    On the morning of 3/4/26, I met with John H. Howard III, Honda's 'finest' service manager. I explained to Mr. John H. Howard III that I felt the service technicians had caused damage on the passenger door of my vehicle when they removed the dashboard to install a new ac system. Additionally, I was concerned about a hole on the seat and while we confirmed that there was no hole rather than a severe scratched up leather due to friction of some sort, John was arrogant and dismissive. He suggested that my claim was unwarranted and malicious. I was appalled by his unprofessional and presumptuous attitude as he furthered explained that there is no way the service technicians could have possibly caused said damage and that, since he could not explain how the damage was done, then it must have been my fault and I just never noticed it. I beg to differ. I've owned my vehicle since 2019 and I kinda know it inside/out and for Mr. John H. Howard III to suggest otherwise, is insulting. Please train your staff to be better qualified to interact with customers - especially those with authority. Kendall and everyone else were kind and caring but it only takes one person to ruin it for everyone and that's John H. Howard III. And by the way, there was a part of the ac system that the techs forgot to install which was left in the rear seat of the car. Mr. John H. Howard III never offered an apology or an explanation. He simply took the part and had the techs take my vehicle to reinstall it. What a guy!

    I was trying to buy a new car, I have gotten rear ended by drunk driver. Needed to replace my vehicle. Walked in to a local Honda dealer. They weren't willing to work with me. So I reached out to Honda in Carson. Jessica didn't hesitate to answer the call. She said she would give me the price I was looking for. She even gave me a discount on the vehicle. My wife and I are so happy with our purchase. Thank you so much Jessica and to all her crew who helped us out. -Gualberto Garcia

    Bad customer service. My mom and I popped in to actually trade in a vehicle. We parked and walked the lot. Nobody greeted or assisted us. There were several people being helped inside. No sales people outside the lot. Someone came outside but they were assisting a family. They didn't even greet us or offer to get someone to help. I also saw a girl who appeared to be an employee come out of the upstairs door. She looked out over the lot and didn't assist or get anyone. Definitely felt ignored...and I won't say what else I was thinking. I won't be back and I don't recommend. We add to drive 20 minutes away to Gardena to get help

    Appt. Date 8-6-25 R.O#565523 FIRST AND FOREMOST: Daniel Garcia, Service Writer is unprofessional, rude and to top it all off, unknowledgeable. Dropped vehicle off for a diagnostic ($220) with a small evap leak. Mr. Garcia claims the repair will be $440. Gas cap replacement & Labor. He let me know the cap was roughly $100, implying the labor to install the gas cap is $330?! SECONDLY: Picture Included. Labeling a repair as "Critical" implies that the vehicle is unsafe to operate, at risk of imminent failure, or likely to sustain further damage if not immediately addressed. In this case, the dealer recommended replacing the thermostat and fan switch for $811.67, citing only that the vehicle was "due for service" -- not that there was an actual failure, leak, or diagnostic trouble code (DTC) indicating a malfunction. If the thermostat or fan switch were truly failing, the vehicle would typically display one or more of the following symptoms: * Warning lights or DTCs (e.g., check engine light or cooling system fault code) * Overheating or inability to reach proper operating temperature * Coolant leaks or visible damage to components * Erratic temperature gauge readings The absence of these signs suggests that the parts are functioning as intended. Recommending immediate replacement under the label "Critical" without diagnostic evidence could be considered misleading or fraudulent behavior, as it pressures the customer into paying for unnecessary work. In automotive repair ethics, a "Critical" designation should be reserved for repairs required for safe operation or to prevent imminent damage -- not routine maintenance. This misclassification can be a tactic to inflate repair bills, undermining customer trust and potentially violating consumer protection laws related to deceptive trade practices. Daniel explained it "could" leak at some point. "Could" and then also referred to this as regular maintence. We paid for the diagnostic, and took the vehicle. Purchased a gas cap and saved $330 on the labor. Thanks Carson Honda, this dealership could use some serious training.

    My New CRV

    In August 2024, I purchased my 2025 CRV from this dealership. I came in with a trade in and not 100% sure which model I wanted. While at the dealership I test drove several different models until I found the CRV in the perfect color. My trade in went smoothly and I received a fair price for my vehicle and the sales team did not push add ons. My car was delivered washed and with a full tank of gas. The dealer also added a bow so I could take pics since the purchase was an early birthday gift for myself. Overall my purchasing experience was great and my ongoing relationship with the dealership for service (oil changes) has also been good.

    A bought a 2025 Civic a month ago and everything was swell. I asked several times for no add ins to the finance person. A month later I finally received my contract information and I noticed there was a 1650 charge to my contract for FIDELITY CAREFREE. I did not ask for this but according to my contract I did sign a section that said this was added. Yeah, it was my fault for not wanting to read everything because I already spent many hours at the dealership, but in good faith i signed everything knowing I didn't ask for anything on top of the car. Now, I have to spend time and go in person to the dealership to sign a document to cancel it. Not a good practice espcially since I was double adamant about no extras. Edit I tried to email the email address I was given but it did not work. Gary at finance helped me to remove the warranty and my account should be credited in a few weeks.

    Thanks Carson Honda!!!

    Does the dealer have to run my credit if I have my own financing?

    Nope. But be prepared to put up a fight over this with Carson Honda. Whatever you do, do not provide your social security number and do NOT sign the "Credit Application" that they claim to use to register your vehicle with the DMV.

    I used to work right down the street from Japanese Auto Center (JAC) since the early 2000s, but…read moretypically take my vehicle to the dealership for service. Looking back, that was a mistake. Recently, I needed to replace the evaporator core and expansion valve for my A/C, and the dealership quoted me almost twice what JAC did. Since it was such an expensive repair, I decided to give JAC a try, and I'm so glad I did. The first thing that impressed me was the size of the shop. They have multiple service bays, not just in the main area but in another section as well. More importantly, the customer service was outstanding. Whenever I called with a question, Kevin didn't have someone else relay the information--he got on the phone himself and kept me updated every step of the way. When the replacement part they received turned out to be defective, they handled it quickly and made it right without any hassle. Another thing I really appreciated was the complimentary rides to and from my home while my car was being repaired. Maria and Mario were both incredibly kind. Maria mentioned she had recently joined JAC after working as a parts driver for another company, and she had nothing but positive things to say about the people there, which spoke volumes to me. Then, over the weekend, while driving to Orange County and finally enjoying my cold A/C, I started hearing a strange wind noise coming from my convertible top. I thought maybe a seal had come loose, but when I got home and looked under the car, I discovered my engine splash shield had torn loose and was scraping the road. I called JAS right away, and they immediately contacted the parts department, ordered the replacement, and took care of it quickly. I want to thank the entire team. From Kevin, Roger, and Dan to Maria and Mario, everyone I dealt with was professional, honest, and genuinely helpful. It's hard to find a repair shop you can trust, but I can honestly say I trust JAC. They may not give your vehicle a courtesy wash before you leave, but if you're saving $$ is it really worth it? If you're looking for a great place to have your vehicle serviced, I highly recommend giving them a try.

They responded quickly, were courteous, and didn't try to tack on a diagnostic fee just to take a look. When I dropped off the car, the technician walked me through their process, starting with the bulbs before moving into any potential electrical issues (which I really appreciated.) It ended up being the simplest fix: both bulbs were burned out. They had everything replaced within a few hours. Fair pricing, clear communication, and no upselling. I'll definitely be back for future repairs. Side note- they have the cutest shop kitten. ‍

    I had been here once before and had a great experience, so when my car's AT light went on…read moreunexpectedly one night I called them first thing the next morning to see if they could get it in. They said they could and gave me a timeline for working on the vehicle that matched my needs. While I appreciate them getting me in on short notice, they consistently over-promised and under-delivered on when they would be able to work on my vehicle. They were able to diagnose a couple of leaks that they thought were the problem and sent me photos to show me what they were looking at. In the past when I've left my car at this shop for work they sent over a detailed estimate before starting the work, but this time I only received the verbal estimate over the phone. I drive an old car, which isn't worth much, and I did let the person know that I wasn't interested in investing more in repairs than the vehicle is worth. As it was, the two leaks were just over $1K to fix, and I OK'd the work to begin. After fixing the first two leaks, they then came back and told me there was a third leak, which would require a more major repair to the transmission and they would have to have their transmission person (who wasn't there that weekend) send me an estimate the next day. While I understand that it's plausible that the third leak wasn't something they could have originally diagnosed, it felt a bit weird that the photo they used to show me the leak was one of the original photos they had sent before starting any work. If the leak was visible in that photo, I'm unclear why they couldn't have diagnosed it earlier. The added cost of this additional repair definitely tips the scales of worth-it/not-worth-it to repair vs replace this car, so I wish I had had all the information before deciding to make the initial repairs. Unfortunately, despite stabilizing the ATF level, fixing the leaks did not resolve the transmission issue. On a smaller scale, they didn't check or top up the tire pressure, which most mechanics I've gone to have done as a courtesy when working on my vehicle. The day after I picked up my car the tire pressure light went on, and when I checked my tires all four of them had low pressure. It's a small thing, but especially when dealing with expensive mechanical items like cars, the small things matter a lot in creating a sense of security and trust with your mechanic. They did mention that they were under new management since the last time I had been in, which may account for the different experiences.
