HondaLink® Reminders

To set up your automatic Honda service schedule, you’ll just need to download the HondaLink® app on iOS or Android. You’ll also need your VIN (vehicle identification number). Once you’re connected, your app will automatically track when your next service stop is coming up. Service schedule reminders are included with HondaLink Basic, so it’s complimentary for every new driver.

Maintenance Minder™ Reminders

Most 2026 Honda models include an on-board Maintenance Minder feature, which will alert you to service needs based on in-car diagnostics. When it displays an alert, you can simply look up the Service Reminder code to see if you need oil changes, tire rotations, or anything else.

Older Models

If your car isn’t equipped with HondaLink or Maintenance Minder, you’ll need to track your service stops the old-fashioned way. Reference your owner’s manual to see your recommended service intervals, and set up your Honda service schedule accordingly. Even if your car isn’t connected through HondaLink, there are many specialty apps for tracking car service, ranging from simple apps for everyday drivers to advanced tracking for business owners.
