Brantford Honda Experience Bought a 2013 Honda CRV and a 2013 Honda Accord Sport Also another family member bought a 2017 Honda Accord EXL So with the 2013 Accord apparent Bought a 2013 Honda CRV and a 2013 Honda Accord Sport Also another family member bought a 2017 Honda Accord EXL So with the 2013 Accord apparently Honda lowered the price thinking the car had went through their shop already (their process of taking a used car and making sure all safety needs are met and whatever else they do) I guess this usually costs them a couple thousand (so they say)... still their mistake not mine. However when the deal was made new tires were to be put on the car, this did not happen and eventually they gave me west lake tires that they loaded into the back of the CRV. We ended up returning these as west lakes are not a very safe tire to have on your car... I expected a cheap set but not the worst set of tires they could possibly find. Also I still need a rear accord headrest I think they put in a civic headrest. 2013 Honda CRV did not start the day after we brought it home so Brantford Honda towed it to their lot and replaced the battery... car wouldn't start a few weeks later... found out Brantford Honda put the wrong size battery in the CRV. I asked em what they could do for the 2 days missed wages for my wife.. not an unreasonable request I dont think. they have done nothing to address this. 2017 Honda Accord was bought when their was a commercial about a set of free new snow tires with the purchase of a used or new car. Apparently because of the deal that was made with this car that was no longer applicable... funny the commercial never said anything about that. I've let this sit for awhile now still with no resolution. So hey I love the Honda products and ill prolly get another set of Hondas. But as of right now it wont be from Brantford Honda. Sad way to lose 3 good customers Some things you can do if this place gives you a hard time - Contact Honda Canada - Contact Ontario's Vehicle Sales Regulator (OMVIC) - File a complaint with the BBB (Better Business Bureau) so they agreed to give us the headrest and tires but demanded the online content I posted be taken down to make the deal work. (THIS IS EXTREMELY DISTURBING) We refused this of course. I will not accept any demands or lecture on ethics or any negative tone or words from this place ever. Their opinions really mean nothing in this matter. More
Used car department We bought my 2015 crv and traded in my Honda Civic si which had high mileage so we were offered 3000. For the trade. Day it was to come in I had a clu We bought my 2015 crv and traded in my Honda Civic si which had high mileage so we were offered 3000. For the trade. Day it was to come in I had a clutch issue which I was honest and told them about. Immediately they knocked 1000.00 off the trade as they contacted person they were selling it to and needed to fix it. Without a lie that Civic sat in the back in exactly the same place we put it for months! The crv was our 5 th purchase in less than 3 years and I couldn't believe the treatment from used car guy!!! 1000.00 less and lied that they had sold it. Last month my husband saw there was a used odessey on the website was interested for work. Came in and of course had just been sold. We saw another on the lot asked about it. Used car said didn't think it was theirs and because was Saturday couldn't find out. We expressed we were interested he promised to call on the Monday to let us know. Still waiting for the call. That has told me look elsewhere next time. 5 vehicles in 3 years gets you no respect. Only pleasant dealing is Trevor from service to date. More

Chris Smith is unethical and unprofessional I love my Honda Civic and am about to buy an Accord, but I will never deal with Brantford Honda again because of my experience with Chris Smith. He s I love my Honda Civic and am about to buy an Accord, but I will never deal with Brantford Honda again because of my experience with Chris Smith. He sold me my Civic in a very high pressure sales situation that completely tainted my experience of owning my first new car. When that car was written off as a result of an accident two weeks ago, he contacted me to say that my insurance policy requires that I purchase my new car at Brantford Honda. When I told him that I couldn't come in because I have two babies and live out of town, he informed me that I absolutely had to purchase it at Brantford Honda and immediately (again with the pressure). This of course is false; my insurance company will allow me to purchase any vehicle I want. The insurance company also cleared up several other falsehoods that Chris Smith had told me, presumably out of ignorance. I am disgusted with the way he preys on the vulnerable: first time car owners or people who have just survived an accident. Chris Smith lacks integrity. More
Not too impressed I wrote a review previously detailing my poor experiences with Honda Brantford and was asked to remove it as Honda Brantford would try to solve the si I wrote a review previously detailing my poor experiences with Honda Brantford and was asked to remove it as Honda Brantford would try to solve the situation. Coincidentally it is now months later and there is still no results. As a result i am going to post a revised version of what was written before. I bought my first car through Honda Brantford with no problems other than snow tires which was dealt with properly by sales representative Chris Smith. I had an individual run a red light and smash me which totalled my car so as a result i went back to Honda brantford to purchase another car after being happy with the first purchase. Upon purchase of this car i ran into some miscommunication with one of Honda's business reps Rob Buckley which left me paying two bi-weekly payments of over 500$ over the christmas holidays (I'm currently a university student working limited hours, wasn't too impressed to say the least). At this point Mike Anderson stepped in to dissolve any further problems that may arise with the offer that he would try and find used snow tires as compensation for the everlasting problems that have occurred. Currently the winter is pretty much over and Mike has not gotten back to me which leaves me pretty unpleased. Last but not least i paid for rust proofing to be done on my car (the undercarriage) and i was told it was done before i picked up the car 2 months ago heading into the winter. Upon taking my car to another local Honda dealer (Honda on Upper James in Hamilton) i was told the only rust proofing that was done was under the hood and that it doesn't even look recent to this year. So basically i paid an extra 600$ once again to be lied to. This makes me question whether the dealership even rust proofed my previous car i purchased because i never had another mechanic look at it. I went in to Honda Brantford literally 2 days ago to be told Mike Anderson is not there and would call me Saturday, well conveniently its Sunday. I will further update this post as the situation unfolds. (Disclaimer: This is just my personal experience with Honda Brantford. I am in no way shape or form trying to bash or trash Honda as a company, i am just very displeased and unsatisfied with the level of customer service Honda Brantford employs. I am sure Honda Brantford employ's very hard working loyal honest employee's which has amassed a large fan base of consumers, but i just personally didn't feel that satisfaction until i went to Honda on Upper James in Hamilton).

Worst dealership in my 27 yrs of life on earth. I was new in canada when i first bought my car from brantford dealership in 2014. i was student and so i had a citizen of canada be a guaranteer for m I was new in canada when i first bought my car from brantford dealership in 2014. i was student and so i had a citizen of canada be a guaranteer for me to buy a car. I fulfilled every requirement and i was told by their finance department the interest rate will be 0.99% and we finalized the deal. It was my mistake that i didn't go through documents again and hence, when i went to pick up car, the sales representative krista pikula told me to sign on the paperwork and i did not even know what i am signing as nobody was taking time to explain me. She said," quickly sign and take you rare, i have especially came to provide the car or i was off today". i was new in canada and i thought may be this is the way they sell cars here. on fourth day, my car had a recall, then i went for regular service in a month and except service charges, they charged me 168 dollars for something that i don't even understand. The car is one month old , i don't know what kind of cars they are selling that have defects within first month. After six months, i was going through my bill of sale, i had 5,000 approximate worth of policies with my car which i don't even understand and i realized my interest was 3.98% variable. then, i cancelled my honda plus protection plan, and the head office of honda plus protection department told it will take six weeks for an amount to get refunded. they called me after 5 weeks and told they sent my cheque to brantford honda dealership. nobody is even pinch of salt responsible that they should call the customer and let him know that the cheque is arrived. i called them and they said we will right away send in a mail. Now i have called them 10 times and nobody in the office knows where the mail is . Ms. nicole said she mailed it and after 5th january , she hasn't even contacted me to let me know. it has been 15 days for a xxxx single mail. my mail through inter nation department canada post reaches to india in 8 business days. till today i am waiting for my money and my disability insurance is still in process from last 2 months. I don't understand , is this the way you treat an international customer in this country. Disappointment and frustration after dealing with brantford honda, looks like very understated words in english dictionary of the one who is upset. i just want my money back and trust me, till i am breathing on earth, i will pray that you should be treated at least once in your life as you guys treated me. you lied to a foreigner because he didn't had proper info about the purchase of car in this country. that is called fraud. and you have exploited an innocent man's trust and hard earned money, especially when he is living on international funds, which are very expensive than this country's currency. but i accept i should have researched more about you guys before even stepping at your location. Today, even in my dreams even, i don't go to brantford honda dealership. Just give my money back. More
For the past 14 years I have been a loyal customer of Brantford Honda, I have purchased 4 vehicles over that period of time. I have referred others to them for many reasons: high quality customer servic Brantford Honda, I have purchased 4 vehicles over that period of time. I have referred others to them for many reasons: high quality customer service, vehicle maintenance service, very friendly staff, and most of all Honda is a high quality, very reliable car. This comes from my years of experience with Honda. My most recent purchase of a 2013 Honda Civic was a great experience. Chris Smith was the salesman that I dealt with. He was very helpful in helping me choose the car that was a good match for me. When picking the car up, Chris sat with me to go over all the gadgets that I was not familiar with. He spent a lot of time with me and answered all my questions that I had about the car. After I had purchased the car, I did have a couple questions that I contacted Chris about, he got back to me with answers very quickly. It's good to know he cares about his customers and is there for me whenever I have a question. Overall, I think Chris is a great salesman, he's very friendly and approachable. When the time comes for me to purchase a vehicle again, I will definitely be looking for Chris to deal with. More
