I read poor reviews and still chose to buy a car at Boch Honda and regret it. I figured for the amount of cars they sell, it's probably not usual. However, I would not recommend them, despite efforts of the GM to make up for this situation. I really like the car I purchased there, it's exactly what I wanted, however since I purchased it, it has spent more time at the dealership than in my driveway.
I sold my previous car in WA before a cross country move and bought a 2020 Pre-owned Honda HRV on Sunday 8/13/23 and was told it would likely be ready by Wednesday and my salesperson would call me. Because I had an out-of-state drivers license, registration may take longer, which I understood. Tuesday, I call and it's not registered. Thursday, I call and she says "I will find out and call you back." She did not call back. Friday, there is no answer for multiple phone calls. I call the dealership and get sent to the managers voicemail. After 4 hours of no response, I go to the dealership and I'm told it is my salespersons day off and they would find the manager. While waiting, another salesperson, Biff, looks up my account and contacts the registry person. He finds out they were just then taking my paperwork to the DMV. I am then told likely next Wednesday. I understand the dealership doesn't control what the registry does but I feel like the paperwork could have been submitted sooner.
Thursday, 12 days after purchase, I call my sales person who says I can come get the car. She did not call me once to update me and I only found out because I called her. I told her I would be there between 5-6p to pick it up.
I arrived at 530p, My sales person is not there, not answering her phone, and did not handoff for someone else to help me. The manager is looking for the car and trying to reach her. Eventually, he finds the keys and paperwork and walks me to the car. He states my sales person is bad at communication. I see the scratches still on the car that my salesperson said would be taken care of. My salesperson then arrives and says the scratches couldn't be buffed and I'd have to come back for them to be painted over. I was upset this wasn't addressed in the 12 days we were waiting for registration.
18 days after getting the car, I notice water under the dash after it rains. When it's wet, I have issues with the door lock sensors and locking/unlocking the doors. I make a service appointment and they diagnose a leaky seal on the windshield. I am told it could happen faster by going through insurance and reporting the windshield is cracked but not about the leak. Note, there is no crack and therefore I feel like this would be insurance fraud. The car is still under warranty and the work would be covered with approval from the sales manager. They then say the glass company won't be there until Monday. Which is not convenient for me to not have a car for 6 days but I have no other choice.
I had planned on getting the scratches fixed Thursday prior to the car going in for service. However, the service department has no involvement with that and my sales person did not respond to my texts, even though she suggested Thursday earlier in the week. Because of the complications in my experience, I am contacted by the Service Manager and the GM who said they make sure it taken care of.
Did not hear anything from my salesperson until Monday, an hour before I pick up my car after completed service, that scratch repair was not done and could I come back. I told her I don't have time and when I asked why it didn't happen on Thursday as planned, she said "they didn't do it and Friday it was too wet." I call the GM, who previously said he would make sure it was done, and he apologizes for not following up on it. He offers different solutions to make it happen, which I appreciate, but I cannot spend any more time dealing with this and honestly it's a used car, I bought it despite the scratches. The scratches aren't a dealbreaker but I was assured it would be taken care of multiple times by multiple people and they failed to do so. read more
