  • Valve stems
  • Taxes
  • Towing
  • Coverage extended to seasonal tires

Key Benefits of Road Hazard Protection

Choosing this protection plan means more peace of mind when driving and fewer surprises when you need repairs. Unlike limited plans, this program is backed by complete protection rather than partial reimbursement. Drivers benefit from:

  • No deductible for covered repairs or replacements
  • Coverage for all common road hazards, including nails, potholes, glass, metal, wood, and debris
  • Tire or rim replacement if damage can’t be safely repaired
  • Full coverage without prorated costs as components age

How the Program Works

Our service team wants this process to fit your schedule. If a covered road hazard damages your tire or rim, bring your vehicle to Great Lakes Honda. Our technicians will inspect the damage and determine whether a repair is possible or if replacement is necessary.

Once verified, all covered costs, including parts, labor, and associated services, are handled through the program. There’s no need to file a claim or negotiate coverage. You receive prompt service using Honda-approved components to maintain your vehicle’s performance and safety.

Who Should Consider This Protection?

This program is a practical choice for nearly every Honda driver. Whether you commute daily, travel long distances, or drive locally, road hazards are out there, and many are unavoidable. It’s especially beneficial for:

  • Drivers in areas with frequent potholes or construction
  • Owners of newer vehicles who want to protect their investment
  • Drivers using seasonal or performance tires
  • Anyone looking to avoid unexpected repair costs

Many third-party or “low-cost” plans offer limited or prorated coverage, meaning the plan covers less and you pay more as the vehicle ages. With our dealership’s coverage, you avoid those limitations and get consistent, full-value coverage throughout the term.
