I called back about 2 weeks ago and I was told not to call and that I will get a call when the parts come in. There was a back order for my parts. xx !!!! I called today and I find out by another gentleman that I was NOT in your system for making the call on March 16, 2015. Why is that !!!! Then it's going to take ALL Day to replace my parts. IT only takes 3 hours to do the work. I spoke with another dealership and that is what they told me. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND BENSON HONDA TO ANYONE !!!! I will take my business elsewhere.... More
full of deception I was with honda benson since I moved here in San Antonio. At first I was satisfied maybe because someone or one of the service technician was honest. I was with honda benson since I moved here in San Antonio. At first I was satisfied maybe because someone or one of the service technician was honest. Well he moved out. that's when I started to have problems. They will fool you in telling you that you need to fix this and fix that or change this or that even though the parts are good. And for the price of service is so high. I made a comparison and I saw the difference. I made a better business bureau complaint. More
Searching for an honest mechanic I had been a loyal Benson customer since 1984. The only two brand new cars I've ever purchased were from Benson dealerships and it is sad that a chan I had been a loyal Benson customer since 1984. The only two brand new cars I've ever purchased were from Benson dealerships and it is sad that a change in their Service Department business practices can wreck that trust, but Benson has lost me as a customer forever. Add them to the list of the dishonest who will bring a customer in for routine maintenance and sabotage other systems in an attempt at a dishonestly earned buck. For an oil change its been a bad two day ordeal. My name is Richard Vivenza. I am a San Antonio native and I stand by what I say. If you know of a Honda Service shop that you trust please feel free to inform me at: dvivenza@hotmail.com More
Incomplete work, incompetent and dismissive service advisor I had an alignment performed as part of some other work. When delivered, the alignment was off. Way off. Rear toe tolerance is 0.16 to 0.04. It was de I had an alignment performed as part of some other work. When delivered, the alignment was off. Way off. Rear toe tolerance is 0.16 to 0.04. It was delivered at -0.05. Normally this would be obviously highlighted in red on the printout, but the printout was delivered in black and white. I raised the issue to the service advisor who divined that my car "must have a bent strut for the alignment to be that far off." What insight! He could tell from some numbers on paper in the office what his mechanic who was under the car failed to see! Or, maybe the strut is fine, but the alignment wasn't correct? Maybe the mechanic messed up? There were no "before" numbers provided, so that's a failure. Tire pressures weren't set correctly, so that's a failure, and I looked at the eccentric bolt on the rear control arm and there seems to be room to adjust it more in either direction, so it doesn't look maxxed out due to a bent component. It is within the realm of possibilities that a part really is bent, but shouldn't the mechanic say that? Maybe "The rear toe is off because there's a problem with the control arm"? I did pay for an alignment, if it can't be performed it would be nice to know. Isn't that what you pay service departments to do: diagnose and repair? Thanks Mr. Other Guy Service Advisor for treating customers like ignorant fools. You really reinforce the stereotype of the dishonest mechanic. You really ARE the guy I warned my daughter about. More
Commendation for Alving Hix Alvin was very cordial and personable. The oil change and the replacement for the transmission fluid (drain and refill) was done so quickly that I was Alvin was very cordial and personable.

My name is Susan, and I had my Honda Accord serviced in February/2014. Cory greeted me with a big smile, and promptly recorded my information and quickly estimated the service to be done. My Honda was re February/2014. Cory greeted me with a big smile, and promptly recorded my information and quickly estimated the service to be done. My Honda was ready before the time he had given me to pick up the vehicle. After paying the bill, I waited approximately 10-12 minutes for a gentleman to bring the car around from the garage. I proceeded homeward when I received a call from Cory saying he was unhappy with me having to wait for my vehicle. He asked me to bring the vehicle back to be cleaned and detailed for free! I was pleasantly surprised, and took him up on it. They did a fantastic job, and I was very elated! Kudos to Cory @ Benson Service Department! Please get out of that building before summer hits, they deserve a comfortable place to work. Best regards-Susan More

Since 2007, I have been with Benson Honda. I purchased my son's vehicle there and chose (for whatever reason) to have my wife's 2009 Accord service at the same location. Fifty percent of my service experi my son's vehicle there and chose (for whatever reason) to have my wife's 2009 Accord service at the same location. Fifty percent of my service experiences have been totally unacceptable. My dissatisfaction ranges from poor service from the shuttle driver to excessive repair time ( minor service) with an appointment, to out right poor advisement and absolutely no appreciation for a customers time. After at least four unexpected experiences I have decided to service my vehicle elsewhere! More
My new Honda had a noise and the service department diagnosed the problem immediately. Kent Thompson was my service advisor and he was wonderful. Not only was Kent knowledgeable, but was very caring!
