I want to clarify that the information being said about our interactions is not accurate. Below, I have included the same details from the original email I sent in response to the customer’s complaint regarding the transmission fluid condition. Along with this, I have provided documentation from ProDemand outlining the proper procedures and manufacturer-published maintenance intervals. Since I am unable to upload documents directly here, I copied and pasted all relevant information from my original email. If another associate may have provided inaccurate information regarding the services or inspections performed prior to the customer’s purchase, I sincerely apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Please know that we are always willing to provide full documentation supporting any inspections or services performed. At no point did I withhold information or act dishonestly in my communication. My intent has always been to ensure transparency and accuracy in representing the work completed. Sincere regards, Michael  J. Sapanaro Parts and Service Director Rocky Mountain Auto Brokers W: (719)-477-9009 ext. 2001 E: mike@rmabinc.com 4912 Carrera Pt Colorado Springs CO 80923 United States SEE COPY OF EMAIL SENT TO THE CUSTOMER 11/07/25 Mike Sapanaro Kallie R I have looked through your request and concern. After looking into manufacturers’ recommendations and mileage you are currently at, it was not time for a service when we had in our possession. Also, we would not check the fluid condition for it is a closed transmission unit, we would only move forward with a thorough check if we had symptoms such as drivability, leaks or indicator lights. None of these was present for we would follow the manufactures guidelines and not open or service the system unless it was required based on mileage or mechanical failure. We do take care of all major repairs and or safety items before we sell a car. Maintenance like this is left to the owner's expense. I hope that all makes sense. Please see attached documents showing proper procedure to check your transmission fluid and manufactures maintenance intervals from Honda. I hope you have a great weekend! Sincere regards, Michael J.

With the engine running, remove the level check plug (A), and make sure the ATF level is at the conditions described below.
