Singapore Honda Club

Does anyone have any good Honda specialist workshop to recommend? I hv been having problems with the brakes on my Odyssey and KM cant fix it. Any suggestions where I can go?[/b]

your ordy owner's group folder should have discussion on this area. pls go there to join them and see if yours is a common problem.

What problem? care to describe?

KM can't identify the problem or can't solve your described problem?

prolly fellow ody owners can help you...

its a screeching sound when applying brakes. At first i thot its worn out pads but KM says its dirt/sand trapped in the brake and not wear n tear or a any defect. they clean it and its ok for a few days then the problem comes back. i didnt hv this problem with the Stream or Accord b4. Hv given up talking to them.

Which KM workshop u went to?
U might want to visit another KM workshop to seek alternate opinions

i went to the one at LengKee, then the one at Ubi. Both said the same. Frankly I dont think they do a good job when it comes to diagnosis of problems. If u know of any gd independent workshops that svc Hondas, pls let me know....many thks

got sound during braking...
is either due to brake pads or brake disk.

reasons y got sound..
brake pads -- improper run in, worned, high preformance pads

brake disk -- worned, damaged (etc.. warp, uneven...)

thanks. your reasons sound more logical. KM svc is terrible, I used to own a Stream and they also never managed to fix the problems that I complained abt. Only reason to go to their workshop is bcos of the 3 yr warranty period.

PM sent.

does your braking sound only occurs in the morning?

I have this braking sound as well, and it only in the morning. The brake pad is still 85%. In the end, i changed the brake pad. Now, no problem already.

The problem solved but KM should at least took out yr brake pads and applied grease (high temp grease) at the back of brake pads (not on the pads amt'ls of course but the back of it where the brake pistons pushes the pads onto the brake discs).

For all you know when u replaced the pads, they applied the grease.
The grease is thick greyish color.
Anyway, it already changed. But hope u still had the pads that were removed.

Revived this old thread cos my odc also faced this same sound especially during morning. KM lengkee said is NORMAL due to dust generated from 4 disc brakes.

During my 60k svc they just clean the brake and sound gone for few days and back again

hi guys and gers,

can intro n PM me the address of the workshop also? thanks in advance

not just KM laa all the same trust me
