Honda Odyssey repair in North Miami

The Odyssey rides like a car and carries like a van, which is why so many Miami Gardens families run one hard. School pickup, church, road trips up the Turnpike. We keep the V6, the doors and the transmission working so the van keeps up with you.

What we see on the Odyssey

Transmission slipping or flaring

Older Odysseys, especially 1999 to 2010, are known for transmission trouble. Fluid changes with the correct fluid are the best protection. Newer 9 and 10 speed vans can need software updates.

Transmission service

Sliding door stuck or grinding

We often see worn rollers, cables and latch parts on power sliding doors. It usually starts as a clunk or grind before the door stops working.

Electrical repair

Check engine light with a misfire

Odysseys with cylinder deactivation are known to foul spark plugs on some cylinders. A flashing light means slow down and get it checked soon.

Check engine light

Pulsing brake pedal

A full van is hard on front rotors, and the Odyssey is known for rotors that cause vibration. We measure them and tell you if they can be resurfaced or need replacing.

Brake repair

Timing belt service

The Odyssey V6 uses a timing belt. We do it with the water pump in one visit, since both sit behind the same cover.

Questions people ask

How often should I change the transmission fluid?
Follow the maintenance minder, which shows code 3 when it is due. With heavy stop and go driving, many owners do it every 30,000 miles. Use the fluid Honda specifies, not a universal one.
Why does my van shake when I brake on the highway?
Most of the time it is uneven front rotors. Heat from hard stops on I-95 makes it worse. We measure the rotors and show you the numbers before recommending anything.
Can you fix a sliding door without a new motor?
Often yes. Many door problems are a cable, roller, latch or sensor. We find the actual cause first, then quote only that part.
