STAY AWAY!!!!!
Gave a "1" (because it is the lowest I can give), but should be a '0' Rating! A horrible and expensive experience! A must read...Best part at the end. Mark, the Owner's quote..."I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOUR CAR IN MY GARAGE AGAIN...,"
I took my Honda accord to Mill Creek Motor (April) which says it specializes in Honda repair. My windows were sporadic and passenger side would not go up or down. Also the AC was not coming on and requested evaluation and possible repair.
Well, after eval I was told window motors were burned out, so I reluctantly gave permission to replace @ $350 each. Two months later (June 1st) windows start acting up again. I take the car back and ask if it can be corrected. I was told it appears to be a 'master switch' but not sure, and it would probably be another $200 to replace. Why could this switch issue not be detected in the first repair? It may have been the initial cause for window failure.
Also in the initial visit, I requested repair of AC which was not coming on. After evaluation they replaced a relay switch which got it going again. They also emptied the Freon, but I was told when I picked the car up that they could not inject dye to check for leaks because they did not have the proper tool, but they did refill with freon regardless of a potential leak and told me they would not guarantee the AC. Hummm I thought they were a Honda specialist? I paid $250 for the relay and freon fill up.
Two days after the windows started acting up, I had to take the car back again because the AC stopped working! So now when I take car back again I am told this car has lots of miles and many things can go wrong. After a brief digital evaluation I am told 'You are the first person in 30 years that has stumped me! I don't know what the problem is. They checked the freon pressure and said it was fine. I was offered another more specific evaluation at an additional cost to try and figure what was wrong, but I refused. I left frustrated a second time and $950 in the hole with two items which I thought were going to be repaired. So my only option was to take my Accord to a Dealer the next day to have it repaired.
This is the best part....I called back Mill Creek to tell them that while at the dealer they said the freon pressure was weak. (I was told by Mill Creek the day before it was fine). In the conversation I was respectful and as nice as I could be under the circumstances, but I asked if I brought the car back would they check for leaks again and refill with freon at no cost so I would not have the dealer charge me another $200. RESPONSE..."we not responsible", and refused any additional assistance. I said that a good and reputable business tries to make things right. Then I hear on the other end, "I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOUR CAR IN MY GARAGE AGAIN, NOT FOR BREAKS, OIL CHANGE, NOTHING" and click, they hung up the phone. Wow! Not the way you want to treat local customers.
Don't worry Mill Creek Motor, none of my family, friends, neighbors or anyone I can tell will come to your garage again. read more
