It had a damaged bumper and missing shift knob so I could not drive it home the same day. I was also promised accessories. Dealer: It will take a week and half or two weeks max to finish, I have already ordered the bumper, just need to paint it and attach it. (After a week and half) Dealer: The bumper hasn't arrived yet so more time is needed. (After a week) Dealer: Some medical emergency surgery came, shop closed. (Another week) Dealer: The bumper has arrived but company sent unpainted so I need to paint it.(this was the deal all along) (After a week and taking a bus all the way to his place) Dealer: The car is in body shop, the body shop is taking long.(came here for nothing, he didn't say this over text) (After a few days and again going to his place) Dealer: The car is ready but I haven't gone to licensing place to get the papers ready. (Another week) Dealer: The car is here but let the paint dry over night.(one more day) (Next Day, got the car) Me: why didn't you attach the front number plate to bumper and where is the shift knob and accessories ? Dealer: the paint is new so it will crack if I put the plate. I'll order the shift knob, it will come next week. I will give you accessories with it.(temporary shift knob with tape and metal ball) (After a week) Dealer: The delivery hasn't arrived yet, it will come in a few days. (After a few days and driving to his place) Dealer: The delivery has arrived at fedx place but I need to go pick it up. Me(frustrated): okay, i'll wait here, you go pick up the knob. Dealer: It's actually in Ajax not local fedx.(what kind of delivery is that ?) Me: At least give me the other accessories... Dealer: I'll give you those with the knob together. (After each week of asking, He stopped replying to my texts) (After a month, today I went there) Dealer: the knob and accessories are in my Toronto shop which is closed due to Coronavirus (COVID-19). It will open after everything settles down. (How convenient!!! Giving up hope! Also I was told the price for licensing will be 80-200 dollars, charged me 250 dollars. He said he won't charge me for Gas like other dealers but in the end didn't fill me tank ) Product for Price Value : 5 stars Dealer Excuse Creativity: 5 stars Go Get your own car and a cool story like this one.

So we had a fun experience…read more.. 2020 Tundra purchased from Georgian GM back in June of 2024. Sooooo the only good part was the salesman, he was eager to help, his name was Jonathan. He was friendly. So I drive an hour and a half to look at this truck, in the ad damage on the rear bumper was NOT listed, the tires were also completely bald and DOT was older than 5 years. No big deal, we discussed, they knocked off $1500 from the price of the truck, and proceeded to move forward. I had tires for that extra truck at home which were in great shape to pass safety. The ONLY thing I asked of them was obviously truck needs to be certified/safetied, and for it to pass it needed an alignment REALLY badly. Hard shake and clearly driving sideways on the highway. I picked up the truck one day in the late afternoon, first things first the truck is dirty. It had stains everywhere, so they brought it back in the had to wiped down again. Then I leave the dealership. I drove for about 15 minutes before getting on the highway, I noticed the steering was a little off but I didn't overthink it. I get onto the highway, the truck at EXACTLY 100km/h would struggle to hold the lane that's how bad the alignment was. I immediately called them and explained what was going on, they said bring it to any GM dealer near me and they will reimburse. I take it to Royfoss in Thornhill, they took videos and pictures proving the work done, showing the alignment was clearly far out of spec, and not only that, there was an oil leak they didn't tell me about!! To make this all better, about one month later, I only drove maybe 400-500km in the month because I was waiting for the oil leak to be diagnosed (the oil filter housing was cracked, which Georgian GM claimed they did an oil change before I picked it up). All of a sudden I press the brakes and there's a strong vibration in the steering wheel. The dealership 'claimed' it had new brakes, it was not. The pads were almost new, and the front rotors were completely dry rotted, and rusted. I still have those rotors in my garage, with rust marks and dry rotting all over. Next, I get the front brakes done, then a shop recommends getting an inspection done because something was leaking on the back end... my rear differential was leaking, and my transfer case was also leaking... but it had stopped by that point. After all this, one thing I never tried until they brought it to the shop for the inspection, the parking brake didn't work... For the record, I never even got a reimbursement for the alignment which came out to $300, because the tie rods were seized... video proof done by Royfoss Thornhill. Didn't know a bad allignment, dry rotted brakes, an inoperative parking brake, and a leaking differential can still pass a safety inspection? All in all, horrible experience at this dealership. I understand buying a used car is you buy it the way it is, however if you sell a car safety certified, do a proper inspection.

Towed to dealership where they started unauthorized repairs on unrelated system, and another new battery was ordered. 3 weeks later the second new battery was installed and the car was returned once again to me (fully charged). This time the car drove for 2 weeks before refusing to move again. Returned to dealer a third time. This time the problem was found to be a body module software update which they charged me for. I was offered compensation for fuel which I'm still waiting for as well. Discussing with GM corporate and still awaiting an explanation from the shop foreman. Oh and the $50 to clean the loaner was a further slap in the face. Stay away from this stealership.

I discovered that there are vehicle updates which require downloading & installation. Also, my free OnStar expired August 21/2025, which meant I had to subscribe in order to get what is required, AND pay for data in order for the car to have a "hotspot". All totalled, it was estimated that it would cost me $45.19 per month! Really????!!!! It shouldn't cost me another $45.19/month after I paid in full for a new car. I attended the Service Dept. to enquire about these "updates & downloads"., & was told that it's an OnStar matter. No it is not! Apparently, if a person has difficulty downloading or installing the updates, it can be done at a dealer!! Well, if I wanted a computer I would have purchased one. I sent a txt message on Friday afternoon, but didn't receive a reply. I sent yet another text & again no reply. I can't state strongly enough at how disappointed I am with information not provided to me. I have since cancelled the OnStar, keeping the basic which I'm entitled to for 8 years., & also had OnStar cancel the data. No way on this earth do I want wi-fi capability.

I've given Barrie Honda multiple chances to get it right, but they have consistently failed. I…read moresuggest if you are out of warranty definetly go anywhere else in town or if you can make the trip to the dealer in Midland, my two and only experiances resulted in major incidents: Financial Disregard: I was charged a $200 'diagnostic fee' for an intermittent engine light. They found nothing, fixed nothing, and essentially told me to come back later--despite already taking my money. When the light returned, their technician wasn't even available for days and the issue was never resolved. Gross Misdiagnosis: They previously quoted me $300 to replace a 'cracked' washer fluid reservoir, claiming it was 'collision damage' not covered by warranty. I took the car to another dealership for a second opinion; they discovered the reservoir was perfectly fine. The leak was actually a loose sensor--a simple warranty fix. Abysmal Turnaround: It took nearly three months (June to September) for them to even schedule a follow-up for minor parts, whereas another Honda dealer had parts ready in two days. Management (Mr. Lamberti) has been made aware of these failures and the documentation from other dealerships proving their errors, yet there has been no meaningful follow-up. Save your time and money--go to a dealership that actually knows how to pick up a wrench and values its customers."

I went to my scheduled oil change appointment at Barrie Honda on 21 Feb 2026. The service itself…read morewas excellent, but I'm disappointed with the lack of transparency when I bought my car. I purchased it in September, and after only about five months I was told my transmission and brake fluids were already due. Before buying the vehicle, I was assured that all necessary fluids and checks would be completed since it was second-hand. For safety, I agreed to the service, but it's frustrating to deal with this so soon after purchase. While the service staff were great, this experience has lowered my confidence in Barrie Honda, and I don't feel comfortable recommending them due to this lack of clarity.

My daughter bought her first car here and is sorry she did. We bought it certified, but have had…read moreseveral problems in the 2 months she's owned it. First, a power window dropped into the door two days after we picked up the car. Nick fixed that for us, no charge, and we were happy with that. Then when we took the car for an oil change at our friend's garage, our friend said the car should never have passed certification because both lower ball joints were severely worn and the car was not safe. This time, Nick insisted on the phone that the car never made any knocking sounds during our test drive, and my daughter must have hit something to cause the damage. When asked how much the repairs would cost, Nick said he'd ask his mechanic, then never called us back. Now we are trying to have the a/c recharged, and the garage can't touch it because the Freon is 95% contaminated with an incorrect product, and must be removed and disposed of according to the county's hazardous waste laws. Edited to add: Now the check engine light and the throttle warning light have come on, AND the heat is not working in the car. It is a total piece of unreliable junk. Never again will we buy from Byron Graham Motors!

Disappointing Experience at Barrie VW - Would Not Recommend…read more I've had multiple disappointing experiences with Barrie Volkswagen, and after giving them several chances, it's clear that poor communication and a lack of accountability are recurring issues here. Most recently, I dropped my car off for a scheduled service appointment at 7:40 AM and placed the keys in the drop box, as their Google listing shows they open at 8:00 AM. What isn't made clear is that the service department actually opens at 7:30 AM -- a detail you only find by navigating through their website and clicking into the service section. By 1:00 PM, I still hadn't received any updates, so I called to ask about the status of my car. I was told that the keys were still in the drop box and that my vehicle hadn't even been looked at because they had already collected keys at 7:30. Since mine was dropped at 7:40, it was simply missed. When I asked why no one contacted me to let me know I'd missed the appointment, I was told, "We don't make missed appointment calls." Their only solution at that point was to look at the car immediately -- over five hours late -- with no accountability for the communication breakdown. Frustrated, I called the service manager to explain the situation and shared that my husband and I have had multiple experiences where the customer service has been terrible. Her response? "That's not a fair statement." There was no apology, no ownership, and no effort to understand my perspective. Instead of addressing the pattern of poor service, she dismissed my concerns outright. It was clear that customer feedback is not valued, and that service recovery is non-existent. In a previous visit, I brought my car in due to abnormal noises. I was offered a service, but it was not clearly explained, so I declined it. A few days later, I received a request for feedback, and I replied honestly -- stating that I had lost trust in their recommendations. I pointed out that the technician's own inspection video showed my brake pads were at 8mm and 9mm, which clearly did not require replacement. Only after I shared this feedback did someone respond with a long, detailed message clarifying that the service was not a brake replacement -- information that should have been communicated during the appointment, not after the fact in response to criticism. It's also worth noting that my vehicle is just over one year old with only 15,000 km, and I've already had to bring it in multiple times. That includes a recall, a reverse camera that stopped working after unrelated service, and most recently, the need to replace two wheel bearings. If this is any indication of how much maintenance this car is going to need, I'm thankful it's a lease -- and I'll be glad to hand it back at the end of the term. In short: Communication is inconsistent and unclear Customer feedback is not taken seriously Accountability is lacking And concerns are dismissed rather than addressed After several attempts to give Barrie VW the benefit of the doubt, I've lost trust in their ability to provide reliable, transparent, and respectful service. If you value professionalism and customer care, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.
