Honda workshops measures to #BreaktheChain of COVID-19
As a socially responsible corporate, all Honda workshops are adhering to strict safety & health protocols and preventive measures for the safety of its customers and workshop staff as well, while ensuring social distancing between staff and customers to effectively ‘Break the Chain.’
All Honda’s workshops with complete sanitization facilities are taking strict measures to ensure safety at all customer interaction touchpoints like vehicle receiving, repair bay, vehicle delivery area and common areas etc.
All staff including service advisors, technicians, cashier, security staff etc. wear masks and maintain minimum 1-meter distance at all times even while having meals and rest area. Putting safety first, all customers are requested to sanitize hands and wear face masks from main workshop entry point itself and also maintain distancing while waiting in the customer lounge.
In vehicle repair area, to maintain safe distance between technicians on job, only alternate service bays are open. All vehicles of washed before repair and there is zero sharing of common tools as well. Similarly, in vehicle delivery area too, all vehicles are being sanitized at key areas that are likely to be touched (like vehicle key, handle grip, seat, brake lever etc) before final delivery to customer. Furthermore, to minimize risk through contact, workshops are requesting customers to give preference to the zero-touch digital mode of payments.
Honda remains committed to its customer centric approach during the COVID-19 ongoing nationwide lockdown.
To support customers whose free service / warranty / extended warranty was scheduled between 15 March till the end of lockdown, Honda has already extended the same till 30th June, 2020.
* As per Kerala Government guidelines, no pick and drop facility can be provided to customers & non-immediate work such as painting, upholstery, detailing, washing etc. cannot be executed during the lockdown.
