As indicated, the customer's job required extensive, major work to repair. The condition of the job that was initially returned to the customer was indeed substandard. The vehicle should not have been presented to the customer in that original condition. Although the customer chose to take the vehicle to multiple body shops for evaluation, J.L. Freed never denied that more work was needed nor was there any resistance to expeditiously addressing the problems. Our Body Shop Manager was personally involved in making sure the issues were addessed and the re-work was done properly. Regarding timing for the initial repair, as stated, among other parts, the vehicle needed a new roof panel to be shipped from Japan. From order date, July 11th, to arrival date, July 25, the roof panel took a 14 days to arrive. As for scheduling the rework, the customer had vacation planned thus leaving the car for a week. Finally, for clarification, the dash control panels that were replaced due to the overspray condition were ordered and received on an "overnight" basis and were not delayed by any insurance process. Our priority job was to return the vehicle in proper condition and that's where our focus was. The customer chose to make numerous contacts to various organizations requiring a significant effort even though there was no resistance on JLFreed's part to doing the right thing. I advised the customer that this was unnecessary as we were already addressing the job. These external organizations had no impact on expediting or re-working the job. It was alone our responsibility and we were already committed to the task. As General Manager and Owner, I rely on my management staff to use proper judgement and discretion to maintain a professional operation and to address customer concerns properly. Management trust and delegation are critical in our organization. Our Body Shop / Service Manager was already intimately involved in addressing the customer's concerns. My intervention in the work would have been redundant and possibly conflicting. I was updated appropriately and the job was being handled properly. If I didn't apologize to the customer, I certainly should have. The job was substandard and should not have been presented to the customer in that original condition. The customer was troubled and inconvenienced. For that, on behalf of myself and the organization, I apologize. As for our President's Award, we are indeed proud of this achievment and will continue to work to deserve this status.

Bought 3 new Hondas in the past. Went to buy our 4th. Sales person tried to rip us off on the trade in value on our Civic, like we were totally stupid or money grew on trees. Or they thought we were a c More

From the moment I walked in just before closing time, kids in tow, to the moment I drove away in my new Accord a week or so later, I had a great experience with J.L. Freed. Dave respected my time and wa More

I was relocated to PA by my job and was in need of a new Honda as my old trusty civic was getting long in the tooth. I went on the internet and sent emails to a number of different dealers in the area beca More

I think my email to JL Freed will clear up why I HATE THIS DEALER. To start off this review, let me clearly state that JL Freed's performance AT BEST is sub par. I should have known when on the day I More
