Hi everyone,
I’ve been the proud owner of a 2013 Honda Civic for a while now, and while I absolutely love my car, I’ve been struggling to keep it in the condition I see in instagram videos. I’m reaching out to see if anyone here can offer some advice or recommendations.
Here’s what I’m looking to address:
Suspension Work: The ride quality isn’t what it used to be, and I think the suspension might need some attention. Any recommendations for reliable places or specialists who can handle this?
Body Work: I’m noticing some rust on the side panels and the body paint is starting to fade. Should I go for a full repaint or try to maintain the original finish? Also, any tips on dealing with rust effectively?
Rubbers and Seals: The rubbers on the doors and panels are showing signs of wear and tear. Where can I find good quality replacements or get them serviced?
Headlights and Fog Lights: I’m considering upgrading my headlights and fog lights. Any suggestions for affordable and reliable options?
Bumper Repaint and Facelift: The bumper needs a repaint. Would it be worth it to facelift the bumper, or should I stick with a simple repaint?
Engine Noise: Recently, I’ve started to notice some noise coming from the engine which wasn’t there before. Any advice on what might be causing this and how to address it?
I’m looking for advice on the best places to get this work done, whether it’s a specific shop or a type of specialist. Most importantly, What would be the cost range for this work? I want to ensure that the repairs are done right and that my Civic continues to look and drive great.
