AutoNation Honda Lewisville - Service Center

The service and repair department at AutoNation in Lewisville cost me money that was unnecessary and at the same time put my wife and daughter's life in danger. . Here is our scenario: Back in Jul Lewisville cost me money that was unnecessary and at the same time put my wife and daughter's life in danger. . Here is our scenario: Back in July, my wife took our Honda Civic to AutoNation Honda in Lewisville, TX. She had heard some loud noise coming from under the hood. They looked at it and stated the tires were wearing unevenly and that we needed new tires. We proceeded to go get tires for the car which cost over $300 but the noise could still be heard. We took it back to the dealer a couple of days later for a second time and miraculously, they found a problem with the CV joints. They supposedly fixed the issue at that time but did not offer any condolences or credit for the tire cost. At this point, we were disappointed that we spent money that was not necessary but at least we thought the car was fixed because the noise had stopped. Well, we were wrong.... This past weekend, my wife was driving the car with our 4 year old daughter and my wife said it felt like the front right tire was about to fall off. She stopped at the first place she could find which was a Valvoline shop and they were nice enough to take a look at it for her. They put it up on a jack and said the tire was fine but the mechanic that did the CV joint was an idiot and had no business working on cars. He used a regular nut instead of a castle nut and he failed to put a pin in it as well. He stated that the nut that was on there had come loose and was a half of turn from coming off all together. in his words, if that would have happened, my wife would have lost complete control of the car and no telling what would have happened to her and my daughter. He tightened it for us and wrote us a letter to provide to the dealer that explained what was wrong in his opinion. I took it back to the dealer for the 3rd time. I spoke with Chuck, the service manager, and after another inspection, he agreed the mechanic did indeed use the wrong nut and did not put a pin in it. Chuck admitted it was their mistake. My wife and I have lost complete trust in the Honda dealership and the vehicle. How can we trust that it is fixed this correctly this time? How do I know my wife will not lose control of the vehicle at any time??? We asked the service manager for an extended warranty or something for our trouble and for the money we had to spend for their mistake and he offered us $100 credit at their store! What a joke! I have spent 15 to 20 hours away from work trying to get this fixed, spent over $300 on tires that were not needed and now have a wife that is afraid to drive her car. I am very thankful that my wife stopped by the Valvoline shop that morning! I am also thankful and I am sure you are as well that I am not contacting you to inform you that my wife was in an accident due to your mechanic’s mistake. More

I own 2 Hondas and I take them both to this dealership for service. Every time I go I always receive excellent customer service. I'm always updated on the status of my car. If same-day service isn't po for service. Every time I go I always receive excellent customer service. I'm always updated on the status of my car. If same-day service isn't possible they provide a free rental car. More

The first time I got bad service (tire rotation, w/o tire balancing) I thought it was just an oversight; but having a second bad experience means they just do not care to do a good job. I had a warranty repa balancing) I thought it was just an oversight; but having a second bad experience means they just do not care to do a good job. I had a warranty repair on the brake system completed, got in the car, and it did not feel right. Took it right back and they discovered air in the braking system. Then the following day the !VSA warning light started to come on intermittantly, as well as an occasional flash of the BRAKE light. Took it to another dealership (because frankly my trust had already gone to non-existent) and they discovered the brake fluid was low. You would think both of these details would be automatically checked after taking the brake system apart.....Never going there again. Jim McNatt Honda service up the road 15 min is now my choice!

I love Bankston Honda. They are all wonderful, always spending the appropriate amount of time with me, patiently explaining repairs and charges until I fully understand them, and if the wait is going to spending the appropriate amount of time with me, patiently explaining repairs and charges until I fully understand them, and if the wait is going to be longer than expected they always let me know and explain why. They mail discount coupons if you keep your address up to date and always honor their online coupons (if one I've printed has expired, I just check online again and there is another one!). I've bought two Hondas from them in the last few years. The salesman, managers, and finance gentleman were friendly, honest, and genuinely excited for me about my new purchases. A great environment. There has been some shift in management over the last few years but it hasn't changed the overall quality of service and attitude. Definitely recommend Bankston Honda's service and sales to everyone I know. **Not sure what dbronson thinks is a joke about the state inspection price, but by law that can't be discounted. The state sets the price, and no coupon or discount will apply. She should contact the state to complain about it; that's not Bankston's fault! More

My 2002 Honda Accord SE just hit 105K miles. I was looking for a good price on the timing belt service. I called most of the dealers in North Texas and found Bankston to be cheapest among all. Honda looking for a good price on the timing belt service. I called most of the dealers in North Texas and found Bankston to be cheapest among all. Honda Cars of McKinney quoted me about $1200 for this service. I also wanted to get my transmission serviced which was an additional $99. I had a 20% off coupon from them so it would bring the price down to $1040 plus tax and shop supplies. I called them again the next day and they quoted me $1100 for exact same service. Called the third time and they quoted me $1400. At this time, I was frustrated and decided not to take my car to them because they were unreliable. I called Ruth Riley, David McDavid and Bankston. All of them quoted somewhere between $1000 and $1200 for this service. Please note that I am not only getting the timing belt changed but also changing all belts, balancer belts, seals, water pump etc. etc plus transmission flush. All said they will accept other Honda dealers coupon but when they heard 20% off, they backed out. They were only willing to honor up to 10%. Anyway, Bankston was cheapest of them all so I called them again to confirm that the price they quoted me is correct and they were. The only difference this time is that they said they will accept 20% off coupon from Honda Cars of McKinney. I went down there and asked the service rep to give me a final quote in writing. He made an invoice for $846 after 20% off and taxes etc. I left my car there. I did get a call from him saying that I need brake oil and power steering oil flushed which was an additional $200 which I declined. He also told me that I need a new air and cabin filter..additional $100 which I declined. I also needed alignment but my tires hardly have $5000 miles on them so I’ll pass on that too. Anyway, he said that in that case, my car is ready and I should come pick it up. When I got there, my TOTAL invoice was for $799. I saw a charge for $10 misc. fees but I did not question it as I was saving $47 by not showing the invoice he printed before I dropped my car off. Anyway, I am very happy with the overall quality of work so far. The car feels like it did when I bought it new. I would recommend this dealership to anybody who lives in North Texas area. The only bad thing is, they don’t have loaner cars but they do have rental facility on premises and will probably share the rental cost with you. I didn’t ask for it so I can’t tell. More

I do not recommend this dealership for service and hence Sales. They picked me up from my home which is 15 miles from the dealership during the initial sales. Later during a recall inspection, they refused Sales. They picked me up from my home which is 15 miles from the dealership during the initial sales. Later during a recall inspection, they refused to provide me a transporation (Shuttle service) and said it is available only in 10 miles radius. It is so riduculous. More

Went in for a noise problem but also for a transmission replacement. Tranny was making a whining noise. Waited a week and picked it up. Noticed new rattling noise from the car while driving home and took i replacement. Tranny was making a whining noise. Waited a week and picked it up. Noticed new rattling noise from the car while driving home and took it back. Waited for an hour or more and then was told that the transmission they JUST put in was defective and that they need to put in a new one!! Also they rotated my tires but i I had just put on new tires on the front but they moved them to back so I told them to re-rotate them to have my new tires on the front. Left and waited another week and came back to pick the car up. Transmission seemed fine but noticed they failed to re-rotate tires even though I asked the service advisor if they had done it minutes before walking to my car, but I guess he misunderstood what I meant. So I waited again for about 15min. Finally took it home and checked the car and found that the transmission oil level was very low so took it back. Noticed transmission jerks slightly from full stop to moving but for now, we will live with it and hopefully its just a minor prob/characteristic. Honda extended the warranty for automatic transmissions for 6yrs/100k according to our service advisor.<br><br>Bankston did cover cost for rental while my car was in. Service Advisors are very friendly but the actual tech/mechanics can't be counted upon at ALL. Would not go back to dealership for service.This is my 4th tranny in 3 years. All 3 transmission replacements were done at bankston honda. Getting 2 new trannys within 2 weeks is rather disturbing for Honda reliability. More
