Start 2026 Right: Key Maintenance Tips for Your Honda or Mazda in Nairobi

Give your vehicle a fresh start this year with expert care from DOHC Auto Ltd

Welcome to 2026. Just like personal goals, your car needs proper care. Nairobi roads are tough, and traffic, dust, and rough surfaces cause faster wear.

Regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns and saves money in the long run. Whether you drive a Honda Vezel, Honda Fit, Mazda CX-5, or Mazda Demio, these tips will keep you safe.

Expert Advice from DOHC Auto Ltd

At DOHC Auto Ltd, we specialize in Honda and Mazda vehicles. We have served Nairobi drivers since 2016. We understand common issues and know how to prevent them early.

1. Recondition Your Hybrid Battery Early

Hybrid battery health is very important. Over time, batteries lose power, which can cause jerking or weak acceleration. Full replacement is not always needed.

Battery reconditioning restores performance and costs much less than replacing the battery. Early action saves money. Explore our Honda Vezel Hybrid Battery Reconditioning service.

2. Prevent Overheating and Transmission Problems

Nairobi traffic causes heat buildup, affecting engines and transmissions. Radiator cleaning improves airflow and helps control engine temperature. Coolant flushing also boosts performance, and cooling upgrades add extra protection.

Learn why cleaning your coolant radiator matters.

3. Invest in Engine Detailing and Oil Changes

Engine detailing removes dust, oil, and hidden grime, improving reliability. Kenya’s dusty roads make this especially important. Regular oil changes protect engine parts; always use quality oil.

4. Book a Full Diagnostic Check

Start the year with a full diagnostic check. This scans the ECU, brakes, and sensors, detecting small problems early to avoid costly breakdowns. Add professional detailing for extra protection.
