I went to Acura Hamilton in the fall for a routine oil change and the standard 50-point inspection. I agreed to one additional service after discussion. When asked if there was anything else, I mention change and the standard 50-point inspection. I agreed to one additional service after discussion. When asked if there was anything else, I mentioned a minor item. I was then presented with paperwork that included a $200 diagnostic charge. I questioned this immediately and was told, “Don’t worry about that for now, we’ll talk about it later.” The charge appeared in a different font colour, and I was not informed that the same concern was already covered under the 50-point inspection I had already paid for. A list of recommended services was later provided. After my spouse reviewed them, it was confirmed that none of those services were actually required. When the final approval request came back to me, the diagnostic line item showed $0, so I approved only the original services I had agreed to. Despite this, when I picked up my vehicle, I was charged $200 for the diagnostic — for an issue that was already part of the inspection I had paid for. I escalated the matter to management and was met with condescension and deflection rather than accountability. I subsequently filed a complaint with the Consumer Protection Act. Only after that was a refund offered, conditional on me signing a release waiving any liability related to my vehicle for the past, present, and future. Based on legal advice, I declined. In my view, this experience reflects a lack of transparency and appropriate handling. I am sharing this so others can make an informed decision. If clear communication and fair billing matter to you, I recommend going elsewhere. For Ontario consumers, there are two ways to address billing or service concerns. Consumers can file complaints with OMVIC, which regulates dealerships (https://www.omvic.on.ca/), or under the Consumer Protection Act for general consumer rights, including estimates, billing, and authorization (https://www.ontario.ca/page/car-repair-shops-your-rights). Filing a complaint through either process is free. More
Quoted me $800 for a battery housing. Had it repaired locally for $35. This dealership suggests unnecessary work and never got back to me when I asked for an explanation. Brutal.

If you're an Acura enthusiast, avoid servicing your car at Hamilton—it’s the worst experience I've had! I took my MDX there to address a ticking sound coming from the dashboard, which I identified as an is at Hamilton—it’s the worst experience I've had! I took my MDX there to address a ticking sound coming from the dashboard, which I identified as an issue with the fuel hose vibrating against the engine. They claimed to have replaced the fuel pump, but the problem remains unresolved—the hose is still visibly vibrating. To make matters worse, they returned the car to me with a zip tie on the hose as a temporary fix. Now, they’re suggesting it might be a suspension issue, even though the vibrating hose is clearly the source of the problem. Extremely disappointed with their service and lack of resolution. More
