Ernie Walton is very attentive to your needs at Lia. More attention should be made of the details for the service department as a whole. I called for a Friday appointment with a request for a phone ca More

Please accept my apologies for our appointment coordinator not making sure the part was available for the repair of your vehicle. This shouldn’t have happened and will be discussed with my staff in the parts and service departments. If you would like to discuss this further with me please reach out to me at the dealership at your convenience. Thank you, John Kelty Parts & Service Director Lia Honda of Albany jkelty@liacars.com

Wes Harrington Is always helpful and I can get the service at times that are convenient for me. And they let me know if other things need taking care of but are fine if I do them at a later date. More

I will never return to Lia Honda. Mohommad was rude in every interaction, never called me back 4-5 hours after I dropped my car off for an inspection and oil change. He didn’t even kn More

Ms. Leigh, I'm sorry you had a poor experience with our new employee. We are continuing to work with him on improving his customer handling skills and the vehicle should have gotten through the shop quicker. In regard to you feeling you were given misinformation; I did look into this, and you were given correct information. The vehicle did fail the safety portion of the New York State Inspection, the State, not Lia Honda of Albany, does not offer a ten-day pass or sticker for this. Please see the attached from the NYS stating the limitation to obtain a ten-day extension. Inspection waivers: A vehicle that is required to have the OBDII inspection can qualify for a waiver (valid for 1 year) if the vehicle fails the OBDII inspection, but ultimately passes the safety inspection, the gas cap check (gas-powered vehicles only) and the visual inspection of the emissions control devices (gas-powered vehicles only), receives repairs that are related to the failure of the OBDII inspection, and the cost of the repairs is at least $450, or does not pass the OBDII inspection during a re-inspection. After the re-inspection, if the vehicle qualifies, the inspector can print a waiver form. Both you and the inspector must sign the waiver. The inspection station keeps the waiver and other related documents. The inspector then issues the inspection sticker for your vehicle valid for 1 year. To qualify you must have the inspection report that shows the failure from the initial New York State registered inspection station. The inspection report for the re-inspection must show that your vehicle failed the OBDII test, but that your vehicle passed the safety inspection, the gas cap check (gas-powered vehicles only), and the visual inspection of the emissions control devices (gas-powered vehicles only). The emissions control system of your vehicle must be intact, and must not show any evidence of tampering (gas-powered vehicles only). You must have work orders and receipts that prove that repairs related to the vehicle emissions system were completed at a NY State-registered repair shop, or at an out-of-state repair shop. The work orders and the receipts must document that the cost of the repairs, parts, labor, and related sales tax was at least $450. If you complete the repairs yourself, the calculation of the cost of the repairs includes only the cost of the parts that were used and does not include your labor. How do I get a 10-day extension of my current inspection? You can receive inspection receipt that includes a 10-day extension if the previous inspection was expired at the time of the inspection, or your vehicle passed all parts of the inspection except the test of the OBDII readiness monitors You cannot get more than one extension from the DMV. If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to contact me. Thank you, John Kelty Parts & Service Director Lia Honda of Albany jkelty@liacars.com
