I've never had any negative experiences while having my Accord or my CRV serviced. Of course they are like all dealerships (they get you on labor) but for me it's about peace of mind.

We live only a few blocks away from this dealership. Their service department is SO bad that we bought our Honda Pilot and get it serviced 45 minutes away! For example, our 2009 Pilot, still under Their service department is SO bad that we bought our Honda Pilot and get it serviced 45 minutes away! For example, our 2009 Pilot, still under warranty, suddenly had a dead battery on 12/30/11. We charged it, it was fine, it was dead again. This happened three times in two days. We took it to Napleton on 12/31/11. We explained that the battery was dead and that it seemed something was draining it even while it was turned off. We explained it was relatively new and that we had re-charged it three times. Their "technician" did nothing to diagnose the problem. He said the battery is dead, so you need a new one. We paid for a new one. The NEXT DAY, the new battery was again dead. We brought it back to Napleton on 1/2/12, where they again correctly diagnosed that the battery was dead. No kidding, we know it is dead. But why is it dead? They had the nerve to say the NEW battery was probably a lemon. My husband insisted that a technician check to see if amperage was being drawn on the car while it was off. They didn't have a technician there, so it stayed overnight. The next day, a technician found that the air compressor relay was bad, staying on and draining the battery. They refused to refund the cost of the new battery, which we did not need to begin with. To add insult to injury, they had recharged the freon in our AC (which was also an incorrect diagnosis) on our first visit. Because the compressor stayed on, it drained out the new freon, so they charged us to re-fill that as well. This dealership has a terrible service department. We thought their new building would mean an improvement. It didn't. Not only will we boycott their dealership, it's likely we'll go with a Toyota for our next car. More
I want to thank Craig for all he did to make me feel comfortable when my CRV did not start. Craig went above and beyond and gave me the number of a tow company that was efficient and effective.

Craig also helped me when I came in for an oil change, and was knowledgeable, efficient, and personable. =) More
My husband brought in our Accord for service, with the intent of leaving it there and having me drive him home in my Civic. Whilst I was there, one of their servicemen BACKED INTO my Civic with my own Ac intent of leaving it there and having me drive him home in my Civic. Whilst I was there, one of their servicemen BACKED INTO my Civic with my own Accord! The Accord was undamaged, but I had to leave the Civic there so they could repair the damages. This was on a Monday, it won't be ready until Friday. When I said that I had urgent business and needed my car back, they said they could have a loaner for me. Only, when I arrived, nobody could be arsed to help me! I and my husband waited over half an hour and spoke to four different people before somebody figured out that the cashier had the information I needed and directed me to her. SHE took care of me in two minutes, which SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED upon my ARRIVAL, not half a bloody hour later! On top of that, they charged me at least $3000 more than my Civic should have cost. Once the tickets in my service book have run out or expired, I am NEVER setting foot in this place AGAIN!!! More
My father, who's English is weak, asked me to call because he's gotten the run-around for 3-weeks now on getting the car he just bought my 16-yr old sister fixed. It needed to have a new spoiler put because he's gotten the run-around for 3-weeks now on getting the car he just bought my 16-yr old sister fixed. It needed to have a new spoiler put on and some scratches taken off. First off, 2 weeks after the purchase, the dealership called my sister & scheduled a 10am apptnt to have the spoiler installed. No problem there. However, the serviceman then drove my sister to a shoppoing center where she can wait it out. By 5 o'clock, the car was still not done so my sister asked to be taken back to the dealership. They didn't even start on the car until she got back into the dealership! Why it took them this long & this teenage kid got dumped off at a shopping center is beyond me. Now, they tell her that they can't repair the scratches until the weather improves!!! That's not as bad as the reaction I got from the GENERAL MANAGER when I called to complain about the treatment my dad & sister have gotten! First off, I didn't even raise my voice to the guy; I specifically told him that I called to tell him about a problem & allow him the opportunity to redeem his reputation. After all, every salesperson cares about their reputation. Their livelihood depends on referrals...doesn't it?! Instead, this guys was an absolute a$$! He cut me off, told me I'm being melodramatic and then said that he doesn't "talk to anyone other than the person who bought the car!". This jacka$$ then said "you didn't even introduce yourself" which was the first thing I DID when he answered the phone! If he kept his trap shut & his ears open he would've caught that! The worst thing is that I never got to tell him about the scratches because he cut me off and hung up on me. I can NOT believe that this piece of work is the General Manager at this store! Honda is too good of a car to be tarnished by such awful salesmanship. More
We have purchased three new Hondas from this dealer and regularly had our vehicles serviced there. After declining service experiences and a sneaky trick played at our last sale, we will not be giving the regularly had our vehicles serviced there. After declining service experiences and a sneaky trick played at our last sale, we will not be giving them any more business. The service department started out great when we bought our first car from them in 1992, but in more recent years they have, in my opinion, tried to take advantage of my wife's lack of vehicle savvy. Among other things, they tried to convince her that: - no service had been done on the vehicle for about 15,000 miles, when in fact it had been serviced according to Honda's specifications; -she needed new brakes on the vehicle just 10,000 miles after they had done a complete bake job; - her vehicle was dangerously out of alignment, when two other servicing facilities (an independent shop and another Honda dealer's service dept) advised that no alignment was needed. In my experience, Ed Napleton's service prices are significantly higher than competitors' prices, including those of other local Honda dealer service departments. Also, watch out for outrageous shop fees. I have never had a shop fee of more than 10 dollars anywhere but Ed Napleton, where I had one for 25 bucks. When I bought our last car from them, they delivered it to me with door edge guards in place. I hadn't asked for them, but I figured they were being nice to a loyal customer. It wasn't until months later that I realized that the door edge guards had been installed to mask the fact that one of the doors was not properly aligned. As much as I would like to be able to patronize my local dealer and keep my sales tax funds in my home town, I will drive past Ed Napleton to another Honda dealership for future sales and service.
