Germain Honda of Ann Arbor

The service manager, Doug, at this dealership is an embarrassment to the Honda brand and a direct risk to consumers. Doug falsely advised me that warranty work must be performed at the selling deale embarrassment to the Honda brand and a direct risk to consumers. Doug falsely advised me that warranty work must be performed at the selling dealer. This is a violation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which explicitly prohibits conditioning warranty coverage on the use of a specific dealership. When I cited the law by name, he became combative, accused his own service advisor of lying, dismissed her account as "confusion," and when I requested the name of the owner, responded "you're smart, figure it out yourself" before hanging up on me. He then called me back unprompted. I attempted to de-escalate, stating that we were adults and that he should not be speaking to me the way he was. His response was, "you should look in the mirror." He then continued with name-calling, mockery, and laughter before hanging up on me a second time. My husband was present and witnessed this call. This was not a business dispute — this was targeted verbal abuse directed at a customer who cited her legal rights. It is fully recorded. The vehicle was purchased new at Suburban Honda. The shock issue has been documented across multiple prior service visits at Tamaroff Honda without resolution, and has been logged with Honda corporate on three separate occasions. This dealership had the ability to verify that service history by contacting Tamaroff Honda directly or by contacting Honda corporate, where the complaint history is on record. They elected to do neither. I was left stranded off-site at the mall from approximately 9:00 a.m. until around 3:30 p.m. with no transportation, no status updates, and no proactive communication from the service department. When I asked Doug for a status on my vehicle during his second call, he told me my car was "sitting out front" and to "come get it," and directed me to ask my service advisor if I wanted to know what had been done. No explanation. No summary of work completed or outstanding. By midday I still had no meaningful information, and I located the General Manager's contact information independently and initiated contact myself. It was the General Manager, Corey, who provided the status update the service department had failed to communicate — and it was Corey who ultimately ensured the ADAS repair was completed. Doug had only authorized an oil change. The documented ADAS and suspension defects were not addressed until I escalated over his head. Neither Doug nor Corey offered a loaner vehicle at any point. The only mention of a loaner came from the service advisor, and it was explicitly conditioned on me agreeing to pay out-of-pocket for the shock replacement — despite this being a documented warranty issue. The part also required ordering, meaning the loaner arrangement would have extended into the following day. Conditioning warranty-adjacent assistance on out-of-pocket payment for a covered defect is improper. I purchased this vehicle brand new with 8 miles on it and paid in full. The shock defect has existed since the date of purchase and remains unresolved to this day. It has been documented across multiple service visits at two dealerships and logged with Honda corporate three times. I left this dealership with the ADAS issue addressed only because I escalated to the General Manager myself — and I left with the shock still broken. A safety-related suspension defect, documented repeatedly and acknowledged by Honda, remains unrepaired. Complaints have been filed with Honda corporate, NHTSA, the FTC, and the Attorney General. All interactions are fully documented, including recorded conversations. I am prepared to produce that documentation publicly if this review is disputed or removed. The facts stated are accurate and documented. I stand by this review in its entirety. This review will be available on other platforms as well. More

I am writing to comment on a client advisor, Wyatt Harrington, who worked with me in making a well-reasoned purchase at Germain Honda. I don't know cars that well and had been advised to consider a H Harrington, who worked with me in making a well-reasoned purchase at Germain Honda.

We brought my wife's 2020 Honda Fit in for service today because the car required a jump start earlier in the day. Chris O'Lear on the service team brought the car in for service earlier than the scheduled because the car required a jump start earlier in the day. Chris O'Lear on the service team brought the car in for service earlier than the scheduled appointment so my wife would not have to wait. They did a thorough evaluation of the battery and determined that it needed replacement (fortunately it was under warranty). After my wife checked out, he texted me to let me know the rest of the electrical system was fine and that the battery replacement resolved the issue. Chris' professionalism and excellent customer service was most appreciated. More

Tried reserving and inquiring about accessories added to New Civic Sport; summer 2021. I had initially spoken to Shak in person, with promise. A short while later I had emailed him (as I lived in anothe New Civic Sport; summer 2021. I had initially spoken to Shak in person, with promise. A short while later I had emailed him (as I lived in another city) about reserving a new car and having some things added. He responded incomprehensibly and when I replied to get clarification, I never heard back. There were also failed attempts at calls, and in all I never heard back from anyone. Ended up buying from another dealership. More
