Unless you enjoy needlessly throwing money away, DO NOT DO BUSINESS with these people, they will try to rip you off at every turn!!! I had a windshield wiper malfunction with my Honda Civic. Went there, they looked at the car, told me I would need a wiper assembly to fix the problem, then ordered one for me because they didn't have one in stock. In the time between them ordering the part, and the part coming in a few days later, I had called to see how much the labor would be (because I had forgotten how much they said it would be when I was there). I then had the displeasure of speaking with a rude jackass named Matt, who told me it would take 90 min. to take apart the steering column to install it, making the charge for labor $156.00. I then searched on YouTube to see if I could install it myself, found what I was looking for, then was able to install it myself after the part came in. The mind-blowing thing is THEY LIED ABOUT THE TIME IT WOULD TAKE TO INSTALL IT (saying it would take 90 min), BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO DO IT MYSELF-----ME, A GUY WHO HAS NEVER-EVER WORKED ON A CAR BEFORE IN MY LIFE-----IN LESS THAN 20 MIN!!!!!
Ohhh, but the fun doesn't end there, because after I installed it, IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM---Meaning that one of their service technicians (Michael) misdiagnosed the problem. So I called and spoke with the parts manager (Jerry, who was also rude), and told him what happened. He said electronic parts were non-refundable, and did not want to give me a discount for the price of the part if I would bring the car back in to see what the REAL problem was and have it fixed. Only after pressing the issue by me informing him multiple times that I shouldn't have to pay for a part that one of Crown Honda's employees erronously told me that I needed, he finally RELUCTANTLY and RUDELY agreed to give me a credit for the price of part if I would bring the car back in to have the real problem addressed. I'd understand not being compensated for the price of the part if I was the one that said I needed it, but this was one of there supposedly competent employees saying that I needed it.
In conclusion, I went back to Crown Honda, waited for a few hours for them to fix the real problem (a "Bottom Cover Assembly" installation was what was really needed). I was charged $164.44 (after the discount for the price of the wiper assembly that I didn't really need). Yes, I probably could have done more research on this one as well, and MAYBE would be able to do it myself, but I was so mentally exhaused over the whole ordeal, I just wanted to get it out of the way, and be done with it. FURTHERMORE, Jerry and Matt absolutely had NO REASON to be rude with me over the phone, because I was nothing but kind and polite to them the whole entire time. And guess what, I was planning on getting myself another Honda within the next year before this all happened, but THANKS TO THE INCOMPETENCE, DISHONESTY, AND RUDENESS OF THEIR STAFF, THAT ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN NOW!!! I'll purchase another vehicle somewhere else, and share my story with as many people as I can. :) read more
