I have been a Honda owner (and lover) since 1995. I'm highly disappointed in Honda, Russ Darrrow and the service manager. December 21, 2021 I purchased genuine Honda parts for a brake/rotor replaceme I'm highly disappointed in Honda, Russ Darrrow and the service manager. December 21, 2021 I purchased genuine Honda parts for a brake/rotor replacement. The parts come with a 12 month manufacturers warranty. I have NEVER had problems with my OEM parts, NEVER. This set of brakes and rotors failed due to rust in less than 8 months of daily use. Russ Darrow had mileage at install and mileage when I brought the 2017 Civic Si in for vibration and soft pedal feel. The advisor admitted that this shouldn't be but his hands are tied because Honda won't warranty rust...the rust is a defect. The car hasn't been sitting, as proven by the mileage, the parts are DEFECTIVE. Instead of the service department advocating for me, the customer, they wanted me to pay for another complete brake/rotor replacement in less than 9 months. Instead of Russ Darrow realizing the defective parts they took the easy route and declined without calling the Honda representative. I have contacted Honda, we will see what happens. I have filed a report with NHTSA in regards to the safety issue with the brakes that Russ Darrow and the service manager seem apathetic. I won't be back. I wont buy OEM parts if Honda fails to stand behind them. More

We had a horrible experience at other Honda dealers, that didn’t care about our blended family or about health precautions with Covid. This was the dealer that took the time to care and ensure we got exactly didn’t care about our blended family or about health precautions with Covid. This was the dealer that took the time to care and ensure we got exactly what we wanted. They understood our budget and what we asked for and couldn’t do. I applaud Russ Darrow Honda for ensuring their staff is diverse and reflective of their communities. Black Excellence is found at Russ Darrow Honda. Stan was lovely, we thank him for his service in the military as well. He was kind, patient, and was speedy when we needed to get the car that day. We’d recommend them to anyone, and will be back in the future. More

This was the worst service experience I ever had and that includes the time the AMC dealer on Green Bay and Hampton told me my 1975 Gremlin was dead! I bought a 2004 Odyssey from a friend for $1500 after includes the time the AMC dealer on Green Bay and Hampton told me my 1975 Gremlin was dead! I bought a 2004 Odyssey from a friend for $1500 after getting a $1500 appraisal from CarMax. I knew the car had been expertly maintained by some of the best mechanics in Racine. I had planned to take it to Wilde for an inspection just to make sure everything was ok. The car only got 10 miles per gallon and had 170,000 miles on it but it had real power and I could go camping for weeks if I just stowed the seats. The guy who taught me most of what I know about cars told me I’d be better off going to Darrow so I took his advice. I ordered a safety inspection to get the lay of the land. Makes sense. Right? The completely earnest junior service tech told me the car was overdue for its 100,000 maintenance. I told him I only had two grand in my checking account so there were limits on what we’d be able accomplish that day. I told him I had time and that I’d camp out and use his WiFi while his mechanic did his thing. I was prepared to wait all day to get a proper assessment of the car”s health and to take care of any urgent maintenance. He came back after a couple hours to share that one of the tie rods needed to be replaced. I ok’d that. He also said the water pump and the fuel pump should be replaced. I OKed that too. He came back after another hour to tell me the service required the left front wheel to be removed and asked me where the lug lock was. I had no idea! I should have left at this point!! I told him to wrap it up for the day and I’d come back another time. Then he brought me the bill. I just bought a $700 tuneup, three wiper blades for $58 each and $500 worth of suspension parts I might have needed. The bill was $2300 and it contained pumps that couldn’t be installed that day. I reminded him that my limit for the day was $2,000 and he was gracious enough to knock a little off the bill but he still wanted $2100 then and there. He wanted even more money for things that were never mentioned on the inspection report. He wanted me to come back the next day for more of the same. I NEVER went back to finish the service. I went back the next day to talk to the service manager and to pick up a $35 mirror that had to be ordered. It was Just the stinkin’ mirror I wanted at this point. The service manager assured me that all of the service was needed and it was not really their place to decide if wipers were more or less important than tie rods. He wasn’t going to adjust the bill. He apologized to me that his service assistant was a little green but that’s just the way it was. I felt like Arlo Guthrie in Alices Restaurant when the judge walks in with the seeing-eye dog and it is clearly a case of American Blind Justice! I had just received the biggest WALL JOB in history. They parked my car out back next to the wall all day and then gave me a bill. A month later I finally went to Wilde, like I should have in the first place. They took the Odyssey as a trade in on a 2008 Honda Pilot. They were asking $10,000 but sold it to me for $6000. It has been my dream car ever since! The universe is very seldom as kind as it has been to me this time around. More

Working Together I've recently had a A+ five star customer service experience unlike any before. My truck, a Chevrolet Silverado was purchased used from Russ Darrow Ho I've recently had a A+ five star customer service experience unlike any before. My truck, a Chevrolet Silverado was purchased used from Russ Darrow Honda, it needed a new door hinge. Service replaced the hinge but because it was a Chevy; the body shop had a hard time getting it 100% right. Greg the service manager and George the general manager worked together to make sure it was 100% and that I was happy with the repair. They asked me to take it to a local body repair shop which had more experience working on trucks like mine. The door was fixed and they picked up the bill. Customer service is no longer an option in this highly competitive environment. Dealerships need happy customers that will tell others just how great a job the dealer did before,during and after the sale. Greg, George and the Russ Darrow team is focused on their customers. More
