Default Recommendation for auto mechanic
The passenger door latch on my 2013 Honda Pilot is stuck. Any recommendations on auto mechanics?

Sumter Tire, 2 locations in Wildwood, on Rt 301
Wildwood Tire on Rt 44
Firestone on Rt 466 in Oxford
Goodyear near Home Depot

I do not recommend Tire Choice

Note that there is a recent thread on this topic, just do a search.

Is the latch stuck or will the door not unlock? Have you sprayed the latch with WD40?

I would use a silicone spray over WD40, much longer lasting.

WD-40 is primarily a solvent and a degreaser, not a true lubricant. It can free up rusted or dirty parts, but it is not intended to provide any long term lubrication. Silicone is a lubricant.

I would try the WD-40 first. If that works, then use silicone or lithium spray-on grease to lubricate the parts.
