Jasper Powe did a wonderful job!!! I brought my car to be service by McKenney Salinas Honda in September, 2016 for a routine Timing Belt package for $699.00. I set up a time to drop off I brought my car to be service by McKenney Salinas Honda in September, 2016 for a routine Timing Belt package for $699.00. I set up a time to drop off my car with Jasper Powe on Monday. I came on Monday and everything went as planned and I was able to get a loaner car. I brought the loaner car back the next day on Tuesday because I was told my car was ready. I came and got my car and Jasper Powe was very courteous and thanked me for my service. He did inform me that my radiator needed a new top and I told it was ok to put a new cap on. I paid and left for work. When I got to my job in Gastonia my car was smoking and I had a guy at my job to look under the hood of my car. I seen the hose was unattached and coolant Leaking out on the ground with smoke. I called Jasper and he had some technicians to come out to my job and escorted my car and I back to the dealership. I was told they had seen that problem with the radiator before I picked up my car but it was no problem at the dealership. About this time, I was very frustrated because I am missing time from work. I bought my car in for a Timing belt change not for the Radiator to be fixed too. Jasper was very helpful and I appreciated Jasper showing me the problem and what needed to be done on the radiator but I was still upset. I was told that I needed to buy a new hose for the radiator. I bought a new hose at the dealership then the hose didn't work because it was too small. So I took it back to parts and got my money refunded on my card which took Wells Fargo bank 3 days to refund my money on my card. So they used my old hose and were able to fix my radiator but I was told that I had to pay for the labor and the parts which was expensive. I had just finished paying over $750.00 for the Timing belt plus tax and a radiator cap. So i was already upset and now looking at paying almost $1000 dollars. I asked Jasper to speak with the manager Jimmy poole. I explained my situation to Jimmy and he gave me a discount on fixing my radiator. I felt like it was really not my fault that something happen with my radiator when I brought my car initially into the dealership for a Timing belt change. When I brought my car into McKenney Salinas Honda on Monday there was no smoking and no problem with the radiator. So something had to have happened in the shop. I think when the technician was taking the hoses apart for the timing belt that he didn't do a good job in putting the hoses back together. I felt like I should not have been charged for the radiator because I had spent 3 days trying to get my car taken care of and I was so tired. I was so frustrated because I brought my car in for a timing belt package and ended up.paying an additional charges for a radiator in my car. Like I said when I brought my car in on Monday there was no radiator problems. I appreciate Jasper Powe being professional and nice in helping me but I felt like it was not fair and even though I got a discount it should have been free for the radiator due to I didn't come in at first with that problem.

For the Love of God, stay away I'll be short and to the point: took my car in to be serviced for a faulty AC in my Honda four door sedan. I was told it was a bad AC clutch and coil. I'll be short and to the point: took my car in to be serviced for a faulty AC in my Honda four door sedan. I was told it was a bad AC clutch and coil. They named a price to replace it, I said ok, and they went ahead and repaired it. The day I picked it up, I drove off and after less than 2 minutes, the air went from slightly cold to burning *hot*. I drove it straight back to the service center and explained that something must have gone wrong, as it was not fixed. The lady went back to the shop to get the mechanic to come out and look at it. There's a glass window that looks into the shop: the group of mechanics standing there heard what she was saying to them, glanced at me through the window and began **laughing** (odd, don't you think?). They took it back, still couldn't figure out what was wrong, and told me they'd call me. Turns out, the mechanic hadn't bothered to look at the compressor, which was the part that was "bad", not the AC clutch/coil. So *that* had to be replaced. I ask you: shouldn't a properly-trained mechanic catch this to begin with? That was another $200 dollars to fix, which they did not eat. I did not receive an apology/explanation/anything from a manager. I was given a rental car once I asked for one, but the over all attitude of these guys is generally negative. When I came in for my 75,000+ mile service appointment a few months before, a mechanic came out of the shop wearing white surgical gloves with a *red swastika* drawn on it. Really? When I happened to scowl as I looked at it, another man standing there who must have noticed my reaction, gave me a harsh, "keep your mouth shut" look. My car being serviced by men wearing symbols of xxxx Germany is not really appealing. I'm sorry. These experiences, coupled with the high prices and the attitudes, are enough to make me stay away. One last thing: my husband and I have been taking our Hondas, which we used to lease from McKenny-Salinas, to this service center for nearly 10 years. Once this recent shenanigan happened, we decided to drop them. More

My 1999 CRV needed a seat belt replacement so while the service dept. was installing it I wandered around looking at the new CRVs. With lunch box in hand I was approached by Roger on his way into work that service dept. was installing it I wandered around looking at the new CRVs. With lunch box in hand I was approached by Roger on his way into work that morning, with can I help you. From there the new blue CRV might get to go home with me. I wouldn't dare bring it home without the wife knowing about it. Anyway after we put some numbers together I told them I'd be back when my wife was back in town. That night she pulled the trigger on it, so I went back the next morning. Rogers schedule changed and in stepped Dean ready to close this deal out. Both salesmen were very professional and understood what I needed. The experience was better than I had expected with more techonolgy since my CRV that we purchased from them in 2000. More
Jeff Black told us it would cost alot of money to do the We Owe You work and is telling us it is not covered, even though we bought a certified preowned car and the one year warranty and the 7 year warranty We Owe You work and is telling us it is not covered, even though we bought a certified preowned car and the one year warranty and the 7 year warranty. We reported a clunk noise in the back, right window after the test drive. Brought the car in on the we owe you; the technician said, "Something is broken inside and that is why there is the clunk noise." Now we are being stalled around, no return calls and our 30 days is running on the we owe you. Up until this point, we loved the dealer, now we are contemplating suing in small claims court. We would never have bought a certified preowned car and paid extra for that and the warranties if we knew it meant nothing. Robert Lombardo, 828-478-1370. Just do the right thing and fix what you promised you would on your certified preowned vehicle. Dealings with Lamont Stevenson were great up until now also. Now getting the fast talk run around from him also. Open to calls anytime to discuss the issue before going to the media. I am pleased to report that all issues have been resolved to our satisfaction and Jeff Black was extremely courteous to us on the visit where the window noise was fixed. Now we just have to clarify our extended warranty that we purchased. We were told by both Chris and Lamont it was "bumper-to-bumper" for 7 years or 100,000 miles. Now in the mail we received our owner ID card stating the warranty is for the power train for a hundred thousand and non-power train until 1-2-2013 or 50,880 miles. That does not sound like a 7 years/100,000 mile warranty bumper-to-bumper. Chris's exact words were, "top, bottom, middle, sides, everthing was going to be covered. Help. More
My wife took her 2007 Accord in for a factory recall to install new computer code in the on board computer. They told her that you could not put the new program code into the car with the battery in the s install new computer code in the on board computer. They told her that you could not put the new program code into the car with the battery in the shape it was in. They told her in order to do the upgrade; she must have a new battery in order to complete the work. They said the cold cranking amps were too low to allow the computer to work? They told her that she would need a new appointment at another time if she elected to get the battery elsewhere, hence another Saturday sitting in their dealership. The car was starting fine and had never given a problem. I have never heard of this. I checked this out with a few local service shops and they were just as confused as me and had never heard of such a thing. The battery was strong enough to start the car, run the fan and radio without the engine running and then start the car on top of that. When I asked the service representative if the memory of the car was volatile, he said no. This did not add up and was the poorest of showings in my opinion. Buyers beware - Especially you ladies.
