The short answer
At Autobedrijf Willemsbrug in Rotterdam-IJsselmonde, your Honda gets a minor or major service according to the manufacturer’s service schedule. If your Honda is still under the manufacturer’s warranty, the warranty stays valid as long as the servicing follows the manufacturer’s schedule, even if you do not go to the dealer.
The price depends on the model, the engine and the mileage. Call +31 10 479 00 00 with your registration number and mileage, and we will tell you in advance what the service costs. You can also visit our workshop.
If you combine a major service with the APK (MOT), the inspection is free. You drop off your Honda Monday to Friday between 8.00 and 8.30 am, or on Saturday at 9.00 am. If extra work is needed, we call you first.

Why have your Honda serviced at Autobedrijf Willemsbrug?
We are an independent garage for all makes and an RDW-approved APK station. We service your Honda to the manufacturer’s specifications, with parts and oil that suit your car.
The Jazz and the Civic are the most common Hondas in the Netherlands. We know the petrol engines, the e:HEV hybrid system and the CVT automatic of the older Jazz. We read the service code of your Honda and carry out the work that goes with it.
What servicing does the manufacturer specify for your Honda?
Newer Hondas have a service reminder on the dashboard. It shows a letter and sometimes one or more numbers. The letter A means new engine oil and a new oil filter. The letter B stands for a full inspection of, among other things, the brakes, steering, suspension, pipes and hoses, exhaust and lights.
The numbers show extra work, such as a new cabin filter, new transmission oil, coolant, brake fluid, an air filter or spark plugs. Older Hondas without this reminder have a fixed schedule in the service book. We use the oil that Honda specifies for your engine.
We use your registration number to look up which service your Honda needs and, where possible, we read the service indicator. After the service, we reset the service reminder, if our equipment can do this.
Minor or major service for your Honda?
Which service your car needs depends on the model, the engine, the age and the mileage. A minor and a major service usually include the following:
| Part | Minor service | Major service |
|---|---|---|

| Fluids | Check and top up if needed | Check, change the brake fluid if the schedule requires it |
| Brakes and tyres | Check for wear | Thorough check, including brake discs and brake pads |
| Filters | Check | Replace the air filter and cabin filter according to the schedule |
| Spark plugs (petrol) | Not standard | Replace at the manufacturer’s interval |
| Battery | Check | Test with a battery tester |
| Timing belt (if the engine has one) | Not standard | Check whether the belt is due for replacement at the set interval |
| APK | Book separately | Free if you combine it with a major service |

At every service we follow the manufacturer’s schedule. For your Honda, we also pay extra attention to these points:

Servicing a Honda e:HEV or Honda e
The e:HEV models, such as the Jazz, Civic, CR-V, HR-V and ZR-V, have a petrol engine that gets oil, filters and spark plugs according to the service reminder. We also service the older Insight and Civic Hybrid. The electric Honda e and e:Ny1 have no engine oil. On these cars, the work covers brakes, brake fluid, tyres, the cabin filter and a check of the electric drive system.
Our mechanics hold a GMTO certificate (the Dutch qualification for working on high-voltage systems). This means they are trained to work safely on the high-voltage systems of hybrid and electric cars. Read more about servicing hybrid and electric cars (in Dutch).
How much does a service for your Honda cost?
The price of a service differs from car to car. The model, the engine, the specified oil and the mileage determine what needs to be done and which parts are needed. That is why we do not give an amount on this page.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty on your Honda stay valid?
Yes. Having your car serviced at an independent garage does not void your manufacturer’s warranty, as long as the servicing follows the manufacturer’s schedule and uses suitable parts and oil. This follows from the European rules for the motor industry. Extra warranties or mobility services from the brand may be linked to servicing at a dealer. We record the service in our system and, if you have a service book, in that too. You receive an invoice listing all the work. Keep it in a safe place.
