I bought a Honda 2018 CRV certified pre owned on May 2021. You figure you can't go wrong with a brand dealership. But I was dead wrong. The salesman accidentally was going to sell me a car that had accident without telling me anything. I know that he didn't know because he sells the new cars and I grabbed him to go across the street to thier used car lot. Every car I looked at he had no clue about it, he had to go inside to inquire information on that vehicle (which makes sense for a person that's not working in that area of the job). The salesman did a great job. I guess timing is everything, the next day I came back to Bay Ridge Honda and I bought CRV not the first one but one that was never involved in any accident. Because I came with a car I left the my new car at the outside of the dealership in the salesman spot and I would come the following day by public transportation to retrieve my new car. To my surprise when I get there the car refuse to start. I tried two three times and nothing. That ain't making no sense especially from a car that I bought 1 day ago and it's certified (everything should be good, not perfect but good). So I had to go into the dealership and asked them to change the battery, the manager sent a guy came out at looked at the car he he told me that I probably left something on. And I told him no way we only test drive the car and parked it up so there was no chance to play with it to make that mistake. And proceeded to tell me that the battery probably need to be charged been sitting for a while. That is a stupid comment, there is a car shortage going on as we speak so car prices especially used cars has got up dramaticly. I guy tells me to drive the car for an hour and the battery will be charged. I drove it through traffic for about an hour and I said okay good now what's up I can make a pit stop now the battery should be charged I made the pit stop and went back to the car to start the car and the car was dead I called the Honda care number and they sent AAA guy to my location and he reassured me that the battery is/was dead. Get a new battery. I have. Mini jumpers kit at home and I had to walk with it so I can start my new used car. So I had to come back to the dealership to get a new battery and my second key which wasn't giving to me that same day because the service desk was closed. Then I am told I have to wait 2 - 2 1/2 hrs to get the car. We will see. I still think the salesman was great but the services that they provide was terrible and dishonest.
My wife recommended me to go to Millennium Honda she loved the service and they even through in a metal keychain that has the dealership name on it and it looks and feels great. She tells me look you don't listen to me and look what you get, a lemon battery, that's all I can do with the situation, so I don't recommend going to Bay Ridge Honda you may get a lemon too instead of a keychain.
