Hi Jack, thank you for the feedback. We appreciate you considering our dealership for your service work. At the time of check-in, we do a thorough walk around inspection of your vehicle and during that time, we also look over what vehicle maintenance you're due for. We put everything together and provide you with an estimate. During that time, you are required to sign off on that work agreeing to the cost of work to be performed. If the technician finds anything else that can create a dangerous driving situation, our service advisor will call you and inform you of the work that needs to be done and the costs and get your approval before proceeding. At that time, the technician did see that your brakes and filters were in need of being replaced and the service advisor called and you approved of the brakes but said no to the filters and the work was completed as approved. We would never do the work if the work and costs was not discussed and approved first. We also perform random price checks with our competitors and independent shops in the area to make sure our pricing is competitive and we can assure you that our rates are. I am also having our service manager reach out to you to see if you had any other concerns. Thank you.

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that you had an extended wait time in our service department. Unfortunately, it does happen from time to time as we accept walk ins, as well with the recent air bag recalls, we have been seeing more traffic than normal and are in the process of staffing up. However, that is no excuse for your wait. Please contact me directly at lsalinas@mshonda.com and I would like to provide you with a complimentary oil change upon your next visit so we can exemplify our award winning customer service and hopefully earn your business again for future services. Sincerely, Lauren Salinas

Hi Sonya, That is correct, you did bring the vehicle in for the timing belt package without a radiator issue showing at the time. No hoses from the radiator are removed during a timing belt package though. There was apparently an underlying issues with the top of radiator when the hose fits over top, not noticed during the timing belt package because the hose was not removed. Once a new water pump was installed and system resealed tighter is caused more pressure inside the system and the crack under the hose at the radiator then became pressurized and blew the hose off causing smoke and coolant lose. Jasper and our service manager, Jimmy, did feel this was unfortunate and decided together than we should give her employee cost because of the unexpected repair that no one could have or would have seen coming. However, a cracked radiator connection isn't something they could have happened during a timing belt package replacement. Again, we are sorry for this unfortunate event.

Mr. Ergle, First off, please let us apologize for the experience you had here at McKenney Salinas Honda. It was in no way, shape or form in our interest to sell you any item that we truly believe you did not need. We also want to thank you for making us aware of your unsatisfactory service because it is with your feedback, the only way we can improve on providing and excellent product with excellent customer service. Before the recall was done to your wife’s vehicle, our Honda certified technician performed a multi-point inspection on the vehicle, that includes a battery test to check the level of power left in it. Upon testing, the battery indicated a low level of power left but our certified technician went ahead to proceed with the recall, connecting your Accord up to the computer and began the process of updating the vehicles computer board to complete the recall. The update from the computer to the vehicle could not be completed because the battery could not sustain enough power to keep the vehicle on during the update. The vehicle kept shutting off and the recall could not be completed. At this time, the certified technician offered to charge the battery enough to sustain power through the update or replace the battery in order to complete the recall to the vehicle’s computer board. Your service advisor, Bobby Dills, relayed this information to your wife, Sandra, offering to charge up the battery or replace the battery to complete the recall. At that time, your wife opted to replace the battery so we preceded to replace the battery and then complete the recall. After reading your review, our service manager, Gary Holder, was able to reach you by phone to discuss the situation and hopefully provide a resolution. He offered to refund your money for the battery and replace it with your old battery that we still had in our possession, but you declined the offer. Again, we are truly sorry if you feel the battery did not need to be replaced and our offer still stands to refund your money and replace it with your old battery. I do believe that this matter could have been prevented with better communication from our service advisor when relaying the information to your wife. Bobby is very aware of your concern and we have spoken with him on the matter and have provided him with training on how to better his communication skills with our customers. You are a valued customer here at McKenney Salinas Honda, and again we thank you for making us aware of your concerns. Please feel free to reach out to myself, Sal Salinas or Gary Holder at anytime to discuss the matter or any other concerns that you may have. We hope that you will give an opportunity in the future to make this matter up to you by providing excellent service and customer service from our sales and service departments. Sincerely, Lauren Salinas
