Fabulous service...... as usual! I recently had a problem with my back up camera in my Honda Crosstour. Steve Smith of Lia Honda on Central Avenue in Albany quickly and efficiently go I recently had a problem with my back up camera in my Honda Crosstour. Steve Smith of Lia Honda on Central Avenue in Albany quickly and efficiently got me in, the technician identified the problem and Steve let me know the situation. The part needed wouldn't be available until the next day so Steve set me up with an appointment. John Kelty, the Service Manager, stopped by as I was leaving to be sure I was happy with my service - which I was. When I arrived the next day, Steve took my car right in and it was repaired in under an hour! I was thrilled with the fast service. This is not unusual quality of service, this is typical. Thanks Lia staff for making my life easier!! More

Terrible customer service I bought a 2019 Honda CR-V about 1.5 months ago, I’ve been back to the dealership twice after needing the vehicle to be jumped both times almost missi I bought a 2019 Honda CR-V about 1.5 months ago, I’ve been back to the dealership twice after needing the vehicle to be jumped both times almost missing out on an important job interview today. The first time I was told I don’t drive my car enough (my mom drives her car once every 2 weeks and hers still works) that can’t be true, and today I was treated like a five year old. I was talked to like I shouldn’t be upset. John Kelty who had a whole 5 seconds for me also showed no compassion for this ongoing problem. You buy a new vehicle to bypass issues like this not to wonder every time you walk out to your vehicle if it’s going to work or not. More

Horrible service and communication I have used this dealership for about 2 years to get my Honda serviced. Up until this visit things had been great. My car would not run right last wee I have used this dealership for about 2 years to get my Honda serviced. Up until this visit things had been great. My car would not run right last week so I had it towed in for service under my warranty. First day I dropped the car I received 3 phone calls about it. Next day I had to call the end of the day. Third day, Friday, I called at 4:30 as I had heard nothing (going on day 3). I was put to the service reps VM. At 5pm with no call I called back only to be told that rep was not in today. Well then why the xxxx was I just dumped to his VM?? I called back and spoke to John Kelty, the Service Manager, whom was up to speed on the car and gave me an update. They had now had it 3 days and were no closer to finding the issue so he was putting his foreman on it on Monday. Monday I got a phone call or two that they were working on it. Tuesday nothing again. I call and the service advisor is off so I asked for John again. He called me back and said someone was supposed to call me..... He told me what they found just that afternoon and what they were going to do to get the part and fix it. Yesterday the Service rep called me twice to tell me they had approval and part was local and later called to say its back together and running good. They were going to test it. I told him I couldn't get in until tomorrow (today) to pick it up. He said he would let me know. Crickets..... I guess in the end, all dealerships just suck and it takes time for the underbelly to actually come out. This will be the first and last Honda I ever own and I may have to find somewhere else to service it in the mean time. More
