Honda of San Marcos

Last Minute Service My name is David. I drive my car around 35,000 miles per year for my work. I cannot be without a vehicle. I recently needed service to my Honda Civic My name is David. I drive my car around 35,000 miles per year for my work. I cannot be without a vehicle. I recently needed service to my Honda Civic Si. So I called Honda of San Marcos and spoke with Dusty Barker who is the Service Manager and he was able to repair my problem before the close of business. What makes this story extra special is he didn't even get to start on my car till 5:15pm. One of the Honda Technicians that everyone calls "Willy" stayed to save the day. When people go "Above and Beyond" it means something. I"ve always known Honda is a quality product, now here is a "Quality" dealership you can count on for Sales and Service. More

Timing Belt Seal I recently took my car in for its annual inspection. During that inspection, several issues were found. One of which was a Timing Belt seal leak. A I recently took my car in for its annual inspection. During that inspection, several issues were found. One of which was a Timing Belt seal leak. A year and a half ago my wife and I moved to NC from TX for my job. Before we left I had my car go through Honda's 200,000 mile maintenance and had a Timing belt replaced. For those of you that are not familiar with the replacing of a timing belt, it is not just the belt, but a whole kit including the seals. The total price of the Kit and labor comes out to $900.00. Even though Honda was more costly than other mechanics in the area, I choose to have the work done through Honda of San Marcos because we trusted the "Honda certified maintenance" and also because it was our home dealership. As most of you know, my wife and I are from San Marcos and have very deep roots there. We wanted to make sure that it was done right and that we could rest easy while being away. Within the last year and a half the car was shipped to NC and has been driven to and from work. The mileage at the time of the Timing Belt replacement was 203,609 miles, the mileage now is 213,610 miles. I have logged a total of 10,000 miles since our move. Timing Belts are meant to last 70,000 miles before recommended replacement. At my rate of driving that would have been 10 years. I called the dealership in San Marcos to find out what can be done about the faulty seal. According to the Service Manger there, NOTHING can be done. Honda of San Marcos’ policy is 12 month or 12,000 miles warranty on all works. I find that terribly convenient for Honda because most issues that are not of catastrophic nature are only found during maintenance and inspection. I cannot recommend a dealership that does not stand behind its work or parts. This problem would have not been found if not for the annual 12 month inspection process in NC. We are now out $900.00 that we originally spent with Honda of San Marcos and looking at another $600.00 to have this replaced in NC. More

New 2015 Honda CRV Our experience at Honda San Marcus was excellent! Don Peltier helped us get the exact car we wanted. He was thorough and very friendly, completely unl Our experience at Honda San Marcus was excellent! Don Peltier helped us get the exact car we wanted. He was thorough and very friendly, completely unlike other sales people we've dealt with. This was the only dealership that offered all of the information we wanted up front without us asking for it and followed up with phone calls and emails. Plus the prices were comparable with other Honda dealerships. We never felt that he was hiding anything or trying to get us to pay a higher price. Don was the real reason we chose Honda San Marcus over other dealerships; even though they were a lot closer to where we live. Ask for Don Peltier when you go Honda San Marcus, you won't be disappointed! We also can’t thank Teresa in Title/Registration for hanging in there in getting our Disable Vet Plates transferred. She is very nice, polite, and knows her stuff. No matter how difficult the task she comes through! I almost forgot who else offers a Lifetime Powertrain Warranty? More
