I bought my car from Economy Honda, and have been using them for routine service for the past 4 years religiously. I have always had great experiences, until my last experience a few weeks ago.
I got an oil change, new transmission fluid, and a tire rotation, which in total cost just under $200. I dropped the car off and kept busy in the area for a few hours while they worked on my car.
A few days after I got home, I noticed that my car was leaking oil. I now had oil marks in my garage, on my driveway, and on my inlaw's driveway to clean up. I called Honda a bit upset, and they asked me to bring the car back.
When I brought the car to Honda, they were very nice, and said that they left the oil plug partially open and oil had leaking all over my engine. They cleaned the engine and fixed their mistake. I understand that everyone makes mistakes, but this mistake cost me an extra 2 hours of my time. I was frustrated because it literally wasted my whole morning. I thought that maybe after wasting 2 hours of my life plus the time that it takes to clean off the three oil marks, that maybe Honda would have offered me a free oil change next time or possibly a discount.... But no... Nothing. When I got home I returned the phone call from Honda asking about my recent service visit and left a message asking someone to please call me back. I never heard back.
Like I said, I've always had good experiences, and everyone was very nice to me, but I don't know that I would go back to the dealerships for service and pay more for an oil change after this specific experience.
