Released at the Montreal Auto Show in 2012, The Honda Gear concept car is the perfect vehicle for Generation Y.

The Gear concept isn't just a sub-compact concept vehicle, but provides a whole new way of looking at this type of vehicle for the younger generation. 

"Subcompact cars are usually either utilitarian, but uninspiring or they’re fun, zippy cars that are impractical and too expensive for the Gen-Y buyer," said Dave Marek, Design Director at Honda R&D Americas, Inc. "GEAR Concept tears down those walls – it’s practical but fun, customizable, connected and affordable. Everything that young, discerning urban buyers would want in a car."

Top Off Your Brake Fluid

While it may seem overzealous, it is extremely important for the health of your vehicle to top off and check your brake fluid monthly.  Unfortunately, once exposed to air brake fluid absorbs moisture and becomes contaminated. To make sure your vehicles brakes don't malfunction, wipe the dirt from the master cylinder lid before opening and topping off the fluid. Make sure you never substitute other fluids, such as power-steering or transmission fluid or use fluid from a previously opened container. 
If you're concerned about the health of your vehicles brakes or want a service technician to top off your fluid, you can do so by visiting our website and scheduling a service appointment.
