Dear ssn224, thank you for your review. Royle's parents gave him a fitting name, as he does treat everyone with respect and graciousness.......so you feel like royalty. We enjoy every day we work with him for the same reason. We are so thrilled you enjoyed your purchasing experience. We strive each day to work with pride, respect, optimism and integrity to the highest level in our industry. This is part of our mission core. The Esteve and Headquarter Families are very involved with community and wanted this dealership to not only be in the community but give back to it long past each of us. We are glad you were able to explore the building, please come back and get a guide tour of our roof, where we have solar panels and a “rain forest” roof. The Headquarter Team

Headquarter Honda responded

Dear Mr. Cosgrove, We recently read your review on Dealer Rater and were quite concerned with the way you interpreted the repair of your vehicle and the subsequent return visits to our Service Department. Your original complaint was of a buzzing noise. We diagnosed and found that your power steering gear box needed replacing. We replaced the rack and pinion and test drove your vehicle. When we test drove your vehicle, we found that not only did we fix the noise, but that your car was operating normally as well. This was your first visit. You came in the next day and complained that the car pulled in both directions, that there was a shaking/ vibration, and that the car feels harder to steer at times. We balanced your tires and then went on a test drive with you in the car to see if we could diagnose or duplicate any of the concerns. You agreed with the technician that the other concerns could not be duplicated. One week and three thousand miles later, you came back complaining that the vehicle again pulled in both directions and that the steering wheel was vibrating again. We proceeded to take the rack and pinion out and put it back on, re-balance your tires, and align your vehicle to make sure everything looked good. When we did so, we found that everything was normal. We have a copy of your alignment settings from that visit and all the measurements are within specification. We then test drove the vehicle for a third time and found it to be operating normally with no shimming or vibration or side to side pulling. When you came in after having gone to Coggin Honda, the alignment settings you brought from there showed all the rear measurements out of specification. Our Service Manager found this interesting because we never touched the rear of your vehicle. A power steering rack is in the front and that is the only part of the car that would require alignment. On our alignment sheet, your rear measurements are within specification. You never gave us a chance to inspect the vehicle or verify your claims. Never would we compromise your safety or intentionally cause damage to your vehicle and we are having a hard time understanding what we did incorrectly. We stand by our people, our service, and our work. If we made a mistake we would have gladly handled it. Unfortunately, besides repairing your faulty power steering gear box assembly under warranty, we never duplicated, even with you in the car, any another problem. Please let us know what we can do to better serve you. Sincerely, The Headquarter Honda Team.

All four tires were destroyed by your service department and I was there four times to straighten it out. when the front tires were destroyed because i drove the car to ny on your poorly alighned car with your poor workmanship from your incompitant service department you transfered the good tires from the back to the front and then said the car was ok when all you did was ruin the back tires you put on the front. every time i was at your dealership i asked for the alighnment spec sheet which you could not produce (perhaps because you never alighned the car) The bottm line here is this I have a one year old honda that your dealership was the only one to work on the car. your dealership worked on the front end and and then the front tires went bad I brought it back to you and you rotated the tires and then the back tires went bad after you working on the car. NOW PAY ATTENTION THIS PART IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE THE CAR IS ONE YEAR OLD WITH 20000 MILES SHOULD IT NEED 4 NEW TIRES? DOES HONDA MAKE SUCH CRAPPY EQUIPMENT THAT THEY ONLY LAST A YEAR? I DONT THINK SO AS THIS IS MY 5TH NEW HONDA OBVIOUSLY YOUR INCOMPITANT SERVICE DEPARTMENT RUINED MY NEW CAR AND THEN THE JERK SERVICE MANAGER REFUSED TO PAY FOR IT AND GOT NASTY WITH ME. I AM OUT $520.00 FOR NEW TIRES AND i AM LUCKY ME AND MY FAMILY WERE NOT KILLED IN THIS CAR. I STAND BY MY REVIEW

unhappypoowner responded

I never gave you a chance to inspect the claims because when i showed up there and spoke to Mike Gippert and told him you wrecked my car and owe me four new tires his response was to laugh at me and tell me headquarter honda is not in business to buy new tires for customers. There is nothing you can do at your dealership to rectify this situation as I am afraid to let your service department ever touch one of my cars again. The next time they screw up could cost me and my family their lives. If you would like to stand by your mistakes you can call American Honda and let them know you wish to pay them the $520. You cost me. I am having coggin a credible service department replace the four tires. As far as what you can do to serve me better would be to address the incompetence in your service department before they kill someone. I am also writing letters to the City of Clermont and the better business bureau about your service department putting mine and my family lives at risk!

Yorkbeach2009, we enjoy not only our building and cars, but working together. It meant so much to us for not only the recognition of Mike’s wonderful customer service, but everyone you were not able to meet, the unsung heroes of the dealership. We are glad you appreciate the building as much as us. Periodically we host schools for their STEM and AEP field trips. Sometime this weekend, please check us out on Facebook and YouTube and see how our solar panels were clean today – it will surprise you. Thank you again for your recognition, Gayle Customer Solutions
