Honda CR-V Maintenance Timeline in Augusta, GA
At Gerald Jones Honda, we see hundreds of Honda CR-V compact SUVs roll through our bays each month, and we can tell you firsthand that proper maintenance makes all the difference. The CR-V is built to last, but like any vehicle, it needs consistent care to deliver the reliability Honda is known for. Here's your complete maintenance timeline to keep your CR-V performing at its best in Augusta.
Every 7,500 Miles or 12 Months
Your first maintenance visit is crucial for establishing a baseline for your vehicle's health. During this appointment, our technicians perform an oil and filter change using Honda Genuine Motor Oil, which is specifically formulated for your engine. We also rotate your tires to ensure even wear, inspect your brakes, check all fluid levels, and examine belts and hoses for early signs of wear. This is also when we'll review your multi-point inspection checklist with you, addressing any concerns before they become problems on I-520.
Every 15,000 Miles or 24 Months
At the 15,000-mile mark, we build on the basic service with additional checks. Beyond the standard oil change and tire rotation, we replace your cabin air filter to maintain optimal air quality inside your vehicle. We also inspect your drive belt, examine the cooling system, and check the condition of your brake pads and rotors. Many customers don't realize that their cabin air filter directly impacts HVAC efficiency and air quality, especially during allergy season.
Every 30,000 Miles or 36 Months
This is a significant service interval where we dive deeper into your CR-V's systems. In addition to the regular oil change and tire rotation, we replace your engine air filter and conduct a comprehensive brake system inspection. We'll also inspect your transmission fluid condition and check your suspension components for wear. If you have an AWD CR-V, we'll inspect the rear differential fluid as well. This service typically takes a bit longer, but it's essential for preventing major issues down the road.
Every 45,000 Miles or 48 Months
At this milestone, our Service Department performs all the standard maintenance items while paying special attention to your brake fluid. Most manufacturers recommend replacing brake fluid at this interval because it absorbs moisture over time, which can compromise braking performance and lead to corrosion in the system. We'll also conduct a thorough inspection of your exhaust system and evaluate tire tread depth to ensure you're ready for another 15,000 miles on Highway 28.
Every 60,000 Miles or 72 Months
This is your major service appointment. Along with the routine items, we replace your transmission fluid, which is critical for smooth shifting and transmission longevity. We also replace the brake fluid, inspect the valve clearance on certain models, and replace the rear differential fluid on AWD models. We'll examine your spark plugs and replace them if needed, depending on your specific model year. This service represents a significant investment, but it's far less expensive than replacing a transmission or engine.
Every 100,000 Miles and Beyond
Once you hit six figures, your CR-V enters a maintenance cycle that focuses on long-term durability. We replace the coolant, inspect the timing belt or chain depending on your engine type, and conduct an even more thorough examination of all major systems. Many CR-V models easily surpass 200,000 miles with proper maintenance, and this service sets the foundation for that longevity.
Why Stick to the Schedule?
At our dealership, we use Honda genuine parts and follow factory-specified procedures. This ensures your warranty remains intact and your vehicle performs exactly as Honda engineered it to. Our factory-trained technicians know CR-V SUVs inside and out, and we maintain detailed service records for every visit. Regular maintenance isn't just about preventing breakdowns—it's about maximizing your vehicle's resale value and ensuring your family's safety on every drive. Schedule your next service appointment today, and let us help you protect your investment.

Great experience.
Wonderful service for repairs!
“ Wonderful service for repairs! Quick, easy to set appointment, fast delivery with appointment, friendly staff right in the door, honest. I like that they only care about safety with the vehicles and not trying to roll anyone over for expensive repairs. They offered a lady in the waiting room next to me a car for the weekend since her vehicle needed extensive work. Great job all that work there. ”
People here are really not sales pushy.
“ Came here 2 yrs ago on fact-finding mission.left with Honda Pilot. People here are really not sales pushy. Outstanding service department to boot. ”
William Walker did an awesome job showing me different CRV’s
“ William Walker did an awesome job showing me different CRV’s and answering all of my questions. He rode with me several times to test drive and to demonstrate features of the car. He was professional, courteous, knowledgeable and patient. Although we didn’t close a deal this time, I will definitely ask for him next time! It was a very good experience. ”
Thank you Mr. Elam and the Honda service team.
“ With this being my first time getting an oil change I was met with welcomed and experience knowledge with Mr Elam. He instructed me on what to do this time and also next time about where to park for service. He made my visit there very pleasant and informational. I got out in a timely manner and was not late for work. Thank you Mr. Elam and the Honda service team. ”

GREAT customer service!!
“ GREAT customer service!! Awesome staff! No long waits & I highly recommended everyone to join the Honda experience!! ”
Gerald Jones Honda will be my first stop.
“ The staff was wonderful and very understanding of my situation. They asked what I needed or preferred and found the vehicle I desired with the payments under what I thought they would be. They did not push me or try to oversale like other dealerships I have been to. Next time I am in the market for another car, Gerald Jones Honda will be my first stop. ”
They were not pushy!
“ We went to the lot at what we thought was " after hours" because we did not want to be "bothered with salespeople" as we looked initially. We still encountered salespeople but to our surprise when we said we would like to just look on our own and later when we got serious at buying, they were not pushy! This was very important to us. They were all very helpful, knowledgeable and when they found that they did not have the exact car I wanted on the lot, they went in search of one for me. The deal was awesome. I highly recommend Gerald Jones Honda. ”
They helped me with my flat tire after hours!
“ I had a huge issue with my flat tire and they helped me to fix it on Saturday evening!! They’re very helpful and kind. The general manager was very supportive, polite and kind. I really suggest and approve this place and their staff! ”
Great experience finding our dream cars

Can't say enough good things about this shop.
“ Can't say enough good things about this shop. Go see Allen. He's the guy! ”
Will definitely purchase another car here again.
“ Bought a Honda Civic Sports Touring from Kendall. Really awesome guy that cut us a great deal and even stayed a bit after closing to show us every feature of our newly bought car. Every staff member there was respectable and personable, unlike another unnamed car dealership a few miles down Washington Rd. Will definitely purchase another car here again. ”
In and out fast with good service.
“ In and out fast with good service. I was out of town on a road trip with a flat tire. Very happy with the service, thank you for the help. ”
My first Honda came from Gerald Jones Honda in 1985.
“ My first Honda came from Gerald Jones Honda in 1985. I moved away not long after that, purchased several cars over the last 33 years, returned “home” last year and just bought my 5th Honda at Gerald Jones Honda! I can honestly say this was one of the best car buying experiences I have had over the years. Cam Griffin brought several cars to me at work to allow me to try different trim levels on my own. He made me laugh throughout the process and made it an awesome purchasing experience. I’m glad to have renewed my relationship with the great people at Gerald Jones Honda and look forward to many years of Honda care with them. ”
What a different experience
“ Was very apprehensive about buying a car in general due to prior bad experience. What a different experience this time. Will go back to Gerald Jones Honda again. Everyone was very helpful and friendly every step of the way. ”
Allen Baer was great
“ Our car buying experience with Gerald Jones Honda and particularly Allen Baer was great today. We’ve purchased many cars with Allen and would strongly recommend him to anyone! He’s very patient and thorough - as an example - he took notice of the temp setting in my old car and made sure to set it to the same temp in the new car before gettin g in it to drive off the lot. Allen took time to connect on a personal level - asking about family members and work, making it feel like we were doing business with a friend. The sales manager Monty was also instrumental in making this experience a good one. We hope to continue to do business with Gerald Jones ”
“ Great experience. Was running late so rep worked around and got me in within short period. Diagnosis was found quickly, part was ordered, and I was able to get out in timely fashion. Part was ordered, was available and is on its way from Atlanta. Rich Wallace. ”
