Owning a Honda Passport provides freedom to explore backroads and mountain trails with confidence thanks to its renowned reliability. However, even reliable vehicles require maintenance and repairs over time. Are you noticing any concerning symptoms in your Passport? Bring your SUV to our Fremont shop serving Union City to protect your investment and safety.
What type of driving do you use your Passport for most? How many miles have you logged? Preventative maintenance tailored to your needs keeps problems at bay.
Diagnose and Repair Transmission Failures
Transmissions connect the engine to the wheels, making smooth acceleration and cruise possible through gears and fluid. Passports from 1998-2002 often suffer slips, delays, or complete failures. Rebuilding or replacing faulty transmissions prevents getting stranded. We determine the root causes like low fluid, leaks, worn clutches, or bad solenoids. Proper diagnosis guides the best fix – flush, rebuild, or replace.

Restore Suspension and Handling
Shocks and struts wear out over miles driven, diminishing ride comfort and control. Rough rides, uneven tire wear, and loose steering signify needed repairs. Worn suspension components like control arms require replacement as well. Our technicians thoroughly inspect each element and replace shocks, struts, springs or bushings as needed. Proper suspension maintenance enhances safety by enabling stability, braking, and handling.

Stop Engine Misfires
When one or more cylinders fail to fire properly, misfires occur causing rough running, poor efficiency, and stalling. Faulty spark plugs and ignition coils prevent proper combustion. Clogged fuel injectors and intake leaks also trigger misfires. Our diagnostic tools pinpoint the root cause, whether parts replacements or system repairs. Smooth performance returns through prompt attention to misfires.

Repair Radiator Leaks
Coolant leaks indicate potentially serious radiator issues. Catching problems early prevents catastrophic overheating and resulting engine damage. Signs include coolant puddles, sweet smells, rising temperature gauges. We pressure test cooling systems to identify leak locations for accurate repairs. We’ll determine if minor leaks require resealing, or major corrosion necessitates radiator replacement. Proper cooling system operation protects the engine.
When did you last have your Passport’s cooling system inspected? Small leaks can quickly escalate without attention.
Replace Failing Fuel Pumps
Delivering adequate fuel pressure enables smooth acceleration and power. Over time, pump failures create hard starts, sputters, and power loss. The root causes – bad pumps, filters, or damaged system wiring – require prompt diagnosis. We determine if new pumps, filters, or wire repairs resolve your symptoms. Reliable fuel delivery prevents frustrations through timely diagnosis and expert troubleshooting.

Replace Timing Belts
The critical timing belt on 1998-2002 Passports with 3.2L V6 engines needs replacement around 105,000 miles. Preventative maintenance prevents belt breakage, resulting valve and piston damage creating engine destruction and costliness. Our technicians skillfully replace your timing belt, water pump, tensioners and associated components. Staying ahead of problems through regular timing belt services protects your investment.

Repair Exhaust Leaks
Pipes and gaskets eventually rust, crack or break, allowing harmful exhaust gases to leak into cabins. Beyond loud noises and smells, carbon monoxide poses serious health risks to drivers and passengers. Inspections locate exact leak points needing repair – we replace faulty gaskets, pipes, resonators, or mufflers as needed. Comprehensive exhaust repairs restore safety and quietness.
