Safety Concerns
Front Brake Pad Replacement
3mm remaining · Min safe threshold: 4mm
Critical
$220–$280 Estimated
LM
Lucas Martinez · ASE Certified Tech
Your front pads are at 3mm — below the safe limit. I noticed metal-on-metal contact beginning on the inner pad. Driving on these risks rotor damage, which would add $180+ to the repair. I strongly recommend addressing this today.
How This Work is Done
1
Vehicle raised & wheels removed
Your car is safely lifted on a hydraulic lift and the front wheels are removed to access the brake assembly.

Removed wheel Removed wheel
2
Brake caliper removed & inspected
The caliper housing is unbolted and slid off the rotor. Caliper function and piston seal are checked for leaks or wear.

3
Old pads removed, rotor surface measured
Worn pads are pulled out. The rotor is measured with a micrometer — if within spec, it's resurfaced; if too thin, it's replaced.

4
New pads installed & caliper compressed
Fresh OEM-grade pads are seated, caliper piston compressed, and the caliper is re-torqued to factory spec (80 ft-lbs).

5
Wheels reinstalled, brake bedding completed
Wheels are torqued back on. A low-speed braking break-in transfers pad material evenly onto the rotor surface for optimal stopping power.

Maintenance Items
Cabin Air Filter Replacement
Last replaced at 42,000 mi · Due every 15,000–25,000 mi
Recommended
$45–$70 Estimated
LM
Lucas Martinez · ASE Certified Tech
The existing filter is visibly clogged with pollen, dust and debris at 32,000 miles since last change. This directly reduces your AC/heat efficiency and air quality. Quick swap — usually under 15 minutes.
How This Work is Done
1
Glove box removed to expose filter housing
The glove compartment is released by squeezing its side tabs, dropping it open to reveal the rectangular filter housing behind the dashboard.

2
Old filter slid out, new filter installed
The clogged filter is removed and replaced with a fresh OEM-spec filter — inserted with the airflow arrow pointing toward the vehicle's interior.
3
Glove box re-secured & system tested
Glove box snapped back in place. AC and recirculation modes are tested to confirm proper airflow and no rattles.
Tire Rotation & Balance
Rear tires showing uneven wear pattern on inner shoulder
Recommended
$35–$55 Estimated
LM
Lucas Martinez · ASE Certified Tech
Rear tires are wearing on the inner shoulders — a sign of slight toe misalignment combined with lack of rotation. Moving tires now will even wear across all four and extend tire life by 8,000–10,000 miles. You're also due for a balance check.
How This Work is Done
1
All four wheels removed & inspected
Tires are removed, tread depth measured at six points, and the rotation pattern is determined based on wear (typically an X or forward-cross pattern).
Illustration — X-Pattern Rotation

2
Balancing: weights adjusted on each rim
Each wheel is spun on a balancing machine to find heavy spots. Small adhesive or clip-on weights are added to counterbalance vibration at highway speeds.
3
Wheels re-installed & torqued to spec
All four wheels go back on in the new rotation positions, torqued to Honda's spec (80 ft-lbs), and tire pressures set to 32 psi.

Advisory

Monitor & Watch
Wiper Blade Replacement
Minor streaking observed · Approaching end of useful life
Advisory
$28–$45 Estimated
LM
Lucas Martinez · ASE Certified Tech
Wipers are leaving a small streak in the lower sweep area — the rubber is starting to stiffen. Not urgent, but worth replacing before winter or any rainy weather. This is an easy and inexpensive fix.
How This Work is Done
1
Wiper arm lifted, old blade unclipped
The wiper arm is raised to the service position. The blade is unhooked from the J-hook connector — a simple squeeze-and-pull motion.
2
New Bosch Icon beam blade snapped on
Replacement blades are aligned with the wiper arm connector and clicked into place. Beam-style blades conform better to windshield curves than traditional framed blades.
3
Wipe test performed
Water is sprayed and wipers cycled at all speeds to confirm a streak-free, smooth sweep with no chatter or skip across the glass.

Nice Difference® Warranty Included
All approved services are covered for 3 years / 36,000 miles — whichever is longer.
