Default Some F**ked Up Riverside Acura Dealer f**ks up ITR!!!

So my older brother took in his 1998 ITR to a Acura bodyshop dealer to have exterior damges repaired and his steering column fixed. So when he picked it up yesterday and the interior back seats were ripped and some of the panel covers for the screws and the inside back panels near the taillights were missing. There was dried super-glue residue around the torn holes like someone tried to cover it up. The back seat weather mats were missing but we got them back. We told the supervisor and found out they were put into another car. One of the workers got them without saying a word that he knew where it was. Why was it in another car anyways??? We told the supervisor about the problem and said he'll take care of it. He asked if we wanted to leave the car there so he can order the seats an panels, but my bro just took it home just so they dont f**k it up more.

My mom called the manger today and he said his bodyshop didn't do it and he makes this lame *** excuse that maybe someone in my family smokes. Right there we knew something was up because hes making up excuses and plus no one in my family smokes. Very suspicious. They tried to call our insurance to have them pay for it ,so we would have to pay our deductable for it when it was their fault.

Me, my brother and mom inspected the car before it was brought there and the interior was intact and good condition. When we got the car back they did a **** poor job at it. The back seats torn, missing panel covers, right turn signel not connected, the whole back cargo side interior panel in the back were not aligned right, and god knows what else.

So if they don't replace what they damaged and missed we will take them court. Their trying to give us the run-a-round. So don't ever go here if your in this area.

ACURA of Riverside

Please help spread the word. These people are shady!

SORRY SO LONG

rufridn: That's what we're gonna do tomorrow. My mom is gonna call the owner of the dealer since the dealer manger is on maternity leave.

808dc2: Oh I know. Were gonna keep at it. We might have to take it up at court.

You should have called the cops and then called the regional manager, right on the spot without moving.

That would have taken care of everything.

I love my dealer, they're great when I can't fix something. COntinental Acura in Lisle, I'm sure lots of people could vouch for them.

Yup Riverside Acura's service dept. is ****!

When I first bought my car I had them do the timing belt and when they had the valve cover off they didn't put the spark plug grommets on right, so i had a cylinder full of oil. AND they didn't re-attach the AC pulley correctly so the bolt snapped of in the bracket and the pulley fell onto the belts when i started my car. The service guy tried to tell me that it was normal wear and tear and that it's common on Integras. So I even had to pay for the new parts and had it done by someone i trusted.

In the end after about a month of trying to contact either the service manager or general manager i finally got a hold of the service manager. He apologized, reimbursed me and detailed my car (since some ******* juniors from back when i was in HS wrote "03 rules" on my windows )

I still told him that I'd never return.

Damn, sorry to hear this. I would definitely contact the customer service number and upper management.
How does a place like this stay in business?

Still not as bad as Pauly Acura in Highland Park, IL. Bastards put a dent in the front of my car. Refused to pay for it.

Bad Dealers,

Somebody should send this link to acura/Honda it seems like all of their dealers are pretty fucked up in the service department.

I for one will never ever go to a Honda/Acura dealer again for any service on my car. Too much of a headache dealing with any of these ********. And i have been to almost every Honda Dealer in the British Columbia region, it seems like Honda's moto is

"sell them the car and treat em like **** when they come back for service"

Now i try to do as much work as I can myself on my car.

******* dealers, brings back too many bad memories.........

There should be a sticky or another forum for honda/acura dealerships. So we can rate them and people can know either not to go there or not.

mods?
