Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m very sorry to hear about the frustration you encountered during your visit — that is not the experience we want for any customer. You’re absolutely right that every service visit should begin with acknowledging the customer and evaluating the vehicle before discussing recommendations. I regret that this was not your experience and understand how that would raise concerns about transparency. I also understand your frustration regarding the diagnostic fee and the lack of shared records between Honda dealerships, and I apologize that this was not communicated more clearly. Service recommendations and pricing should always be explained with clarity, context, and without pressure. Your feedback regarding how these items were presented is taken seriously, and I will be reviewing this internally to ensure our approach remains customer-focused and respectful. I appreciate you bringing these concerns to my attention and would welcome the opportunity to review your visit in more detail. Please feel free to contact me directly at rvanhart@brandonhonda.com or 813-664-1234. Sincerely, Rachel Van Hart Director Fixed Operations Brandon Honda rvanhart@brandonhonda.com 813-664-1234

They add an additional 3% to your bill if you use a charge card to pay the bill and do not warn you about the charge. Instead they say it is posted but it must be in very fine print because I spent 8 h More

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustration regarding the credit card surcharge. While the 3% charge is posted in multiple areas within the dealership, we realize it may not always be immediately noticeable during a long visit. I’ll ensure our team continues to look for ways to make this information more visible for all our customers. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will use it as an opportunity to improve the experience moving forward.
