Hello, On Saturday June 29th, John from CMA's Valley Honda Service was amazing. On a vacation trip up north, my wife had a problem with her Mazda CX-5 (Self-inflicted, the car is great). We live almost Honda Service was amazing. On a vacation trip up north, my wife had a problem with her Mazda CX-5 (Self-inflicted, the car is great). We live almost 5 hours away from that area. We had to get the car towed to the dealership. It was late in the afternoon and the typical time to fix the issue would be several hours, maybe days as per Mazda. I didn’t think it would be fixed that day, so I went ahead and made reservations for a hotel for my wife, daughter and puppy. I’m losing my mind because I couldn’t do anything from home. John offered to take my family and their luggage to the hotel if they couldn’t get it fixed. The service team gave my family something to eat, they made my family feel safe and in good hands. Obviously, the car was not on John’s schedule that day. Somehow, John was able to put 3 guys on it and get it running in about 2 hours!!! Another Mazda dealership told me it could take days to fix the problem. You have no idea how my heart felt when I got the call that the car was fixed. My family didn’t have to stay at a hotel! It was the end of the day on a Saturday, John and his team didn’t have to go out of their way for them. I can’t put it into words, how grateful I am to John and his team. Staunton, VA is lucky to how a dealership that will go above and beyond for people. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. More

Excellent Service, quick to respond, and great follow-up.

They are the most accommodating dealership and service department I've ever dealt with and even call the next day to follow-up as to one's satisfaction. More

Fast and reliable service Scheduled routine oil change and tire rotation. Was told appointment would take approximately an hour. I was out the door in exactly one hours time. Scheduled routine oil change and tire rotation. Was told appointment would take approximately an hour. I was out the door in exactly one hours time. Comfy waiting area with complimentary cold drinks or coffee. Friendly and professional service staff. Well worth the 30 minute drive versus my local Honda service center. Will certainly have be back for all other scheduled maintenance. More

Please avoid this dealership at all costs . A little background I currently own a 2006 Honda Ridgeline, 2005 Honda Accord, and a 2018 Honda Civic. To say I'm a fan of Honda is an understat . A little background I currently own a 2006 Honda Ridgeline, 2005 Honda Accord, and a 2018 Honda Civic. To say I'm a fan of Honda is an understatement. I used to take the Ridgeline for all my services to this dealership. As I purchased this vehicle used with 70k miles on it and wanted to make sure the vehicle would last the way a Honda usually does. Over 200k miles and counting can't complain. I figured for my commute I needed a vehicle that was better for mpg, and the Accord is unavailable as it's being used by family. In the past I was always treated well at this dealership so I figured if I was going to drop over 20 thousand dollars I might as well give my business here. Boy what a terrible mistake I made, and can only hope this will save other consumers. Strike one: When I purchased the vehicle I was given a sales associate (who has never sold a vehicle before I know this because he told me) No problem I understand we all have to start somewhere. Strike one came when no one decided to come help the poor sales guy, and we had to keep stopping for other sales members to come over and explain the paperwork. Once again not a big deal I completely understand and chalked it up to poor training. What I don't understand is when a customer is willing to spend a fair amount of money no one from the dealership can help the salesman or his customer (me) out. Strike two: Regular maintenance time (just an oil change) for the Civic in October 2018 I noticed a loud rattle coming from the center air vent, a little concerning considering a brand new car, but it's under warranty so I'm not worried. I created the appointment online and tell them about the rattle and that I'm waiting for my vehicle at the dealership. Two hours later I get notified in the waiting room that my vehicle is ready. At which point my "service advisor" at the time takes me to payment reception with no mention of fixing the vent. I get in the vehicle and noticed they still didn't fix the vent and it still rattles. Now that it's two hours later I don't have the time to continue to wait. Plus it's getting colder and I don't use the center vents in the winter. I'll get it taken care of at a later date. Strike three: Time for second regular maintenance, and I figured I would go ahead and get the vent fixed. This time knowing the dealership is slower I decided to drop my vehicle off and to pick up at a later time in the evening. I fill out the paperwork properly and list that the vent rattles and needs to be repaired under factory warranty. I contacted the dealership 2 hours after my scheduled appointment, and was told my vehicle was ready by a random "service advisor". I asked about the vent and was told "yes they fixed the vent" I stated that it should be under warranty, and again was told "it's fixed". By the time I was able to get back to the dealer it was 7pm. Upon arrival to payment receptionist desk there's an male employee hanging across the desk talking under his breath to the lady receptionist, both employees look at me and continue talking without acknowledging my presence for approximately 2-4 minutes. Ok that's fine I understand, it's late. I get the bill and think that the total is high but obviously I've taken more important people's time so I pay and leave. Strike Four ?: Reviewing the bill I see that they charged me seventy dollars to fix the vent that was confirmed by Honda should have been fixed under warranty. I contact the dealership and I am told that I will be getting a refund (which still hasn't shown up, a week after the mistake was discovered and the dealership notified and promised to refund) So who knows if they will honor their agreement or we have to go to small claims. Strike Five??: Now less then two weeks after they supposedly fixed the vent issue it has returned and is steadily getting louder. So now I have to find another Honda dealership that is hopefully less horrible and more customer focused, and is properly trained on how to work on 2018 Honda Civics to resolve an issue that should have been fixed 6 months ago. Please, I implore anyone that is remotely thinking about giving this branch their money to please reconsider. More
