On March 1, a group of Honda associates traveled to Stemley Road Elementary School in Talladega to share their favorite childhood stories with students in honor of annual "Read Across America" day.

Thanks everyone for such a delightful reviews!

"I don't think words can describe how pleased I was with my experience at the RSM Honda Dealership! Having recently graduated college, I've been burdened with the weight of college debt on my shoulders. This forces me to be cautious with my spending, and find the most financially sensible method of living.  Well, as life would have it, my past car was totaled and it was time to find a ride.
Fortunately, I was greeted by Jackson Hufferd at RSM Honda and I don't think I he completely realized how much grief he saved me from over spending for my car.  Not only was he genuine about helping me in my time of need, he knew everything there was to be asked about what kind of car I was looking for, but more importantly, what kind of car was right for me. I quickly explained my financial boundaries, with a few other factors about what I was hoping for, and he got me into an Accord that I loved and could afford (which is saying a lot). Jackson shattered the stereotype of a car salesman that many fear running into. He was neither rude, shady, or forceful with getting me into a car I wasn't comfortable with. RSM gets 5 stars and my service for years to come. Please, if you are looking for something to drive in, without all the hassle of dealing with troublesome car shopping, go to RSM Honda! Everyone there came was polite and helpful, but try and ask for Jackson if you can. He was awesome! I wouldn't be spending my time expressing my gratitude if it wasn't for my complete satisfaction!" - Danny T.



"Just bought a used car from here today. The salesman (Magnum) was friendly and helpful. He listened well and showed that he cared. Magnum was highly professional and relational as he worked hard to make sure we had a great experience.The finance guy was pleasant. We didn't feel any pressure and weren't treated any differently when we said 'no' to the extended warranty and alarm.When buying a car, make RSM Honda one of the places you check out. And be sure to ask for Magnum." - Chris R.



"This is one of the best dealerships I have ever been to!  I got out of my car walked up and was greeted warmly with a big smile, and all of my apprehensions about aggressive car salesman were disbanded.  Instead of being pushed to cars i didn't want to see ( like at other dealerships), the salesman listened to what I was looking for and then put me in a CR-V that was perfect!  When you go to RSM Honda, you must ask for Jackson. He was one of the most compassionate individuals I've ever worked with. He most definitely understood me and my needs as he genuinely listened to me and got to know me, so he could find the best fit for me. He just made the whole process easy and effortless. I trust his opinion and felt like he fought for me to get the best deal possible. Everyone at RSM HONDA is great. You can tell that this is a quality establishment, all the workers greeted me warmly and asked me how I was doing.  There was a great coffee machine and fresh popcorn while I waited, which was not long.  The sales process was quick and easy, and the finance managers there were GREAT!  I was so shocked at how easy it was to get through the process!  If your looking for a car, you have to stop at RSM Honda." - Melissa B.

How to Clean a Baby Car Seat

Not a day goes past I don’t get asked how to clean a baby car seat. As Mums you would know that you can expect your baby’s car seat to take quite the beating. From milk and vomit to juice spills, from poo explosions to crushed up sultanas, it can be quite the mission keeping your child’s car seat clean (not to mention the rest of your car). It is a good idea to clean the car seat as much as possible. You may want to do a good cleaning every time you clean out the rest of your car or you may only need to clean the car seat once or twice a year, depending on what habits your child has. If your bubby tends to be a spit up king, then you can expect the car seat to have quite a few stains. If your child has a tendency to want a snack in the car, then, again, you can expect more mess than a child that doesn’t eat in the car. 

• The first thing you will need to do is take the car seat out of the car and place it down on an old blanket. Take off all the baby toys that are attached to the seat as well.
• Get your vacuum and vacuum up all the dust, dirt, food and other larger particles. Try to get into the cracks of the seat as well as underneath the material by lifting it off. Use a furniture attachment to get into the hard to reach areas.
• If you can, remove the entire car seat cover and place it into the washing machine on a gentle cycle. Or, hand wash the car seat and leave it out in the sun to dry.
• If you can’t remove the entire car seat cover, then you can spot clean the really big stains and then leave the entire car seat in the sun to dry.
• For the plastic portion of your baby’s car seat you can use a gentle soap and water mixture. Use an old cloth to scrub the plastic as well as the arms which tend to get the dirtiest.
• Use a gentle mixture of soap and water to also wipe down the baby’s toys before placing them back on the car seat.
• Reinstall the car seat back into the car as per the manual. If you had a professional install the car seat, then you may need to return back to them and have them do it again. You don’t want to find out after it’s too late that the car seat was not correctly reinstalled after it was cleaned.

Now that your car seat is nice and clean, the key is to keep it this way. Apart from refusing to let your child eat in the car (which is something that usually keeps them quiet for at least part of the journey), is there anything else you can do? If you find the answer to this question, then let us know!

Honda's Accord is turning heads worldwide!

The Honda Accord sedan has been voted Canada’s Car of the Year for 2013 by the country’s automotive journalists after an extensive testing process.

“We’re thrilled to receive the great feedback that we’re continuing to raise the bar in the family car category,” said Honda Canada president Takashi Sekiguchi. “We are extremely proud to see the Accord recognized by so many of Canada’s top journalists.”

 The announcement was made yesterday (Feb. 14) at the opening of the Canadian International Auto Show (CIAS), in downtown Toronto. The 2013 Accord is powered by Honda’s “next generation” 2.4-litre, direct-injection, four-cylinder engine that offers great fuel efficiency. Honda says the sedan is the “most spacious and most fun to drive” Accord ever built.

 “This new Accord had a lot of ‘new’ about it,” said Car of the Year program chairman Richard Russell after the award was handed out. “There’s a tendency for people to like family cars that become fun. That’s what this one has done.” The Honda Accord sedan became eligible to win Car of the Year after being voted Best New Family Car (under $30,000) during the Automotive Journalists Association of Canada’s (AJAC) annual TestFest, in October. Eighty of Canada’s leading automotive journalists evaluated 180 all new or significantly new vehicles in intensive back-to-back testing in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Winners in the 11 individual categories were named after tabulating data from approximately 2,000 separate road tests.

Octane de-mystified

"If some is good, more is better" thinking does not apply to octane. Here the rule is to supply whatever octane the engine is rated for and call it done. Higher-than-required octane does not yield more power or mileage, only oil company profits.

Some engines are rated for premium 91 octane fuel but can burn 87 octane regular, thanks to the magic of knock sensors. In that case, run regular gas if puttering around surface streets, and premium fuel if full-throttle driving is part of your daily repertoire.
