Poway Honda

Bad Service, Expensive Parts. Went to get the car serviced and and wanted to know the past history they said they wouldn't allow me to see my service history as it's against HONDA policy. I called up serviced and and wanted to know the past history they said they wouldn't allow me to see my service history as it's against HONDA policy. I called up honda America and they said no such policy exists. I then go back and tell them, and then they tell me it's their own policy. It seems like in order for you to buy more services from them they won't tell you your last service history if you got the car preowned. Escondido honda treated me much better. More

Whenever one is shopping for a car, ALL salespeople become your "newest and bestest" friends. The people at Poway Honda, especially Gary Lobel and Robert Guitron, not only treated me with cl become your "newest and bestest" friends. The people at Poway Honda, especially Gary Lobel and Robert Guitron, not only treated me with class, but I received great help and no pressure, even when I took a weekend to look further and to "think about it." I WANTED to go back! They both worked hard to get me the VERY BEST price on my new Crosstour (and I really shopped around, before and after). They also went out of their way to locate the exact vehicle I wanted, while other dealers offered me only what was in their stock. No other dealer tried as hard. There are several Honda dealerships closer to my home, but after visiting Gary Lobel at Poway Honda, I happily went out of my way to return. I know now how Gary earned the honor of "Gold Master" in the Council of Sales Leadership. I will recommend him, and Poway Honda, to anyone I can. More

We requested a bid through the internet from Poway Honda and when we arrived at their dealership they honored their exact bid. The bid was not the absolute lowest received but was very close and Poway Hond and when we arrived at their dealership they honored their exact bid. The bid was not the absolute lowest received but was very close and Poway Honda was closer to us than some of the other dealers. Reann was especially friendly and very knowledgeable about the Honda products, especially for being such a new employee. Robert was very cooperative when we needed to purchase additional vehicle coverage and theft protection. Our purchasing experience with Poway Honda was a very good one, and based on that we would recommend them to other potential buyers. More

I went there for a Honda Accord. The staff were very rude. When i said the other dealers were offering less, the staff said very rudely to go there and buy the car. " are you seriously looking for a car rude. When i said the other dealers were offering less, the staff said very rudely to go there and buy the car. " are you seriously looking for a car" this was the question he asked me right after 10 mins we had a chat. We complained this to another staff and that guy replied saying " yeah, are you serously looking for a car?". "You are no where near to buy a car and you can leave the place". This is the way they reacted when i was talking very politely. They will be the ones for sure to give a worst price. Try other big dealers around you will 100% get a good price than these guys. More

Although they did try and add on a few extras (lojack,extended warranty, etc. which is typical of any dealership) I still got a really good deal. Quick and painless, I was out the door in under 2 hours. I would recommend these guys to anyone. More

2005 Accord with "shuddering" problem when braking - and a good battery. The front rotors and pads were replaced just prior to taking the car to Poway Honda, but this did not solve the problem. Poway Hond a good battery. The front rotors and pads were replaced just prior to taking the car to Poway Honda, but this did not solve the problem. Poway Honda then diagnosed the problem as being caused by the new "aftermarket rotors", and said the battery needed replacement. Told that the front rotors were brand new and not the problem, Poway Honda refused to inspect the car for any other cause. After leaving Poway Honda, the battery would no longer start the car. Another mechanic correctly diagnosed that the REAR rotors were warped causing the "shudder", and found that electrolyte was removed from the battery to make it appear bad. In short: Poway Honda misdiagnosed the problem, wanted to charge for unnecessary repairs, refused to consider the correct diagnosis, but were very friendly while trying to screw me. More

I did an online quote on Accord EX-L V6 and got an email back from an internet sales person asking me some info. According to my friend's recent buying experience for his Accord and the carsdirect.com offer back from an internet sales person asking me some info. According to my friend's recent buying experience for his Accord and the carsdirect.com offer, I told her my target price. She said "YES WE CAN DO IT" and asked me to come over to look at it. Then I said I need an exact price quote before I come. She gave me a price list about their internet "bottom-line price", then I found their price was pretty high, above $1000 higher than carsdirect.com. I told her about this and she became angry and sent a rude email to me. I simply don't want to do business with them. My impression is: Poway Honda tends to lure people and overcharge them to make large profit if the buyers don't know the real deal they should get. If they found you know the real internet price, they become rude and don't want to do business with you. In San Diego area, I found Ball Honda or Pacific Honda are far more honest than Poway Honda on the pricing. More

Well, I bought my new Civic there - the purchase was a good experience. Well, it had a rattle (pretty loud) near the left rear passenger area. The first time they go well we didn't hear it (turns out they good experience. Well, it had a rattle (pretty loud) near the left rear passenger area. The first time they go well we didn't hear it (turns out they didn't drive it and the guy thought it was an engine noise - that's how bad the service managers notes were). The second time, they replaced the seatbelt (decided this was the problem without an inspection). Well, it wasn't the problem! So I took it back again. Now I have been out of my car for 2 days. This time they replace one of the side curtain air bags - the problem goes away for a few days and then comes back louder than ever. A month or two later I had some tint installed from a highly recommended installer. He says they didn't install the rear deck right and it is jammed in the wrong slots. I go well, those morons must have done this to get rid of the rattle. He looks around and says well, it is probably this loose cable here. So he reinstalls the rear deck correctly, and wraps the cable in in some foam tape. Ta dah! Problem fixed, never came back. So Poway Honda wasted 3 of my days and charged Honda for a new air bag and seat belt for no reason at all, simply because they didn't bother to look for something obvious. Overall, very dissapointed! I will probably buy my next car from Hoehn since they are a little cheaper. More
