Bad experience #1: After purchasing a “certified pre-owned” Honda, I had taken the vehicle for a scheduled oil change 6 days ( 2 Aug) after I picked up the vehicle. I’m not sure why a dealer would s pre-owned” Honda, I had taken the vehicle for a scheduled oil change 6 days ( 2 Aug) after I picked up the vehicle. I’m not sure why a dealer would sell a certified car without a fresh oil change but the nonetheless I went. After a month and a half 22 Sep), a warning light came on to tell me that the oil was low. Little did I know that when I brought the vehicle for the oil change on 2 Aug, they “forgot” to do the oil change even though they had the car for several hours. I went in for an express oil change that day. Bad experience #2: it’s been less than four months since I bought the 2020 Pilot. This week the car would not start twice. I called for an appointment and brought it in to servicing on 24 Nov. Denise was my advisor. When she asked me why I came in, I told her that I had an appointment to check what was going on with the car. I said maybe a bad alternator. She immediately made me feel stupid by saying that I wouldn’t have been able to drive there if it was the alternator. Then told me that batteries usually go in three years and that I’d have to pay to replace it. I told her that I just bought the car. She said she’d look into seeing if the warranty would cover it. I got a call from her about 30 minutes later and she said I’d have to pay $270 to replace it. In her words, “I always tell my customers that batteries are like light bulbs they go out at any time.” I stopped into Advanced Auto Parts who offered me their top of the line battery with a great warranty for much less than the dealership. They said they would replace the battery for me too. My issue with this visit is that servicing knows the life expectancy of a battery. If you are going to promote a vehicle as “certified” and know that the oil is low or the battery is going to die soon, is it not important to ensure that the vehicle is maintenance free at least for the first 6 months? Have you just thrown the idea of good customer service and retaining customer loyalty out door? I haven’t ever felt such lack of care from a servicing department. I’m so disappointed in this dealership. More
