Honda capped price servicing - cost, schedule & info
Matt Campbell has been at the forefront of automotive media for more than a decade, working not only on car reviews and news, but also helping manage automotive outputs across print, online, video and audio. After completing his media degree at Macquarie University, Matt was an intern at a major news organisation as part of the motoring team, where he honed his skills in the online automotive reviews and news space. He did such a good job there they put him on full time, and since then he has worked across different automotive media outlets, before starting with CarsGuide in October 2017. At CarsGuide Matt has helped shape the video output of the business, while also playing a key role in management behind the scenes, and helping in-market new car buyers make the right choice by continually evolving CarsGuide's comparison reviews. Driving more than 100 cars a year seemed like a dream to Matt when he first started out, but now it's all just part of the job - a job he loves and plans to stay in for a long time to come. Matt is also an expert in used car values, as he's always on the hunt for a bargain - be it a project beater or a prime example of the breed. He currently owns a 2001 Audi TT quattro and a 2007 Suzuki Jimny JLX.

Honda offers a capped-price servicing program for all of its current models, with the company's Australian arm labelling it Honda Tailored Servicing for vehicles sold prior to July 1, 2021, or Honda Genuine Servicing for those purchased thereafter.
According to Honda Australia, "we want to make sure that Honda servicing is tailored to your needs", and "that means guiding you through how much it costs to maintain your vehicle".
So, whether you own a Jazz or a Civic Type R, a HR-V or an Odyssey, there's a capped-price plan to suit your car.
But depending on what you own, the servicing schedule may be different. Older Honda models require maintenance every six months or 10,000km, where newer examples from the Japanese company need servicing every 12 months or 10,000km, whichever occurs first.
Those intervals are worse than plenty of competitors (many now have annual or 15,000km intervals), but Honda makes up for it with transparent pricing, including costs for additional extras.
Honda is one of the brands that now has a compelling five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty for its models, as well as a five-year roadside assist program.
Honda models require maintenance more regularly, and those short service intervals mean you could end up paying more if you do a lot of driving. Honda Tailored Servicing can be expensive as a result, but Honda Genuine Servicing is still very, very cheap. 8/10
See the table below for the average cost per service for each of the models in the Honda range, plus the service intervals applicable to each of the different variants listed.
