My experience with service at Lia is that it has been exceedingly efficient. Previous assistance was very helpful but since last year, Joe Calabucci has been managing my car's maintenance needs. I feel exceedingly efficient. Previous assistance was very helpful but since last year, Joe Calabucci has been managing my car's maintenance needs. I feel with Joe as if a member of my family is looking out for my safety. I find him to be knowledgeable, ethical, and frank in his concern and advice about my safety as primary concern, while keeping in mind my costs. I feel very fortunate to have located Joe Calabucci at Lia. More
I owned a successful auto repair shop for a decade and therefore know good service (and bad) when I see it. Joe Calabucci and the folks in the service department have consistently been top notch in my opi therefore know good service (and bad) when I see it. Joe Calabucci and the folks in the service department have consistently been top notch in my opinion. The few times that I've needed service or had an issue with my Accord, he's made sure that I'm taken care of, never misleads me and has never tried to sell me something that I didn't need for my vehicle. He's also been great about giving me a heads up on a couple of issues and future services to be aware of so I'm not caught off guard if/when an issue occurs (for example, he told me my tires are going to need replacement soon... They only had 33k miles on them, which isn't usual... So I went home and checked them myself with my gauge and sure enough, the tread depth barely passes NYS Inspection requirements..ie, he wasn't lying/bs'ing me... At 33k, I wasn't even thinking about tires... But thanks to him and the tech, I can plan for the replacement (my tires run about $800)). My most recent issue was that I got a rock stuck in my dust shield (brakes) and it was making an awful noise when driving. He could've tried to tell me it was a wheel bearing or stuck/bad caliper (I knew what it was from experience... Not the same noise of course, but not everyone knows that), and he didn't do that... He told me exactly what I knew it was, charged me a half hour labor (which was more than reasonable to remove the caliper), washed my car and had it ready for pickup in less than an hour on a busy Saturday morning. So as a car guy, I completely respect how he and the service department goes about their business. It's rare to find a service dept at a dealership that's honest and doesn't try to upsell you stuff you sincerely do not need. I'll keep going back. My hat's off to them. More

Joe Wiley met me at the door with a cheerful greeting and showed me where to wait. He came in to explain what additional work he would suggest for my car, beyond the recall, but didn't push when I said I wo showed me where to wait. He came in to explain what additional work he would suggest for my car, beyond the recall, but didn't push when I said I would take it to my usual repair shop. I was pleasantly surprised by the free car wash! As always happens, someone from sales offered to take my low mileage 2010 Fit in trade for a new car! Sorry, folks, this is my perfect little old lady car! More
