I came to this dealer both because they had the precise used car I was interested in, and their…read morereviews on various social media sites were all positive. The car business is a rough and tumble world and it is rare to find a dealership that gets largely positive reviews. I am now going to add to their positive tally. Upon my first call I spoke with a Mr. Tim Hernandez. He was courteous and willing to answer all of my questions. I am a car guy and have little patience for your " typical " car salesmen. Lucky for all Tim was not " typical ". He shared with me that the particular car I was shopping was likely the cleanest car in his inventory. The CarFax was very detailed and offered on the Thayer Honda site for all to see. Fast forward past the many phone calls to Tim asking additional questions to the point where we committed to driving the two hours from our home in Michigan to Bowling Green, Ohio. We finally arrive and the car is precisely as told to me over the phone. For a car from 2005 it was very clean. I have detailed dozens of cars myself and I know their detail guy did a very good job. Still, this car went past a car that spent a day in the spa. This car was well looked after by the previous owners. My wife drives the car and likes it. We agree to buy it. We did the paperwork with very little fuss and head back to Michigan. Two days later I drive the car for the 1st time and immediately observe the clutch action is just not right. I have literally owned hundreds of cars...dozens of them with manual transmissions ( we wanted this CRV specifically because it was a manual transmission ) and there was something quite wonky with the pedal pressure and the noise it was making. I research the issue online and discover this is a common problem with this generation of both the Civic and the CRV ( built on the same chassis ) and I find out their was a service bulletin issued for this very issue. I figure I am on the hook for the repair bill which would likely be about $500 dollars for the 90 minutes to fix it plus parts. I was kicking myself for not driving it myself prior to having my wife drive it home. Three days later Tim Hernandez writes to me to see if I am enjoying the car. I write back that I am " mostly " and then describe the issue with the clutch pedal. You might want to sit down for this next part of the story. Tim Hernandez writes back to me and invites me to come back to Thayer Honda and the dealership will gladly repair the problem as per the Honda service advisory. Do you understand the significance of this gesture? The car was bought AS-IS. No warranty was offered or suggested. AS-IS as in...you are out of luck. NOPE....Thayer Honda invites me back so they can make it right. Super impressed barely covers it. This speaks volumes about both the integrity of Tim Hernandez, and also of the management and ownership at Thayer Honda. I cannot recall in my 45 years of buying cars for friends and family EVER having a dealer offer to do a repair on a used car after you drive it off the lot. Yes they saved me the grief and expense of a few hundred dollars...but more importantly they helped restore a bit of my faith in the automobile business. Thank you Thayer Honda for doing what you did.

In fact, they refuse to look at the sheet from the other dealership. Assuming it was fine I continued on until Valvoline told me there was a leak.

After having been a loyal Thayer customer for years (up until this happened), when my dad died and…read moreleft me his 20 year old sports car, of course I took it to Thayer for detailing, an oil change, adjusting a rocker panel, and replacing the window motor on the passenger side. The first time I got it back, the rocker panel was not fixed (later they explained why, and that was fine). It was not properly detailed, windows not clean and the whole back of the car was never even vacuumed. My husband pointed this out to the service manager, who did not care, offer to fix it, etc. They also lost the driver's floormat (it was there when I dropped it off, but not when I picked it up). Service manager said they hang them up on the wall to clean them, then put it back in. Basically, you are SOL. Again, didn't care, very rude and condescending. So I'll be paying to replace that. Also, the driver's door panel around the handle was loose when we picked it up, my husband had to tighten the screw. That's when we noticed the over an inch long crack on the inside of the driver's door by the window. Service manager insisted they never touched that door, of course. Obviously, it appeared that someone perhaps removed that door panel to see how it went in on the passenger side and broke it putting it back together. When we brought the car back the second time, my husband pointed it out to the service manager. Nope, they never touched the door, was the only response we got. I have been in and around that car for 20 years, and there was never a crack there before it went to Thayer. So, I'll be paying to replace that, as well. Also, now the "service engine soon" light is on, so whatever they did during the process of the oil change, I'll be paying to fix that, too. So disgusted, and have never had a "service manager" treat me so poorly, both over the phone, and in person. Up until this all transpired, I would have given them a glowing review.

However, after today's visit I realize it's just how the dealership is. The staff in the service department is rude and lacks any sort of customer service skills.

When making my appointment the service manager, James, was not only extremely rude but incredibly condensing. The ONLY reason I kept appointment is because I needed an oil change and I only take my vehicle to a dealership for service. Needless to say, I will be going to another dealership that treats their customers with respect and treats them as a human being rather than dollar signs.

I called Halleck Auto Sales on 2-26-15 to inquire about a 2014 Honda CR-V that they had for sale…read more During this lengthy call, I was told repeatedly that this vehicle was indistinguishable from new. I drove over 30 miles that day to look at vehicle. I noticed that there were several pieces of loose or missing trim in the rear and some areas that looked like had been repainted. I asked the sales representative if this 2014 Honda CR-V had been wrecked and he said yes of course it has been wrecked. I elected to not test drive or purchase this vehicle. I decided to call Halleck Auto Sales during the trip back home to let them know that I felt like the fact that this obviously wrecked and repaired vehicle should not have been described to me over the phone as indistinguishable from new. During this call, the Halleck sales representative called me and my mother every name under the sun and kept asking me to come back. When I asked "Why?", he told me that "he wanted to punch me in the face and knock my teeth out" REALLY - Because he misrepresented the condition of a car and I called him out over it?
