Poor Honda Service My wife and I have had horrible experiences from Griffith Honda Service Department. Sales Department is almost as bad. They did not fix an issue with My wife and I have had horrible experiences from Griffith Honda Service Department. Sales Department is almost as bad. They did not fix an issue with our new Honda, they scratched the fenders when they worked on it and they don't call you when they say they will. STAY AWAY;BUY ELSEWHERE!! More

Poor service department We had to take my wife's Honda pilot in 5 times before they fixed the recall correctly.

The vehicle worked flawlessly before we took it in and right after my wife drove the car away from the lot, the VSA light came on. She called them right away and they took the vehicle the next day and worked on it and said the problem was fixed. Wife took the car home and VSA light came on with a weird clunk and grinding noise this time. This happened 4 times and they could not fix the problem. The last time, I took the car in myself and demanded they were going to fix the xxxx thing right. They had to get a technician from the Toyota dealership (next door) to come and fix it right. I dealt with the service manager and one of the guys behind the service center counter (don't know his name). What a joke, the guy behind the counter told me after they looked at the vehicle that the gyro senso, latitude and longitudinal acceleration sensors were not even tied in to the VSA. I said what in the xxxx do you think "VSA" stands for? The acronym VSA means Vehicle Stability Assist or more commonly known as the vehicle stability control system. It reads the sensors to detect abnormalities like roll over or skidding. These guys need to be schooled more often. I'd suggest not taking a vehicle in for any kind of service work. Portland is 90 miles away, but well worth the travel if you need something done/fixed right. The Dalles Griffith motors is not the answer for proper service work. More

Bought an awesome used car We've purchased 2 used vehicles from Griffith Motors over the past 5 years.

Griffith has invented an internet purchase bait and switch "I purchased a car online from Griffith Toyota The Dalles with just under 7k miles. On delivery day the sales manager advised me that the car actually "I purchased a car online from Griffith Toyota The Dalles with just under 7k miles. On delivery day the sales manager advised me that the car actually has just under 70k miles on it and they wouldn't reduce the price. A new version of bait and switch. I live in the Gorge and expected country morals not city slickness." More

Great Experience! These guys are great, Josh in the service drive made sure he understood exactly what I needed before taking my car to get serviced. While I was waiti These guys are great, Josh in the service drive made sure he understood exactly what I needed before taking my car to get serviced. While I was waiting in the service lounge, a salesman did come over but, was not pestering me at all! He was incredibly friendly, made sure I knew to make myself at home and help myself to the coffee and donuts they had in the refreshment area. Fine young man by the name of David Shepard if I remember correctly. The free car wash coupon was the icing on the cake and i'll be heading back there for my next service! Thanks Griffith, Almost forgot to mention David Griffith himself even came and said hi! He thought I bought a car from him and asked if I was his newest favorite person! What a Hoot! Turns out it was the gentleman sitting next to me had just bought a new car, I thought that was special anyways that he came out and said hi. More

Liars! Honda Fit Ev We followed Hondas instructions to obtain a Honda Fit EV for lease. We placed our name on every local dealership "list" first come, first serve. Recei We followed Hondas instructions to obtain a Honda Fit EV for lease. We placed our name on every local dealership "list" first come, first serve. Received call last night that the first party on the list had until 8 am this morning to decline car and we were next. We showed up at 8 am opening this morning and were told in order: car available, gal declined.2) decision made last night to sell to a local only, 3) the woman did not decline and had a deposit and was to pick up car today. Realizing we were being lied to we volunteered to wait until she picked up car.4) woman declined car , 5) we were not on the list--then how and why did you call us? 6) here's a copy of the list and all people ahead of you. I asked which name was the gal that declined? She's not on the list. 7) the list is not accurate or complete. I asked if they were absolutely not going to lease it to us as we aren't a local? Chris Wofford, sales manager, then states he will go see Internet sales manager. He left over an hour ago and hasn't reappeared. We've been at dealership over 2 hours. Owner-David Griffith-is here but refuses to speak with us. Not only are they not following Hondas policies, they are not following their own policies and have made a plethora of lies. Do not do business with this shady company. More

Took Honda CRV for 150,000 mile service. Part of the service entailed taking out the glove compartment to access a blower. Glove compartment door stops were not reinstalled. First time door was opened service entailed taking out the glove compartment to access a blower. Glove compartment door stops were not reinstalled. First time door was opened it fell away and all contents hit the floor. Brought car back to service department and service manager asked me to pay for new stops that THEY had misplaced. A few days later noticed fluids leaks under car. Turned out that differential drain plug had been reinstalled only finger tight and fluid was leaking from differential. Happy I noticed leaking fluid or could have been a big problem running with a dry differential. Not impressed, won't be back. The worry is, what else did they not get right? More

I have purchased Hondas from different dealerships over several years, and I will purchase all my future Hondas from Grifith Motors. This is the first time I've written a review, but I feel very strongly several years, and I will purchase all my future Hondas from Grifith Motors. This is the first time I've written a review, but I feel very strongly that Griffith Motors deserves to be praised. Low prices and no Micky mouse game playing. The price I was quoted was the price I paid. And it was a lower price than any other Honda dealer I contacted in both the Seattle and Portland areas, by the way, I live in Mill Creek, WA, 272 miles away from the Dalles, OR. It's a nice drive from here to Griffith Motors, and certainly worth it to save money from the higher priced Honda dealers. I guess those big fancy dealerships cost a lot more to operate because they sure have big fancy prices that I don't want to pay. Another thing I like is the smaller town atmosphere of the Dalles. And the people that work at Griffith all seemed very genuine. I never felt hustled or rushed, and after I finished the paperwork David Griffith the owner visited with me before I left. Service department: I take my Honda back to Griffith Motors for all it's service. Some warranty work needed to be done, and I knew any Honda dealers would do the work free of charge, but I trust the folks at Griffith Motors and they continue to earn my business. I even take my car there for oil changes, it's a beautiful drive. And when it's raining in Portland and Seattle, it's usually sunny at Griffith Motors in the Dalles. More

Griffith Honda advertised a 2010 Toyota RAV4 (vin jtmrk4dv7a5085910) on Cars.com for $22,105.00 during a period inclusive of August 10-11, 2010. On Aug 11, 2010, I spoke to salesperson "angela" who t jtmrk4dv7a5085910) on Cars.com for $22,105.00 during a period inclusive of August 10-11, 2010. On Aug 11, 2010, I spoke to salesperson "angela" who told me that price was a mistake. I asked to speak to the used car manager and was transferred to "ed". He told me that the price of this vehicle was more than $28,000.00, and that Griffith Motors could not control "third party advertisers" like Cars.com. Really? Clearly, this dealership does uses deceptive sales practices and potential customers should be made aware of this unethical conduct. They must honor their advertised price of $22,105.00 on the vehicle in question, and on all advertised prices. Reputable businesses do not rely on tricks, bait and switch tactics, and dishonesty to get customers. More
