I had a terrible terrible experience with this dealer while I took my car to service. They did a very expensive repair, but it did not last more than week. Now they are not willing to take responsibility while I took my car to service. They did a very expensive repair, but it did not last more than week. Now they are not willing to take responsibility of their mis-diagnostics and un necessary works. The service workers either do not know what they are doing or do sloppy works. While raising the concern to managements, they are little to no helps. Taking this to BBB and others where I found numerous complaints against this dealership. I wish I did some research about this service center before I go at a first end. More
My wife and I were looking seriously at buying a used 2017 Suburban, and the same day we had planned on this, the vehicle experienced some pretty catastrophic engine failure. Our Salesman was upfront and 2017 Suburban, and the same day we had planned on this, the vehicle experienced some pretty catastrophic engine failure. Our Salesman was upfront and honest with us, and still arranged for us to see the Suburban so we could at least experience the interior and lay eyes on it for ourselves. Everyone was kind and accommodating to us. I'm definitely going to keep an eye on their inventory from now on. More
Second time I’ve come here for an express oil change and it’s anything but express. You WILL wait 2 hours minimum no matter how many cars are there. The service counter makes you feel like you are disturbin it’s anything but express. You WILL wait 2 hours minimum no matter how many cars are there. The service counter makes you feel like you are disturbing them. I felt like I had a done something wrong by asking for an oil change. I paid to have this service for my Honda, but I’m starting to regret it. What happened to those friendly guys greeting you at the front entrance when they think you’re buying a car? Oh well, guess that was just business. More
I come to Gilman Houston for express oil change, but come to find out I have to wait at 2-3 hrs and I already waited for 2 hrs and still waiting. Anyone who wants to come for express oil change, this is not to find out I have to wait at 2-3 hrs and I already waited for 2 hrs and still waiting. Anyone who wants to come for express oil change, this is not for you. I had came before and longest waiting was 1&1/2 hrs. Now I know. No more next time. More
Gillman Honda Service is very unprofessional. I recently took my car in for a tune up it stayed in the parking lot for over a week. I called almost every day with no answer from the Service Advis I recently took my car in for a tune up it stayed in the parking lot for over a week. I called almost every day with no answer from the Service Advisor Kevin. This place needs to be closed down how do you run a business in this matter. More
Horrible experience. I was set to purchase a Civic SI from another dealership. The salesman Pablo from Gillman promised me he would get me the car drive out under 40k. I I was set to purchase a Civic SI from another dealership. The salesman Pablo from Gillman promised me he would get me the car drive out under 40k. I told him I had a deal in the works for just that. He said they would give me a sweet deal. Convinced me to drive out of my way after work for this “deal”. I get there and the first offer is 41k+. xxx! We haggled, but at this point I was just pissed. I walked and lost my deal at the other dealership because I didn’t put money on the deal. So yeah, both Gillman Hondas I went to were shady. Be careful with these guys. More
AVOID this place like the plague. I read the reviews and still decided to go. What a mistake - do yourself a favor and find another dealership! The short story is, I flew in from C I read the reviews and still decided to go. What a mistake - do yourself a favor and find another dealership! The short story is, I flew in from California, I drove over two hours to make it to an appointment at Noon and I arrived at 12:06 PM. That morning, I received several texts and a confirmation of the appointment. I was advised that the vehicle was moved to the front and was ready for me to test drive. The salesperson warmly greeted me, took my information, disappeared and returned with the sales manager. We all know, this is the moment it's about to get weird. He starts making excuses, meow, meow, meow...bottom line is the car isn't drivable. Are you flippin' kidding? Nobody called to tell me that? I gave this place a shot because it was THE car I wanted at the right price, and I trust the Honda brand. This place does not exemplify HONDA as a brand. Don't let the name fool you. Do yourself a favor and AVOID, AVOID, AVOID. More
My Honda Pilot 2016 AC was not cooling. Took to Gillman Honda Houston. After a day, the service consultant Carlos Pineta called me and said Compressor and Condenser need to be changed and i Took to Gillman Honda Houston. After a day, the service consultant Carlos Pineta called me and said Compressor and Condenser need to be changed and it would cost $3400. When I told him I will fix my AC in another shop as you are expensive, he ask me to pay $2700 and then when I told no, he changed to $2250. After 5 days, they "fixed" my AC. Drove 1 day and noticed that AC is not cooling again. Took back to the Gillman. Afer 2 days, he told me AC hose is leaking, and he asked for $1000 to fix, and this is not covered by previous service warranty. In total, my car was in the shop sitting for 10 days with 2 AC repairs costing me about $3000. More
Subject: My 2017 Honda Cr V had a serious problem, and the official Honda service ignored the main problem and gave advice with misdirection to solve the problem. Failure Symptoms: All warning signals the official Honda service ignored the main problem and gave advice with misdirection to solve the problem. Failure Symptoms: All warning signals popped out from the dashboard screen (even low tire pressure), first siren-like sound from the car, then an excessive amount of smoke from the exhaust system with burned oil smell, lack of acceleration, and no more speed than around 50 mph. Honda Gillman’s Diagnostic: Their first diagnostic was the P0299 Turbocharger underboost problem, and others (you may find details attached). Then one hour later, they reset the system and made the second diagnostic, and they have found no confirmed DTCs, pending DTCs as random misfires, and others (you may also find details attached). Their recommendation was the injection system must be changed, and I need to pay between $1200-1300 for this. I asked them if they were sure that the car would be repaired this way; and they said that if the problem persists after this process, they will take care of the turbocharger. In other words, they did not know whether the repair process they were going to do would solve the problem or not. It seems that they have no idea what they are doing, or they want to just make extra charges till they can solve the problem for real. When I asked about the powertrain extra warranty which was sent for my car by Honda with a letter, they told me that they could not give any information unless the injection change process is done. The service clerk who wrote my email address incorrectly on the service form told me that he never experienced such a car problem in his life. Overall, with all my weird and unacceptable experiences in the Honda service, I did not find their approach as solution-oriented. I told them that I would complain about them to Honda USA and everyone who would be interested. The service clerk said that I am free to do whatever I will. What a customer-oriented approach, isn't it? So, I was not able to drive my car to another Honda official service to get different advice and pay another $167 for a diagnostic, because of my car’s condition. For this reason, I chose an independent mechanic company from a mile away from Honda Gillman to solve my car problem. That company made a diagnostic and found that the turbocharger is dead. (You may find an attached video file of the turbocharger) They have changed the turbocharger and cleaned the oil system from debris that is coming from failed turbocharger blades. Now my car runs fine although they did not replace the fuel injection system which was recommended by the Honda Gillman service. More
