At present, 50 Honda service centres have resumed operations for two days in a week - Thursday and Sunday - between 10 am and 5 pm.

Honda is also sanitising the key areas on vehicles before handing them over to the customers. This includes the vehicle key, handle grip, seat, brake lever among other parts. The company is also insisting on cashless transactions to minimise the risk of spreading the virus.
Kerala has been the only state so far to successfully flatten the curve with the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic. The reopening of workshops does emerge as a successful step in bringing normalcy back. Honda has already announced that it has extended the warranties and free services for customers till June 30, 2020.
