Honda-backed repairs
HondaCare coverage offers similar features and benefits to the Honda new vehicle warranty. Covered repairs are backed by American Honda and made by Honda technicians using only new Genuine Honda Parts. There are no out-of-pocket costs for repairs covered under HondaCare, because there is no deductible or co-pay.
Optional Roadside Assistance
You can add optional Roadside Assistance to your Rebel 500 HondaCare plan. The brochure describes it as worry-free, nationwide coverage and lists benefits such as emergency towing, fuel delivery service, locksmith assistance, extrication assistance, and a 24/7 toll-free assistance number.
