Honda Service & Performance
Garage 46 keeps Civics, CR-Vs and Accords running reliably through Manitoba winters, and builds Civic Sis and Type Rs that are as quick as they are dependable.

Cold-climate Honda maintenance
Some Honda 1.5-litre turbo engines, particularly in earlier CR-Vs, were reported to have fuel diluting the engine oil in cold weather. Honda released updates and extended coverage for affected vehicles. If you own one, keeping up with oil changes and checking for completed updates is worthwhile in a Manitoba climate.
CVT and general repairs
Many modern Hondas use a CVT, which relies on the correct fluid and service interval set by the Maintenance Minder. We also handle brakes, suspension, A/C and diagnostics for Honda cars and SUVs, and we explain what is due now and what can wait.
Civic Si and Type R performance
The Civic Si and Type R are tuneable, well-balanced cars. Calibration, intake, exhaust and intercooler upgrades add power, while tires, brakes and suspension make them faster everywhere. We keep the build reliable and street-friendly, and can source a clean Si or Type R if you are still looking.
Before you book
Honda Service & Performance questions.
What is oil dilution on the Honda 1.5 turbo?
In cold weather, some 1.5-litre turbo engines were reported to have fuel mixing into the oil, raising the oil level and thinning it. Honda issued updates for affected vehicles. Regular oil changes and confirming completed updates are sensible steps.
Can you tune a Civic Type R?
Yes. A calibration with supporting intake, intercooler and exhaust work improves power and response. We check the car’s condition first and plan the clutch, cooling and brakes for the new performance.
How often should Honda CVT fluid be changed?
Follow the Maintenance Minder and your owner’s manual for your specific transmission. Shuddering or delayed engagement is a reason to have it inspected sooner.
