Horrible Service Department This used to be my go-to dealer but not since December 2014. I have had bad experience since then. My calls to the service department was either answe This used to be my go-to dealer but not since December 2014. I have had bad experience since then. My calls to the service department was either answered then immediately dropped or answered by a rude guy that when I ask his name, answers "this is the Service Department" and puts me on hold. When I get my car in, I got quoted the wrong wait time (2 hours) from Aly Hawks. I waited, she left for the day, and had to ask for another service adviser, Robin Sim. Experience became bad to worse. Total wait time was now 5+ hours. Robin happily corrected me to the minute, that I have ONLY waited 4 and half hours and it should be done shortly. When Robin gave me an update, he was all over the place, talking to me for a minute and walking away to talk to another person (technician or customer) then coming back to me and asking what my question was. My questions were left hanging and had to be asked multiple times with no direct response/answer from Robin. He kept saying he will ask the technician, will walk away, come back after more than 10 minutes with no answer again. They even tried to charge me shop fees, Robin verbally telling me that I got an oil change which I did not. He was managing my diagnostics!!!! Parts were ordered 12/23/14 but never got a call after 2 weeks that the parts were in. I had to call and ask if they arrived. More

Car service woes Worse car service I ever had. I brought the car from Radley acura. Their puchase process was quite good and deserve a four to five star rating but ca Worse car service I ever had. I brought the car from Radley acura. Their puchase process was quite good and deserve a four to five star rating but car service sucks at this place. I own the car from Radley Acura for an year now and the car went through for oil change service twice but for every service I did I had to go back three times to get it is done right. The first time which was a free A1 service they broke the car leg nut during tire rotation. Instead of fixing the leg nut they replace the broken leg nut in place which subsequently rusted and probably causing wheel alignment which was identified and fixed when they had to replace the complete rotor shaft. Again after 20 day the wiper fluid was empty. When I went back and questioned about they tell me they won't replace until customer runs out of it and complaints. Then with in three months (roughly 2000miles) of first car service the milage of car came down from 20.3 average to 19.5 and car engine was making louder drag noises. When asked they say its norm. I then took the car for second B1 service. I explicitly request them for premium synthetic oil change which normally is known to last minimum 6k as explained by the service agent. Then with in a month the oil fuel reading shows 20% while miles driven since service were 650 miles. The car now drove like a piece of xxxx with unusually louder noise and drag than ever before. I then call customer service number and the service person picks the phone but hangup rude. I then had to talk to Service Manager who seem to respond well and ask me to bring the car back for service. They then do the service premium oil change B1 service again but this time they seem to have done it real as car sounded and drove like real acura since I brought it but they bump the back of the car somewhere during the service. When asked they checked and said they will get it done and they do a good job in fixing it but they bump the front bumper this time. When questioned the rude agent comes up with a story that they never recorded any prior damages on the car hence they wouldn't take responsibility to fix the damage they see it now. This obviously was not my mistake. The agent outright deny to fix the front bumper issue. The issue I realized with this service station is they don't seem to do do anything right deliberately the first time. Until customer complaints they won't fix or tell you anything. I would never use their service place again. Just to add the service lot is so crowded with cars and such narrow area that its high likely chance to see you car scratched or nicked at the end of the service.. More
BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE ALWAYS!!!!! My 2006 Acura MDX's battery died when I was out of state. After AAA came and jumped the car, the radio and navigation systems required a code in orde My 2006 Acura MDX's battery died when I was out of state. After AAA came and jumped the car, the radio and navigation systems required a code in order to be usable again. As we had bought the car used from a (non Acura) car dealer, the original code card was nowhere to be found. I called Radley Acura, where I have paid many thousands of dollars for service/maintenance on the vehicle, but they were unable to help me beyond saying take it in to a dealer and pay $125 to get it reset! Every time I had taken my Acura in to Radley, I have dealt with a different service person. The car is never ready in the timeframe that is provided up front and the service people never follow-up with a phone call, despite telling me that they will. Inevitably, the service department finds something else that needs to be fixed and it's never something small, so I spend more than I expect. I ended up calling Sunnyside Acura (in NH, where the problem occurred) and the parts manager was able to solve the code issue on the phone with me in roughly 5 minutes! Clearly Radley Acura doesn't give two hoots about customer service or the employees are very poorly trained. I will be taking my car to Sunnyside whenever possible now (even though they are in NH and I am there only every few months) and I will NEVER (if I can help it) take my car back to Radley Acura. Karen Radley, if you are reading this review, you should know that my street has 4! Acura owners and I will make sure to let them know about the shameful service I received at Radley Acura. My husband only buys Acuras and we will not be frequenting any of your establishments in the future. More
Radley Acura- The only Acura dealer to but from I have purchased 3 Acuras from Radley since 2007. Each time I decide to buy, these guys are always very responsive to my emails, phone calls, text mes I have purchased 3 Acuras from Radley since 2007. Each time I decide to buy, these guys are always very responsive to my emails, phone calls, text messages before I even make the 70 mile trip to the dealership. That quality of service is by far nothing I have received at any other dealer in the metro area. Car buying has always been a very stressful process for me until meeting the great sales team at Radley. I always walk out if there feeling like a got a 'good deal' always fair on my trade ins. I can't see any reason to go any where else when buying! Folks...even if you are not in the market for a quality Acura please give these guys a call or stop by. They have tons of quality used cars and aggressive prices! I'll end with saying keep up the great work Radley Acura! You've gained a customer for life! More
2014 Acura MDX Purchase This is the first time I've ever written a review on any website for any company, but it was so warranted in this case, I couldn’t resist. My wif This is the first time I've ever written a review on any website for any company, but it was so warranted in this case, I couldn’t resist. My wife and I recently purchased a 2014 MDX from Sam Yohanns at Radley Acura in Falls Church, VA. The service, honesty and friendliness we experienced was fantastic. This is the fourth car we have bought from Radley and the second MDX - every experience has been great. The level of honesty we received from the sales force was something you don’t often see at car dealerships. Their ability to understand our needs and wants (both automotive and financial) was extremely comforting. We drove home in our new MDX with financial situation we were both happy with. I think Radley does a great job of making sure the process is a win-win for both parties involved. I would recommend Radley Acura to anyone interested in purchasing or leasing a car in the DC/NOVA area. -D More
WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE EVER! WILL NEVER GO BACK! To start off, I went in at 7:00 on Friday, May 23rd and by the time the financing portion was finished, it was about 9:00. Khalid was adamant about g To start off, I went in at 7:00 on Friday, May 23rd and by the time the financing portion was finished, it was about 9:00. Khalid was adamant about getting me a loaner because my car still needed to be detailed, inspected, and have the paint & protection done. I refused, only because I just purchased this car and I want to go home with it! In addition, I live in Chantilly; driving to Falls Church is a 45 minute commute for me and my schedule doesn't allow that. Either way, he kept insisting, so I finally agreed that I would come back the following Sunday to have my paint and leather protection done. On Saturday, May 31, Khalid called me to tell me that Roland will be helping me as well and that I should bring my car first thing on Sunday when they open at 12:00. The next day, at 11:30, he calls me to see where I was and why I was late. I repeated what he told me from the day before, additionally reminded him of what time the Service Department opens according to the website. Ultimately, I got there, and was told that it wouldn't take long and that I could wait. I had prior engagements and decided not to wait. We walked into service together and it seemed as if there was some sort of tension between him and the service guys. Apparently, I didn't even have an appointment. Service didn't have any loaners to give me, so after a long back and forth, I ended up with a demo. After already being there for an hour (mind you, I should've just "dropped it off") I got the demo car and drove off. Once I got on the road, I noticed that the tank is completely empty!!! I turned back around and my boyfriend when to inform Khalid and Roland. A porter came to get the demo car to fill it up with gas. Why not just give me another car? After 10 minutes, I was antsy and ready to leave. Khalid kept saying, "don't worry, he's coming back soon." The gas station is right behind the back lot! It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. After 20 minutes of waiting and my boyfriend repeatedly asking Khalid to take us to the gas station to see what the hold up was, Khalid FINALLY decided to take us. Once we got there, he got the call that the porter was back with the car. A total of 32 minutes of waiting to get gas from a gas station that was 4 minutes walking distance? That makes no sense to me! So, my car was supposed to be ready that same day, right? WRONG! In addition to the paint and leather, I was having an issue with the driver's side AC that wasn't getting as cold as the passengers side. I called on Monday, my one day off, to check whether my vehicle was ready. After 8 times of calling and being transferred and then "disconnected," I finally spoke to a guy named Jose. THE WORST EVER! This guy kept making excuses and telling me things I really didn't care about, I just wanted to know when my car was going to be ready, since it should've been ready the day before. I decided to let it go that day because I didn't have the energy to argue anymore. On Tuesday, a guy named DeShawn called me and told me that my car was ready, Ac was fixed, remote start was set up, and that the paint & leather was done. I told him I'd be in either that evening or the following day to pick it up. The next day, I took my lunch break to pick up my car. Something told me to call just in case, and I did. I called and spoke to a guy named Jason at this point. Jason, in the service dept., tells me that my car is NOT ready for pick up and that he'll get more information and call me within 10 minutes. Thank goodness I didn't make the drive! TWO HOURS go by before I called again. This time, I spoke to another guy who told me that DeShawn was in training and blah blah. I wasn't calling to ask about DeShawn, I was calling about my car! Again, I get "disconnected." I called the third time and spoke to a different guy once again, and this time, he told me that it would be ready tomorrow. Mind you, every guy that I spoke to all told me they'd call me in a couple of minutes, however, not ONE of them called me back yesterday from the 4 phone calls I made. Today, I call them again, and I was given the same xx runaround. I finally was able to speak to the service manager, Sohail. He was the ONLY professional and helpful person I've dealt with through Acura. He told me that the paint and protection was being done and was in the detail dept and to call him when I'm on my way so that I could pick my car up. I finally took my lunch again, drive over there, and met with Sohail. He was extremely apologetic and offered me complimentary oil changes, too bad I've got free oil changes for 4 years anyway, so that made no difference. I drive off to see that the leather was oily from the protection they did, but guess what? It stained by dress!! In addition, the entire bottom inside of the windshield had oil streaks everywhere. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE AND DON'T GO TO RADLEY ACRUA IN FALLS CHURCH! More
Very dishonest used car sales - buyer beware! I should start by saying I had a very nice salesperson at first who seemed genuine and honest, but didn't know a lot about the history of the used car I should start by saying I had a very nice salesperson at first who seemed genuine and honest, but didn't know a lot about the history of the used car I was looking at and so brought in the used car sales manager who knew more about it. I had questions about what specifically had been replaced on the car since it had fairly high mileage and I didn't want to get stuck with a major expense shortly after purchasing it. I was particularly concerned about the clutch, given the high miles, no Carfax record indicating that it had been replaced and no records from the previous owner. The sales manager gave me a long speech about how each car undergoes an extensive inspection, as if it was going to be certified, even for older cars, and anything that needs to be repaired or replaced is taken care of because their reputation is on the line, etc. He went on to explain that while it was already clean, they had it detailed, and while there was a lot of tread left on the tires, they replaced them, and the windshield had a minor blemish, but they replaced it. I pointed out that what he mentioned were inexpensive, largely cosmetic fixes and that my real concern was mechanical condition and asked specifically if he knew the condition of the clutch and when or if it had been replaced. He assured me all the mechanical components had been checked, including the clutch, and were fine, and showed me the dealership's repair record showing the areas they checked and what they had done. He got up to check on something and while I had the time alone, I looked through the papers he had been holding and on the second page - the one he didn't show me - the mechanic had put in the note under "recommendations": "Worn out clutch" and "Needs clutch and master switch." The very thing I had asked about and he claimed had been checked and was fine. So the long and short of it is, they not only offered for sale a car in need of a major repair, but lied about it when asked directly. That tells me something about how they run their business and should be a warning to others. More
Wow! This is an interesting case study in great intentions, but frustrating execution. I bought a new RDX at Radley in Jan. 2013. The level of service provided by the sales department was solid. Th intentions, but frustrating execution. I bought a new RDX at Radley in Jan. 2013. The level of service provided by the sales department was solid. The salesman knew the product and was reasonably responsive. The finance guy was straightforward and efficient and the car was delivered in good condition. Now, comes the bad news. We were told to expect a customer service survey and then we were basically told we should give them all 10s on their ratings as it meant "money in their pocket." That comment took what was a good experience and soured it. It has happened three additional times in the service department ... each time we've taken the car in. The service experience was good overall. They were efficient and fast, just a bit overpriced. But again, they staff all but badgered me for "10" ratings on their darn survey. This approach is annoying and unprofessional. Clearly in their quest to get strong scores on their surveys, they actually take a good experience and make it a bad one. What a shame! Company leadership should reconsider their misguided approach to trying to rig the survey results. Truth is they'd probably get good ratings if they just asked people to complete the survey. The pressure for perfect 10s made me want intentionally rate the experience poorly. Instead, I simply chose to ignore the survey calls (after I did the first one). I shared this opinion with the dealership the first time I responded to their survey. Clearly it didn't do any good as I was harassed to provide 10s on the survey again just last week. That's why I've decided to share my experience is this more public forum. My only other complaint is with the maintenance package they sold us for $1,100. While the finance guy told us it covered all routine maintenance, he failed to tell us how that was defined which is by the service messages on the car ... which seem to prescribe bare minimum levels of service (i.e. first oil change at 7,000 miles). I feel ripped off and won't make that mistake again. Come on Radley. Get it together. Don't screw up a good thing. Don't let your quest for inflated service rating have a negative impact on your business. You're doing a good job. You don't need to harass people for perfect 10s. More
