Default out of date post

oh man..what a f*ckin long day. I went to honda this morning at like 7:40am to get my a/c **** checked out, cuz there was a leak. Mother ******* took it around to the back and crashed the front bumper into a ****** lift. they told me this 2 hours later...saying everythings okay cept the guy who pulled it back knicked* the bumper. He even took some photos of it for me, but were **** pics, the dumb **** took a picture of my C2's in one of them. DID not show the damn bumper at all...so kinda scared I went to the back to check it out, and the whole bottom right side of the sinsei II body kit was ripped and torn like a mug. I got out of there at 2pm. I am told now to get a quote for new bumper/paint/molding, and will be replaced all for free, but all the shops wont be open until monday, and so happens to be monday is like my only day off, so i will be driving around a fucked up ccord. and its sad, cuz its never been in a crash, cept now cuz these slap dicks at honda. when leaving a sales manager came up to me bugging me to get a 00 prelude sh that i was looking at earlier...and said he would sell it dirt cheap cuz of this incident, but.. i got too much things goin for my car, and cant part w/it for the time being...but still they got a lot of ****** ***** if thats how they're trying to get people to purchase cars off them. Turns out i need to replace the evaporater/exp valve, which costs a damn $356.53 uninstalled...=X all i know ima get a PHAT check and cover it all hopefully =X 6.5 hours of my day purely wasted, and now missed a day of work =X will post pics as soon as i can l8

give them the highest estimate that you can find, go to a cheaper place and pocket the rest. I hate honda guys, they know nothing and only know how to use a computer to find the parts and have no brain of their own. Same goes for napa people, they are all stupid. I had this one RTD truck driver back into my left headlight. It looked like nothing, only a broken headlight, broken grille, and paint on my bumper and hood. Totalled to $1365. I got the JDM style headlights for $275 and a grille, and pocketed over $1000. However, it was one big *** hassle to get my money. Good luck with this. I try not to EVER take in my car to anyone.

Obviously i didnt mean all honda guys, but the ones here in colorado arent that bright. The service sucks, techs didnt even know what I was talking about, and the parts guy knew nothing more than what was in his computer. Sorry, I didnt mean anything against you.

You might want to narrow that down to the dealer you had the bad experience with, or even the single tech or parts person. I was getting ready to bust your ***** over your first post until I read this one. Watch out for those Colorado guys, they might still let you have it. Think before you post. What forum is this. Honda-tech, and there are quite a few of us here trying to help and not asking for anything in return.

alright, let me narrow it down. John elway honda on 104th and federal, Planet Honda, Mile high, and one other one in boulder that i forgot the name to (empire maybe?). There arent that many, and they havent helped me either. Also, NAPA auto parts on 104th and federal, guy has never been able to help me for the part 5 times. Doesnt even put in the effort. People dont even bother to help out those that are modding their cars, bunch of *******. They quote you a bunch of **** prices and talk to u like your stupid to mod a honda.

Why dont you "bust my *****?"

Oh, and check auto parts on 72 and federal, the main NAPA store. Dont even put an effort into helping you find a store that has metric fittings. The only helpful place were these 2 domestic performance stores. I value customer service very highly and will pay more to have it.

Ummm this is too much to read I didn't read a single sentence in this thread but it sounds like you're talking about a dealer.
Never go to a dealer except if maybe you've got a friend at the dealer that can hook you up.

That is retarded. We are not trying to rip people off, Taking your car to the Honda dealership for service offers significant advantages, including:

The Best-Trained Technicians

Honda has one of the nation's foremost technician training programs. And most dealerships offer top pay and benefits, attracting the cream of the crop. Would you rather have a 16 year old after school oil change blazer beating the **** outta your car or a tech that has seen nothing but hondas for the last 10 or so years?

The Latest Technical Information

When new models arrive, Honda dealership technicians have already been thoroughly trained to repair them. Honda dealer service departments learn about updated repair techniques and issues immediately, offering the most current technical expertise you can find.

The Latest Genuine Honda Parts

Made exclusively for Honda from high-quality materials, Genuine Honda Parts provide the best fit and performance. When a new part is available to correct a specific problem, your Honda dealer will have it first. Honda dealers keep frequently needed parts in stock and can also obtain them quickly from neighboring dealers. YOU PAY MORE FOR PARTS BECAUSE THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!!!

A Name You Can Trust

Honda dealers have the training, parts and tools to fix your car properly. Not only will you have your dealer's warranty on the service provided, you'll also have Honda's warranty on Genuine Honda Parts.

Holy **** Brian you have got to be kidding.
I get all my parts from Majestic (hondaautomotiveparts.com) for half the price of a local dealer. And any work I can't do myself goes to a reputable mom and pop garage that has mechanics ten times more competent and careful than dealer mechanics. I've worked at a dealer I know what goes on in the service department.

I agree with you 100% I buy honda parts and if I cannot do it, I will send it to a dealer.....I do not want any F'd up parts on my car that are not the real thing....


Brookdale and Burkle honda here are very good

When I had my 89 and 92 sables, then always went to Quality Lincon Mercury and the service there was excellent and they were cheaper than everyone else including all of the IG's in the area

Dave buddy, you gotta understand where im coming from maing. Some of the guys on here may not be as technically inclined as the rest of us of may choose just not to do the work themselves. Regardless, your post sounded like all honda dealers are notorious for ripping people off. Meh. Either way, I think dealers have a really bad reputation on H-T and it kinda pisses me off. People call all the time to my work and ask technical questions which I am not supposed to field as it can be seen as a form of turning away business, but rather than be a dick I help out these DIYers as best I can. Our company can afford to trade a few dollars in profit for a better reputation when Joe Smith says to his buddies, "Hey, so and so from Hopkins Honda helped me over the phone and he was nice and yadda yadda..."

my 3 cents.

Did you see I wrote "Ummm this is too much to read I didn't read a single sentence in this thread but it sounds like you're talking about a dealer."
No, I wouldn't crash John's car into a forlift, but he's the only exception.

Well this is very retarded, all Im saying, no offense to anyone, is that the honda dealerships around me dont know very much. I have done my own h22a swap, installed my own nitrous, blah blah blah, ive done a lot. The reason is that the customer service here sucks. If you do not know the answer, all you have to do to satisfy me is put in about 2 minutes of effort. Maybe you can point me in the right direction or whatever, but all it takes to make me happy is EFFORT. Thats all. Im sure your dealership is a good one, but whenever i pull up to the service station in my h22a accord, i get a mouthful. Luckily im a very patient person. The thing i hate about modding cars is that people just pick prices outta their asses. Todays price is not the same as tomorrows. You either get dicked at the dealership paying for 5 hours of labor when it takes 2, or you get dicked on shipping from internet companies. I have nothing against you or anything you do, but i just dont like the customer service at the 4 or 5 hondas near me.
