Check engine light
Raquel M.

DO NOT BUY HERE! SOLD ME A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. Poway Honda is supposed to be a reputable business. I purchased a 2023 Chevrolet Suburban Premier Duramax with 83,927 miles on Tuesday 5/19/26, with $20,000 down cash. Seven days later shortly after driving a little over 100 miles the check engine light populated at 94,142 miles. I have contacted Tyree Jones the Finance Manager who finalized the sale, with zero responses. I reached out to Elizabeth Rodriguez, who sold me the vehicle, and she's just pushing it off on her managers. The following morning I took the vehicle down to my local Chevrolet Service Center to be diagnosed. Per GM the Suburban purchased a week ago needs the following replaced: Second Catalytic converter without filter, gasket, clamp, nuts, seal. Greg a manager I got on the phone on Thursday 5/28/26 was extremely rude didn't offer an apology on the current issue with the vehicle. He stated " You're a consumer in California, you are a liable as soon as you drive off the lot". I asked for the diagnostics report he stated they ran when Poway Honda purchased the vehicle and he said," We'll try and get that over to you, you should have received it at the time of purchase" which I did not and I am still waiting for them to send me that report. Reputable auto dealers do right by their consumers, Poway Honda does not.

Just bought a "new to us" Odyssey minivan, and we drove all the way from LA to Poway Honda. We had a great experience from start to finish. They gave us a great deal on the Odyssey and a fair amount for our trade-in. No car-buying process is ever really quick, but this was one of the fastest and easiest experiences we've had. Erica was our sales representative and was fantastic throughout the process--even answering a text from me late in the day. Greg handled most of the deal and was friendly, straightforward, and easy to work with. Lastly, Tyree was our finance person. He was quick, efficient, and did a great job explaining all the paperwork while making sure everything was completed to our satisfaction. We drove the Odyssey all the way back to LA in 90+ degree heat with the AC blasting, and it didn't miss a beat. Overall, a great experience with Poway Honda, and I'd definitely recommend them.

The metal protector came off

I know dealerships often overcharge, but I never imagined that fixing an exhaust system issue could endanger my family. My ordeal began in May when I took our Odyssey to Poway Honda for a P0430 error code. At the time, the catalytic converter was still under Honda's 8-year warranty. The dealership only told me the fuel injectors were fine and performed a software update, without addressing the real cause of the issue. They also claimed the coolant level was low and quoted me several hundred dollars for a refill. Skeptical, I checked the coolant myself at home--it was perfectly fine. Given my past experiences, I wasn't surprised by their actions. Fast forward to November, I returned to Poway Honda for the same error code. This time, they identified a catalytic converter issue, but by then, my vehicle was no longer under warranty. They replaced the converter on December 6, 2025, and I picked up the car on December 8. Four days later, during a family camping trip, we heard a loud noise from underneath the car, just 100 miles after picking it up. The metal protector had come loose! (See attached picture.) The mechanic either used the wrong parts for the three front holes or he didn't fasten them tightly enough. A kind stranger helped us remove the protector completely. This wasn't just unprofessional; it was downright unsafe. We were in a desert area with miles of roads lacking adequate shoulders--mostly narrow, unpaved, and uneven. In such conditions, pulling over upon hearing a loud noise could lead to further damage. The detached protector could act like a shovel, displacing dust and rocks, and potentially damaging the vehicle's undercarriage, leaving us stranded with the vehicle partly on the road due to narrow shoulders. We would have faced a wait of hours, if not overnight, for a tow truck--with no cell reception in the area. We were incredibly lucky. The incident occurred near a small community where we found a safe spot and received help from a local with tools. Had this happened 10 seconds earlier or later, the outcome could have been drastically different. With two kids in the car, I can't imagine what we would have done if we were stuck in the middle of nowhere waiting for help. When I confronted Poway Honda about this, they claimed that plastic clips are Honda standard--something I found hard to believe given the original washer marks and online videos I've seen. They also denied removing the protector, despite the service video clearly showing it was removed. With all this misinformation and shoddy work, my trust in their service is shattered. I'm genuinely worried about letting them service my car again. If you're considering getting service here, do yourself a favor and think twice. Your vehicle's safety--and your peace of mind--are worth it.

After I cleaned the wheels

Arlene was my sales person. She did a nice job. She's still fairly new to the car business about a year into it. I had 20 years in the car business, so I'm not a normal buyer. Ryan the finance manager took care of that part, did a good job, I had my own financing so it wasn't really an issue for me. The whole experience wasn't that bad, but they could've done a lot more to make the Ford F150. I bought more presentable. There was even dirt on the floor of the cab, and dirt and debris in the bed of the pick up. The whole experience wasn't terrible and Arlene was a good sales person, I wasn't buying a new car, but I don't expect a used vehicle to look as dirty and is unkempt as it looked when I got mine delivered at the dealership. Overall, just an average experience. If you wanna buy a car here, ask for Arlene, she'll take good care of you.

Rhodel!! He was so nice and made the whole process so easy. Thank you for taking care of me and all my car needs!

A+ Autocare is the real deal…read more Outstanding customer service, fair and honest pricing, and excellent communication every time. In an industry where it can sometimes be difficult to know who you can trust, A+ Autocare has earned ours completely. They are professional, knowledgeable, straightforward, and genuinely seem to care about their customers and their vehicles. Being family-owned makes the experience even better. They take the time to explain what your car needs, what it doesn't need, and why, without ever making you feel pressured. A+ Autocare is truly a Poway institution. We used to live much closer, but even after moving farther away, we are still willing to make the drive to Poway because we know our cars are going to be taken care of the right way. If you're looking for a mechanic you can actually trust, go to A+ Autocare. You'll be glad you did.

I was referred to this auto shop by a neighbor and so glad I was. The staff was wonderful and very…read moreeasy to talk to when going over recommendations of additional repairs. Also I like their no haggle approach when going over the additional recommendations for service after they do their complimentary inspection. . I called to get a quote for an AC service and flush and they were so much cheaper than the dealership and nearby shops. Very easy to make an appointment and they give you a discount if you're a AAA member. They also provide a ride back home if you live nearby. Will definitely be back for other car repairs when needed.
