I have been going to this dealer for my 2016 Acura...
I have been going to this dealer for my 2016 Acura services for years without any problems ( not that I'm aware of), until this time when my car was due for a service B. On 1/6/2021, the dealer's service department charged over 1K for a service B, told me my car is in excellent condition. Two weeks later, the car's engine light was on, went back to the dealer, no answer regarding why the light was on right after a comprehensive service, told me my car's Faulty Knock Sensor needs to be replaced for $ 657. The following week I had a scheduled road trip which was why I needed my car to be in top condition. While driving in the middle of nowhere, suddenly all electricity inside the car turn black, soon after the car's battery was dead. A good Samaritan stopped by trying to help me out, at that point, I saw the cover for the car's engine was not in its place, it was free-floating inside the car, and the battery terminal positive one has a piece of aluminum foil which barely connected to the terminal. I was lucky to be able to make it back from my trip safely. When I went to the dealer on Monday told the manager what was going on, he wrote down my name and phone number, asked a technician to take that foil out and tighten up the battery terminal, told me I should be able to drive my car for now, and he will call me back for a solution on Wednesday, he did not. I call the manager back on Thursday left a message, still, no return calls from this dealer.
Intentionally tamper customer's cars from a dealer's service not only demonstrate a bad service practice, but it could also cause major damage to the car and serious safety issues to the driver. For myself, as well as other people who use that dealer for their car services' safety, I will repost this incident to BBB and BAR.
