles with my '19 Sport Touring SGP. I had a lot of great trips, moments and experiences over the past 30k/2 years of ownership. Smooth on the highway, efficient in the city. Beautiful color that always get compliments from strangers.
There had been some hiccups; some a**hole who sideswiped my parked car resulting in a new fender and bumper...; a weird squeak that is only audible from inside when the AC is running (? its not a condenser issue but its been happening since the car was new); both side marker lights burning out and had to be replaced ?‍.
On the note of servicing, I never had any major issues to be serviced. I only had my dealership perform oil changes, rotations and install the lighting kit and splash guards for me. This service needed a few items:
In order of minor -> ?
Does anyone else have experience with their dealership using non-Honda fluids and adding on products? Also the pricing was off from what the website had.
I did not complain because the cost was about $30 over what I estimated given the pricing online. However next service I will be extra careful to read the invoice and ask about the different brand fluids being used.

On the note of servicing, I never had any major issues to be serviced. I only had my dealership perform oil changes, rotations and install the lighting kit and splash guards for me. This service needed a few items:
- Oil Change
- Rotation
- Brake fluid flush
- CVT fluid flush
- Alignment
- The 2nd side marker that burnt out... pretty weird that both markers burnt out over the course of 2 years
In order of minor -> ?
- Charging for the side marker. They only charged $4.40 for the bulb which I don't mind but the drivers side was replaced under warranty.
- Oil change was done with Mobil 1. The only reason I took it to Honda was for their oem fluids and parts. I always saw Mobil 1 on the invoice before but I thought it was because I still had the free oil changes. I read other dealerships use non-Honda engine oil but I still found it a bit weird.
- Brake fluid flush was done with "JB products". I googled it and it seems like they are referring to a brand named Justice Brothers. Still weird that the fluid isn't Honda but I read that it is normal for engine, brake oil to be non-oem.
- Now big one... On the website a transmission fluid change is $170. The service advisor also told me it was $170. However the invoice states that they charged me $212.50. And when I look at the parts, there is a line item for Justice Brothers CVT conditioner. I did not ask for this and it cost $37.95. I found this very sketchy.
Service | Website | Actual |
Oil change | $40 | $40 |
Brake Fluid | $170 | $151.65 |
CVT Service | $170 | $212.50* |
Rotation | $40 | $40 |
Alignment | $150 | $150 |
Bulb | - | $4.40 |
