Wolfchase, your service department failed the test with me. I have owned two Honda CRV's (including the one I drive) which were purchased at Wolfchase. Time was when Wolfchase employed some reasonably smart folks in the service department. From my visit there today, I could only conclude that they're now hiring bimbos off the street.
First of all, both of my low beam headlights were out. I turned them on to show the gal, but the poor soul could not even tell whether they were on or off. She had to go get another person to look for her. Since they were out (which I knew), I requested to have them replaced. She smarted off to me that it would be up to the technician to determine if they needed to be. SO RIGHT HERE --- you have too stupid people working for you. Duh! It only stands to reason that, if they're out, they need to be replaced without anyone having to make that determination. By the way, see my notes below as to WHY one of them was out.
The next issue was that none of the cigarette adapters were working, and I use those to charge my cell phone. While I am aware that those adapters may not work for various reasons, my first guess would be to look at the fuses. That's what anyone's first guess might be. But, by then, I had run the two females off and had a male come to help me. About the adapters, he said that would take a while to determine and cost me some $100 plus dollars to diagnose. DUH!~!!! As I said, let's look first at the fuses, because it's pretty likely that a 50 cent fuse will cure the problem. It was obvious that he wanted to scam me for all the money he could get out of me.
I then went inside and asked to see the manager of the service department, whose name is Abdul Jones. Bless his heart, he wasn't quite through with his lunch yet, so he advised that it would be a little while yet before he could see me. I bet he's never missed a lunch or thought that, perhaps, a distressed customer might be just a little bit more important to his business than feeding his belly. I bet, had I given the message that I wanted to see him about buying a new car, his lunch would have very quickly become totally unimportant.
After all this, I told them I knew someone who could look at the car very quickly and fix the headlamps and determine if there was an adapter fuse blown. I then took it to Uncle Dave's who had me out of there in an hour. And, lo and behold, the fuse was, indeed, blown. As for the head lamps, one of them was unplugged. Guess who the last one was to work on that headlamp? Yep - Wolfchase Honda. I've been driving around on high beam ever since Wolfchase last worked on that headlamp because the low beam wasn't working after they "replaced" it.
So, Mr. Jones and Wolfchase, your reputation with me just sank to a bottom today. I definitely will buy another Honda when I replace my car, but there are many Honda dealerships all around, so I will not have to go to Wolfchase to get such car. As for automotive repair, there's plenty of good mechanics in Memphis who have enough sense to first check the fuse, rather than try to drum me up some $100 plus dollar bill just to look at it. I'd say you screwed up. Get rid of those idiots who are working over there and hire someone who knows the different in their little toe and their elbow.
Today's experience quite reminded me of one some time ago when I sat in the waiting room while my car's oil was being changed. The techs began coming in and telling every customer in there that their car battery was tested and about to go out. Some of the fools fell for it. When it came my turn, I laughed in the guy's face and told him that what was going out was his tester - not people's car batteries. I told him I'd let him know when I had to replace it. That didn't happen for another 3 years.
Wolfchase and Mr. Abdul Jones ---- where is your pride, your honesty, your ethics? Have you none? Shame on you. I can put my head on my pillow at night and sleep peacefully, because I know I did not cheat anyone on any given day. Can you do the same? read more
