Absolutely Terrible - Do NOT Trust Leith Honda Aberdeen!
If I could give this dealership ZERO stars, I absolutely would. My experience with Leith Honda Aberdeen was a complete disaster from start to finish. As an active duty service member with 10 years of service and a 7-year-old son, I've dealt with my fair share of stressful situations, but nothing compares to the frustration and incompetence I experienced at this dealership.
I took my Honda in for a turbocharger repair, planning to use my Endurance extended warranty to cover the cost of the repair. I was misled, treated poorly, and ultimately, the dealership acted like they couldn't care less about customer satisfaction or following the proper procedures.
The service agent, Kerry, seemed like he knew what he was doing at first. He assured me that my warranty was valid, that the parts for my car were covered, and that everything would go smoothly. I told him multiple times that I was using my warranty, and he even promised me that he would call ahead to get the proper authorization before doing any repairs. But what did he do? He completely ignored the process, went ahead and did the repairs without securing any prior authorization--a clear violation of the warranty contract, which explicitly states that no claims will be paid without prior authorization.
To make matters worse, they completed the repairs in one day, while I was stuck sitting in the shop waiting, then they proceeded to hold my car hostage for TWO WEEKS until they received payment. I repeatedly told them that I wasn't paying due to their negligence, but they didn't care. They just sat on my car, offering no communication, no updates, no solutions. It was like they were hoping I'd just give in and pay for their incompetence.
A few days later, I returned in person to speak with their service manager, Mark Posey, but once again was met with Kerry. Kerry told me that Mark wasn't available until four days later and then, incredibly, stated they would not release my vehicle until the payment was received, even though the mistake was clearly on their end. When Mark Posey finally called me after the four days had passed, he had the nerve to blame me for their mistake, saying it was my responsibility to contact them beforehand. After I explained the entire situation, he pretended to understand and then shifted the blame to my warranty company.
And here's where it gets even worse--during this time, they gave me a rental car, telling me it would be free, covered under my warranty. Once they realized the repair wasn't going to be covered, they rushed me to return the rental, knowing full well my car was still in their possession. And then they demanded that I pay for both the repair and the rental car--a double charge for something that wasn't even my fault. This dealership didn't take a single ounce of responsibility for their mistake, and they tried to blame me for their negligence.
In the end, after realizing they couldn't get over on me, they covered the cost of the repair. However, it was too little, too late. Their unprofessionalism, dishonesty, and poor customer service have left a bitter taste. I will never trust them again, and I strongly advise others to stay far, far away from this dealership. They are not worth your time or money. Go to a dealership that actually knows how to treat its customers and follows through on what they promise. read more
