I have never experienced such poor communication, having my car serviced, as I did with this dealership. I brought my Accord in (day 1) with two issues, both covered by a warranty. One was difficult to diag my car serviced, as I did with this dealership. I brought my Accord in (day 1) with two issues, both covered by a warranty. One was difficult to diagnose (bluetooth issue), the other very obvious (window regulator issue). I explained in detail, the bluetooth issue, to Alex their service associate. I demonstrated the window issue to him. Alex assured me he'd look into and fix the window issue and would have his "expert" look in to the other issue. I got a rental from them. I heard nothing from them until the following afternoon. Day 2. Their "expert" had been given none of the detail I'd provided and was going in a totally wrong direction (of diagnosing) as result. He was grateful to get my details. At that time I asked about the window. He knew nothing about it and saw nothing on the work order about the window. He said he'd look in to it. I heard from them again the next day. Day 3. They couldn't find the issue with the bluetooth but told me my car was ready to be picked up. I again asked about the window. I was told my car was done but they could find none of the paperwork on what had actually been done! Alex was not working that day, but they'd "figure it out". I got a call the next day (day 4) from the service manager. They had just then diagnosed the window issue and wanted my approval to fix it. They'd have to order a part but would get it the next day. I was also told that they'd comp me one of the rental days, and the warranty would cover another. I agreed. The next day, (day 5) mid afternoon, I called to inquire about my car. I was told they'd been waiting for me to come get it, as it was done. I'd received no call letting me know it was done. I went to pick it up. Alex had returned to work, and was charging me for all five days of rental. I explained what the manager had said about comping me a day. He told me he had no power to do so. I reminded him of his assurance to have the window fixed but written nothing down, resulting in at least two extra rental days. He had the nerve to blame me, as I'd brought it in with two issues rather than one! I asked him if he'd ever had a vehicle with more than one issue brought in. He did get the rental day comped. I paid and went to my car. The bluetooth "specialist" was with me. He explained what he'd done, but couldn't duplicate the issue. I was immediately able to demonstrate it for him. All he could say was to try to take a picture of the screen when it malfunctions again, and to bring it in again. I reminded him that he'd just witnessed the issue, part of which was the screen "freezing". What good would getting a picture of a frozen screen do, especially since he'd observed the issue? I left, totally disgusted. What good is buying a "wrap around" warranty from them, if this is the service (or lack of) they provide? I have never encountered such incompetence, and lack of both organization and communication, as I did with this dealership! I do not recommend buying any type of warranty from them, or taking your car to them for service. More

I had a terrible experience during my last visit. I had completed some major services in this dealer before in Jan, 2020 ($1000 major service I had received before). However this time, they suggested repla completed some major services in this dealer before in Jan, 2020 ($1000 major service I had received before). However this time, they suggested replacing fluid rear differential (needs to be replaced every 3 years) after 9 months of last the replacement of this fluid. They suggested 450 CCA battery which they rated 410 CCA battery as good in the previous service. Car was not washed though included. They even charged tax to me in Oregon. Weird. More

Great information and help in buying a new 2019 HRV. Appreciated Robert Nathan's help and care in answering all our questions. 👍😉 Brought our 2001 crv in for a determination of why the Appreciated Robert Nathan's help and care in answering all our questions. 👍😉 Brought our 2001 crv in for a determination of why the driver window stopped working after work was done on the door latch. Would have preferred to see the problem after the Dr panel was removed. Got the crv back with the panel put back, the window up and now the door lock switch doesn't t work. 😫 Don't like not being able to see the problem when I come in for service. Prefer a smaller shop for access to problems and mechanic. Every time I brought a door problem happened, we got an additional problem. I'm selling the crv with a recommendation they NOT get the door problems repaired at Beaverton Honda🙈 Eric tried very hard to help me. Good effort Eric More

Going above and beyond We took our 2012 Honda Pilot in to replace part of the front suspension that was having issues. It turned out the issue was just outside of warranty c We took our 2012 Honda Pilot in to replace part of the front suspension that was having issues. It turned out the issue was just outside of warranty coverage by a few months and was going to cost $1000. Our service rep, Lance Swanson, worked with his manager and the regional American Honda rep to get our repair covered under the expired warranty. What a fabulous surprise. Lance and his team went above and beyond to take care of us -- they could have simply done nothing. I've purchased 2 Hondas from this dealership thus far and I would expect I'll be back to buy more. Big thanks to Lance and team! More

Colossal waste of time I called in to schedule and appointment to have the DVD player fixed on my 2009 Honda Odyssey and the lady on the phone made an appointment for me rig I called in to schedule and appointment to have the DVD player fixed on my 2009 Honda Odyssey and the lady on the phone made an appointment for me right away. My wife and I both took time off work to take the van down and leave it overnight but when we showed up we were told that they don't actually service DVD players. You would think the service people would know what services they actually offer... but that's not the case. As if the gross incompetence of this department wasn't enough, I was not offered any apology or anything at all to make up for this colossal waste of time other than a suggestion to call Car Toys. In my business, if I make a mistake I make up for it 10x over. Not so with this company. They have no remorse when it comes to their mistakes. I have not felt more like a number is years and will definitely not be coming back. More

Sales is unresponsive to warranty related emails, service does not communicate well. Service overcharged my wife after I confirmed a repair quote. This is currently in dispute. A complaint has been filed with the BBB. Details: Used vehicle was delivered to customer low on fluids, mis-aimed headlight, burnt out taillight, burnt out license plate light, tires including spare under-inflated by over 10 psi, two door lock actuators are failing. There is no dealer that should deliver a car in this condition used or not, cheap or not. Most of these items were fixed for free (some remain unresolved), however since sales never responded, I was never sure they were going to be fixed nor if it would cost us anything. My local mechanic also identified some other items which the dealer claims are working as designed (they aren't and it doesn't take a mechanic to diagnose these things - worn struts, serpentine belt tensioner noise, failing actuators.) After speaking with the service manager about their poor delivery of the car, I felt that we may have repaired our relationship despite sales still never having answered an email. Turns out I was wrong. I take the car in for service and they pull a bit of a bait and switch on us, I'm quoted one price, my wife is told it'll be done at the quoted price but never given an actual number, the actual number ends up almost 20% higher than I was quoted. Weekend service manager essentially calls me or my wife a liar. Won't bother talking to his 2 employees who quoted me the lower price, claims he was standing there when my wife was quoted the price. She never was. This is now me calling him a liar. They won't refund us the money. EDIT, they did refund the money but they still earn a 1 star for throwing the price dispute onto the ongoing problems. Needless to say, they will never touch our car again and I will never purchase another vehicle from them or recommend them to anyone except for the nice person at the parts counter. More

scheduling mess Scheduling service is a mess: phone is not answered, online chat person was unable to figure out who is the "Owner" of my vehicle even after I provide Scheduling service is a mess: phone is not answered, online chat person was unable to figure out who is the "Owner" of my vehicle even after I provided her my name, phone and she identified prior service record. She also couldn't figure out that I purchased tires there (?). Phone scheduling offered me a spot Wednesday when they open at 7 am but said that the tire changeover (normally about 45 minutes max at a tire service center) would require me to leave my car for a minimum of 3 hours. I know the drill: one drives in and "checks in, then waits until some later time when they have time to work on the car. I asked whether if I arrived early they would just service my car at the appointed time. No luck. More
