I walked in and waited awkwardly for several moments for someone to acknowledge me. (I was there in the 6 o' clock hour and they close at 7.) I was the only customer there! They were busy with end-of-day paperwork and didn't bother to look up or greet me. Then the lady on the left looked to the lady on my right and said something to the effect of "I'll finish the paperwork if you help her." Then, and only then did she say she was going to help me...all I felt was like I was interrupting them! I email the manager because I believe in solutions and not going directly to yelp with a negative review... But it's been months now, with no response. I was in the midst of making my service appointment when I remembered my last experience and feeling like a 3rd wheel! Then when she presented the bill to me, I didn't see the itemized list of work completed, so I asked where the list was... (as I was actively looking. ) She was pretty short with me and said something like "if you look on the first page, it's there." I don't look at service notes everyday so I'm not familiar with where things are located! It's bad enough that women do not get respect in the car industry... These woman do not help the reputation. I've never had an positive interaction with a female at Goudy. Everytime I ask a female a question, she can never give me a direct answer. She always has to ask someone else. Sadly, these guys are within walking distance, but I don't think I want to give them my business anymore. More

passenger side door actuator fails 1 wk after drvr sd After dissatisfying ordeals at the Keyes In Van Nuys Service center. On Saturday at about 08:00 AM on July 28, 2018 I took my 2015 Honda CR-Z to After dissatisfying ordeals at the Keyes In Van Nuys Service center. On Saturday at about 08:00 AM on July 28, 2018 I took my 2015 Honda CR-Z to the Gouda in Goudy Alhambra Service Center. I was hoping for a more efficient experience. I was having door actuator problems, again; this time, with the passenger door. (One two weeks ago, my driver side door actuator had failed, and was replaced. Reviewed on Dealer Rater. Com 7/23/18) My information was taken, and my car was taken in to be inspected. I asked whether or not a “loaner” car was available- but there were none. I asked whether or not there was a shuttle service, and I was sent into the cashier office, there, I was directed to sign up for a shuttle, and then, to wait for the shuttle, outside, in one of two waiting areas. I was “shuttled home,” and there I sat until about 12:30PM with the “official” diagnosis- my door actuator was defective, The dealership did not have the part, dejavú, it would have to be ordered, and the Service Advisor assured me he’d put in a “rush request,” and that the part would be in on Monday July 30, 2018. I told him that it sounded fine to me, but I’d need a car to get to work on Monday, and Tuesday. He told me that all the loaner cars were out. He had no car for me. I told him that it was ok, and that I’d be back at the Service Center to pick up my car. He told me that my door panel was disassembled. I mentioned to him that at the previous dealership- they had reassembled my door panel, and I just “rescheduled” for the following Saturday. The Service Advisor told me that he could not leave my “ticket” “open” that long. The Service Advisor told me that he could reassemble my car, and that it would take about an hour. (1:30PM) He also made understand that I would have to bring my car back in on Monday July 30, 2018, after work; and that he’d have a “loaner” car available. I asked him, if he could arrange for the shuttle to pick me up, and to drive me back to the dealership. He told me that the shuttles didn’t start “Pickups” until after 2:00PM. I told him that it was fine, and that if I could, I’d get a ride, and i’d call him to let him know. ( I got a ride. I left him a voicemail.) On Monday, July 30, 2018, after I left work, I drove back to the Service Center- I did not see the service Advisor with whom I dealt with Saturday. And, after waiting, unassisted, for about 25 minutes- another gentleman came to my driver side window. I explained to him that I was told, two days earlier, to return on Monday to have a “rush ordered” door actuator installed on Tuesday, and to pick up a “loaner.” I was told that “my” Service Advisor was gone, and there were no loaners left. I asked whether or not the part had come, since, if it wasn't in- there was no sense in leaving my car. He checked, it wasn’t in; and, it wouldn’t be in until Wednesday August 1, 2018. I asked this Service Advisor whether or not they were “pressured” by upper management about leaving “customer repair tickets” open? He just gave me a puzzled look, as he shook his head, no. I thanked him, and I asked him to leave a message advising my original Service Advisor that I had stopped by, per our earlier agreement, and I left. No call on Wednesday August 1, 2018. On Thursday, August 2, 2018, I called the original Service Advisor, and I got his voicemail- I left a message. Later. that day, the Service Advisor called me back to advise me that they had received the door actuator. I offered to take my car back in, after work, on Thursday, and I advised him that I’d need a “loaner,” in order to get to work on Friday. He didn’t believe that any “loaners” were available. I offered to bring the car back. First thing, on Saturday August 4, 2018 He gave his ok. On Saturday, August 4, 2018, at 7:00AM- I took my car back in to the Service Center. I was “processed in,” again, the original Service Advisor wasn’t in yet, so I had to explain the story to a third Service Advisor, who told me that he’d see to it that the original Service Advisor would be made aware. At about 7:45, I rode my bicycle home. At 3:50PM, I still had heard from no one,; therefore I called the original Service Advisor hoping for some status on my car. The call went to voicemail- I left a detailed message, and I requested a call back. After an hour, without receiving a call back, I wondered, whether or not, the original service Advisor even reported to work- I called the Service Office to verify, and to advise that I had heard nothing, and an hour earlier, I had left a detailed message requesting status on my car. I was told that the Original Service Advisor, had reported to work, and that the Service Representative who answered the phone, would walk over, herself, to talk to him. About a half an hour later, I received a call from the original Service Advisor, who let me know that the mechanic had just finished putting my car back together, and that it was ready for me to come and pick it up. I requested that the Service Advisor arrange for a shuttle driver to come and “shuttle” me back from home to the dealership. He verified my home address, and said he would. He called me back promptly to advise me that the driver was about thirty minutes away, and that she would call me when she was on her way to pick me up. Soon thereafter, I received a call from the shuttle driver- she was on her way. I was waiting out in the front of my residence when she arrived. I was “shuttled” back to the dealership. The Service Advisor greeted me, apologized for the longer than usual duration fro the repair work, and directed me to the cashier. I expressed my concern about being referred to the cashier, since previously the Service Advisor had told me that my third party warranty deductible of $100.00 had been waived. He assured me that it was, indeed, waived, and it was just to finalize the paperwork. I thanked him, I walked to the “waiting area,” and my car was driven up to where I waited. Mission accomplished. Whoo wee! More
Disappointed I bought my CRV here in 2009 and the level of customer service was superior. I havent been here in a couple of years but had to go for couple of recal I bought my CRV here in 2009 and the level of customer service was superior. I havent been here in a couple of years but had to go for couple of recall notices. I was shocked at the deterioration of customer service. The service technician was a condecending and passive aggressive. He also gave me a list of issues my car supposedly had. After he lists what sounded like thousands of dollars of work, he then tells me some of it is preventative maintenance—which part I have no clue. Part of the services needed were supposedly brake pads. He explained that mine were at 3mm and they need to be changed at 2mm. I decided to take my car to another place where I was told I didnt even need brake pads yet. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO GOUDY HONDA. Both my mother and I will be purchasing new Hondas in the next 6 months and it wont be from here. More
Worst experience ever!!!!! Service department is a joke I went there for some repairs on my civic and I ended up getting scream at over the phone by Dennis a so call service adv Service department is a joke I went there for some repairs on my civic and I ended up getting scream at over the phone by Dennis a so call service adviser. He's rude and deserves to be fired. Let's not talk about the other incompetent name Alex he's the one who started all, I been a costumer for more than 17 years and on those long years I have not been so upset at someone like I was on Friday when I spoke to these clown name Dennis. He told me that he did not care how long i been a costumer that him Jonh and Alex were going to put the service department back in order and that should be thankful that he was doing me a favor on re checking on my car for free! Since they charge $140.00 to do so I told him look if you know how to do your job right you will see on the history of my cat that I have not pay 140 before because my car has always been service at the dealership and therefore I don't have to pay since you guys do the work on it. And that's besides the point I had taken my car to get inspected and I ask to do a full diagnosis on my cat before doing any job like that if my car needed a big job and it was more that what my car is actually worth then why do it. Its time for a new one. But They didn't do what I ask they just told me that my car needed a change of the power steering wheel pump but it could wait, then went a head and replace the 02sensor and the camshaft and for that I had to pay 1,011 Then I take the car home and the check engine light came on and I call the guy Alex and he's like well I don't know you must had done something and then he's like I can't tell you nothing if you don't bring the car here. I take it in on Friday and these xxxxxxx Dennis tells me that my transmission is Done!! And that I should be greatfull that I was not getting charge. By him telling me that! I was like are you kidding me that's why I took the car over for you guys to see what the probleam was I pay 1,011 to get the problem fix and now you tell me these do you not think that if I was able to pay 1,110 dollars I can't pay for your stupid 140???to tell me that the first job that you guys did was not done right? He was getting loud and I say that I wanted to talk to Mr. Jim and he say it does not matter what he says Jonh the new service director is above him and there for what Jim says is nothing, when he told me that I truly lost it who is he to say things like that then I ask to talk to Jonh and he say he's gone for the day and it was not even 430 I was like really I went to the shop to pick up the car and there he was. I just think that if these so call Jonh did not wanted to talk to me why hide. At the end of the story I spoke to chassity and she and Mr. Jim got things taking care of. I have been going and sending business to that dealership that I had never ever expected to write these. I know Mr Tony, Mr. Jim, Tito Rosales Michael Deville Alfonso, Yohan, almost everyone there and had always treat me like family until now that I had these undesirable experience in that department. I do want to make clear that not everyone is bad but the bad ones should be cut off before they keep desapointing the costumers. More
Appointments are useless I came in for brake change and I was outside in a flood of car waiting to be taken in. My appointment was at 7am. I did not talk to a representative u I came in for brake change and I was outside in a flood of car waiting to be taken in. My appointment was at 7am. I did not talk to a representative until 7:50am! During that time , I heard 3 staff members complain about customers who were upset about the excessive wait. They were bad mouthing customers rather than working, it is completely unprofessional. I am super upset that I made an appointment but it was worthless, it’s a first come first serve system. They was no system for people with appointments. The supervisor showed up at the center at 730 and the workers finally started working. I don’t think this intake system is working. The representative who finally helped me was very friendly. More
