Honda of Serramonte

Excellent Service The service writers always provide quick and responsive service. They answer questions and explain an estimate of how long the service will take. They The service writers always provide quick and responsive service. They answer questions and explain an estimate of how long the service will take. They even described how the new coffee machine in the waiting area works. Livian who works as a cashier is always friendly and professional. She always greets customers with a smile and she always asks if there is anything else she can help you with before you leave. She even double checked another customers and my e-mail address before we left for a raffle with a tv as a prize the dealership is holding this month. Her friendly demeanor and courteous manner create a comfortable atmosphere that makes people look forward to bringing their car in for service at Serramonte Honda! More

Used 2008 BMW 535i On Sunday, November 20th, I went down to Honda of Serramonte with intention to buy a car advertised on the website, I traded in my 2005 Mercedes Benz On Sunday, November 20th, I went down to Honda of Serramonte with intention to buy a car advertised on the website, I traded in my 2005 Mercedes Benz c230. I purchased a 2008 BMW 535i, used with 64k miles. I did not purchase any additional warranties, the price for the warranty was $4,700. I did pay an additional $250 to get the car inspected and in the case I change my mind I can return the vehicle within the two day time period. I drove approximately an hour home to San Jose on Sunday. For next few days I rarely drove the car and I had it looked at by my mechanic.  On Friday the 24th on my way to catch a flight in San Francisco International at 4:25am. My girlfriend and I left the house at 3:00am, the first thing we noticed was the right rear tire for a second time was indicating it had low tire pressure. We stopped at the gas station to get gas and check the tire properly. After getting gas we got on the freeway and headed towards the airport. About 2 miles on the freeway the car indicated the engine was overheated ”to pull over immediately”. The car also prevented me from accelerating so I had no option other then to pull over on the side of the freeway. After pulling over to the side I turned off the engine and let it rest then turned it back on. We decided we should take the car home to our house before this jeopardizes our trip. After turning the car back on the warning message went away so we proceeded. Within seconds of driving we received the same message and was forced to pull over again. At that time the car was not drivable. I called my sister to give us a ride, we barely made it to the airport. We left the car on the side of the freeway. We immediately called AAA to pick up the vehicle and my sister met them the following morning with the vehicle and had the car towed back to my house about 5 miles away. We retuned home from out of the country Monday 12am 3 days after the incident. When we returned from our vacation we hoped that this was just an error but within a few miles the car was showing the same warnings and in this case we knew there was something seriously wrong with this vehicle. The following morning Tuesday November 28th my girlfriend and I went to Honda of Serramonte. We asked to speak to the General Manager Michael. We told him the situation that had happened with the car and told him we no longer wanted the car because it was showing signs of necessary repairs that were going to be expensive. He told us it was impossible to return the vehicle and asked us why we didn’t call them or email them the day of the incident. I replied, “what were you going to do at 3:00am?” He didn’t have a response. They offered to buy the car back for $9,500 when I had purchased the car for $13,000. We asked if there was anyway that while the car was being worked on if I could have a loaner vehicle in the mean time to get me to work, Michael stated they do not do offer this service for their customers. We agreed to have the car towed and inspected by the BMW dealership closer to San Jose to figure out the problem at their expense.    Santa Clara BMW has an outstanding service department. They called me two days after their inspection and stated it was due to a bad water pump and they estimated it to cost $1458.90 to repair. They were waiting to hear back from Michael as how to proceed with the necessary repairs. I did not hear from Michael until 2 days after I had contacted him and left 2 voicemails. Michael called me the next day and offered to give me $500 towards the repairs of the vehicle.  I declined the offer because I felt that what they were offering was not even enough to pay for the part needed. After speaking to my mechanic he told me he could fix the car for $1,000. I called Michael back with this counter offer and he wished I had suggested this earlier and told me he would speak to the service department and get back to me later. I did not hear back from Michael that day. I called Michael in the morning and he was in a meeting. Michael called back and said that his offer still stands for only $500 towards the repairs. I tried to work with Honda of Serramonte but they were unwilling to work with me. In this case I have filed a small claims against them so I can be reimbursed for the work needed to be done to my car and unfortunately unable to make it to my job because I had no alternate form of transportation.   This was an absolute nightmare from ruining our entire vacation, loosing my job due not having dependable transportation, and the inconsideration that was shown due to the circumstances.     More

Horrible Reception Staff and Service Staff, GM of Dealership Bought a brand new 2016 Honda Civic, only to find out it has rattling issues with the rear when music is played. I brought it in for service, and the Bought a brand new 2016 Honda Civic, only to find out it has rattling issues with the rear when music is played. I brought it in for service, and the service advisor (clearly not someone fully trained in this industry) told me theres nothing that could be done. I tried contacting the GM of the dealership only to be ignored several times with my concerns. I'm going to keep bringing it back and possibly file a lemon law claim. The 2 heavy latina receptionist for service are also very dismissive and should be working at a prison instead of in the "customer service" department. More

The worst 10 minute dealer experience. Came in looking to purchase a used car that has been sitting on their lot for a good month and a half.. Last visit, manager offers us a price a bit ou Came in looking to purchase a used car that has been sitting on their lot for a good month and a half.. Last visit, manager offers us a price a bit out of our budget with tax & licensing. Then today's visit, we noticed that the car's price has dropped about $1000, and decided to come in looking to take the car home. Unbelievably, they offer us close to $2000 more than what the manager has priced us at from our last visit. All i can say is that they are playing games, and by far the worst dealer experience ever. We felt disrespected. I wouldn't recommend this dealer. More
