Meadowvale Honda

Upselling, misleading, slow service. My civic was due for servicing and even though there were noticeable problems on my vehicle I brought it in due to a "wrench" signal appearing on the My civic was due for servicing and even though there were noticeable problems on my vehicle I brought it in due to a "wrench" signal appearing on the dash. The employees at this shop could smell my inexperience from a mile away and jumped on the opportunity to charge me over 900 dollars in maintenance charges, nearly all with costs I did not understand. After upselling me beyond a "Type B" service, they offered further services to replace items that I would later find were unnecessary (my car was running fine) and kept the total cost of my maintenance away from me until payment. After being told maintenance would take two hours at the longest, I was told to wait just "5 minutes more" after 2 hours, and "2 minutes more" after 2 hours and a half. It took a whopping 3 hours to complete maintenance and with minimal apology or explanation they shoved a bill in my face and called it a day. Still with little clue of what they actually did to the car, I did significant research after the fact and just feel completely cheated. There is no way they are doing business with their clients in mind, and are simply trying to extract the most money out of their clients. This is a very short-sighted way to do business as I will NOT be coming back here for future maintenance. Completely unprofessional and not worth anybody's time. More

Overcharging, fraudulent and unfair business practice! I took my Civic as there was knocking sound coming whenever i used to drive/reverse the car. It used to be just one loud knock, every time either in t I took my Civic as there was knocking sound coming whenever i used to drive/reverse the car. It used to be just one loud knock, every time either in the morning or after work. I dropped the car at the service center and over phone, they told me that the Rotors are gone and i'll need to change it along with break pads. Secondly, the car was hesitating to start in the morning. Every morning at ignition, it started taking 3-4 tries before starting. So they said over phone, i'll need to change spark plugs for that. It cost me total of $1,500. When i picked up the car and got the repair order, they had explained all the problems and their fixes. For knocking, their fix was transmission fluid, that's it! The break pads and rotors was fixed under a separate order and there was no issue written in that section. I asked why? And they responded, oh because the tech found your break pads to be totally finished. I told them my car was not making any grinding noise or any issue in breaking. But the girl lied to me and said that no, sometimes it doesnt make any noise but your breakpads were gone and they had also damaged your rotors. its ok if they were gone, but you connected the knocking issue with breakpads and rotors when you called me - WHY??? This is their trick. They lied to me over phone, so that i can allow them to work and charge me. But when it comes to paper, they did not lie over there, as it will be all written. This is REALLY FRAUDULENT BUSINESS PRACTICE. Same story with spark plugs. The repair order clearly said that technician tried 20 times and no issues found. Ok - then why you changed spark plugs? No answer, just cuz i told them to check it! I asked them to check it..not to lie to me that i need to change the spark plugs. I complained to Honda Canada Customer Service, which was completely useless. Honda Canada is also encouraging fraudulent practice of meadowvale. I am disappointed utterly, not just by meadowvale Honda but by HONDA CANADA INC. I'll never take my car to this dealership and any other Dilawri owned dealership. They have no fair policy and openly cheat and lie to customers. DONT TAKE YOUR CAR THERE, THEY WILL OVERCHARGE YOU AND LIE TO YOU ABOUT EVERYTHING! More

Probably the most incompetent service department in the GTA As a result of our Honda Fit being rear-ended, I brought this vehicle in for some insurance body work on July 28, 2014. We chose not to proceed with As a result of our Honda Fit being rear-ended, I brought this vehicle in for some insurance body work on July 28, 2014. We chose not to proceed with the insurance company “preferred shop” as we felt the service and workmanship would be superior at Honda. The repair was to take four days, as specified by my insurance adjustor and the head of the service department at Meadowvale Honda. I called on Friday, August 1st and was told the repair was not completed, and it would be a few more days. I called again on Wednesday, August 6th and was told the repair still was not completed. Finally, after a number of calls, the car was finally ready for pickup on Thursday, August 14th. I went with my son to pick up the car and noticed that there were scuff marks on the newly placed bumper, a scratch on the front fender (that was not pre-existing), and the driver seat was dirty from body filler dust. Needless to say I was upset, especially after having to wait almost three weeks for the car which should have taken four days to complete. I told the service manager, that I would not accept the car in that condition. The service manager said the scuff marks could be buffed out at the dealership, but the scratch would have to go back to the auto body shop which is located off-site (Brampton). This was now going to create more delay and we were frustrated. My wife and I were driving by the dealership on Saturday, August 16 and we noticed that the car was still parked in the lot. Obviously, the car hadn’t been sent to the body shop. We stopped at the dealership and spoke with the sales manager (the general manager was unavailable) and expressed our frustrations and concerns. His role was mediator as we communicated our frustrations and concerns with the service manager present at the meeting. Aside from the delay, the lack of communication from the service department was unacceptable. We were never kept apprised of the delays or the reasons for the delays. Many reasons were given for the delays at this unplanned meeting. Obviously, the dirt on the driver’s seat could not be explained away, although the service manager attempted to. He assured us the vehicle would be going to Brampton that day. We finally picked up the car on Thursday, August 21, in the evening, almost one month after dropping it off. During this whole time we never received one phone call from the service department on the status of our car or a reasonable explanation of the delays. This has been the most frustrating experience we have ever had with a service department, and totally unprofessional for a dealership of this size. More

The Worst Dealership in Canada! Everything Sucks here! I bought the Odyssey 2014 last November. The sales guy offered me 2 free oil changes. Last Saturday I called the Service Department to book the first I bought the Odyssey 2014 last November. The sales guy offered me 2 free oil changes. Last Saturday I called the Service Department to book the first oil change appointment and I mentioned to the Service Advisor that this is going to be a free service that your dealership offer me when I bought the Van. She didn't even tell me or remind me that they need to see the sales note (receipt) in order to get a free oil change. The Sales guy told me when I bought the Van, that all the informations will be in the system including the oil change and rust proof warranty. Never ever trust these people at this location. Everyone is suck. They don't know how to deal with their customer. Even the Service Manger Kenny Foo. He blame me that why I have to go to look for the sales guy that I deal with when I purchased my Van. He said the Service Advisor will find out for me from the sales guy. But the Service Advisor Michelle DeAndrade, from the beginning till the end, she didn't even tell me that let her confirm with the sales guy. All she said was I need to see the written proof. Even the Manager Kenny didn't try to help their customer to solve the problem. In the other way around blame on me. He didn't apologize to the customer, still stay so rude to customer. I don't know how he can get into this position. From this point I point, I can understand how bad this dealership is. No wonder all negative feedback. I STRONGLY NOT RECOMMEND THIS DEALERSHIP. More

Everything Sucks here I OWN A 2012 HONDA ACCORD WHICH I PURCHASED FROM MEADOWVALE HONDA IN MISSISSAUGA IN APRIL'12 . I JUST WANTED TO DROP IN A WORD AND LET YOU GUYS KN I OWN A 2012 HONDA ACCORD WHICH I PURCHASED FROM MEADOWVALE HONDA IN MISSISSAUGA IN APRIL'12 . I JUST WANTED TO DROP IN A WORD AND LET YOU GUYS KNOW THAT IT IS THE WORST CAR DEALERSHIP I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH. 1) YOU CALL THEM, YOU CANT GET IN TOUCH WITH SALES PPL, SERVICE PPL UNLESS YOU CALL AT LEAST 2 OR 3 TIMES. 2) SERVICE PPL DONT CALL YOU BACK WHEN YOU CALL TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT. 3) WHEN SERVICE FOLKS CALL YOU BACK, THEY SAY THEY WILL CALL YOU BACK BY THE END OF THE DAY TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT. 4) FINALIZE A DEAL AT A CERTAIN AMOUNT AND THEN ON THE FINAL SALE THEY SAY, EMI HAS INCREASED BY 5 BUCKS A MONTH ( SOMETHING I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT UP LAST YR ) BUT SINCE I AM SENDING A COMPLAINT NOW, MIGHT AS WELL PUT THIS POINT. WORST OF ALL, I WRITE TO THE GM OF THE DEALERSHIP AND NO RESPONSE ! I CAN TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHERE THE CULTURE OF BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE COMES FROM. ALL AND ALL, CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ITS WORST ! I THINK THEY SHOULD GO TO 401 DIXIE NISSAN ( WHERE WE GET MY WIFES CAR SERVICED ) TO SEE WHAT CUSTOMER SERVICE MEANS. FOR THE REASONS STATED ABOVE, I HAVE TAKEN MY BUSINESS TO ANOTHER HONDA DEALERSHIP. ITS PITYFUL OUR VERY OWN NEIGHBOUR HOOD DEALERSHIP IS SO BAD ! More

I was interested in looking at used cars and possibly fostering a relationship with this dealership as they claimed to be rated top 6th in all of Ontario. Living in close vicinity of the dealership I wo fostering a relationship with this dealership as they claimed to be rated top 6th in all of Ontario. Living in close vicinity of the dealership I would prefer bringing all of my future business to them as I am about to start raising a family and settle down. My visit started out well enough but quickly took a turn for the worst as I was introduced to Syed Harris. Current models of the used car I was searching for were not in stock which was fine, I had hoped to leave my information if such a car would come in stock they could contact me. Instead what came next had confirmed my hatred of car salesman. I was now introduced to Andrew Yapp a "floor sales manager?" I was asked if I was interested in purchasing a new 2012 model instead at an "aggressively" reduced price. I took their bait, big mistake, the dog and pony show had begun. Before I was able to get the "aggressive" price which I had asked for on numerous occasions, I had to stomach Syed's showcasing of the car, something of which was unnecessary as I had informed them I knew all about the car and what features it contained. Next I had to endure Syed wasting my time writing up unnecessary paper work, which when I had questioned him about it I was told was procedure and needed to be done as they take selling cars "very seriously". I was clearly frustrated at this point and if Syed could not see that on my face then Andrew Yapp certainly did as he passed by and asked if everything was alright. I asked again what the "aggressive" sales price would be and why I needed to endure the unnecessary paper work. Again I wasn't given the price and told the paper work was necessary, and proceeded to walk away. When Syed had finally come back to talk about the financials I wasn't given the "aggressive" price like I was told I would receive. I shown inflated cost estimates at what monthly payments would be for a used vehicle. When I had pulled out my calculator to show Syed the correct price, he shrugged it off like it was nothing. Next I was shown what monthly payments would be if I were to purchase the new car, and then the crowning moment happened. I was ASKED what I would want to pay for this car. EXCUSE ME? The "aggressive" price I was promised is something you would make up after obtaining the knowledge of what I would pay for this car? I can't believe I fell for this bait and switch tactic. I proceeded to tell Syed what I would pay for monthly which I knew was a completely absurd number. He knew this as well but that didn't stop him from leaving AGAIN to get Andrew so we could keep wheeling and dealing. Andrew once again proceeded to "educate" me on monthly payments and I was once again told a monthly payment price of what they could "get away" with selling the car. I did the math. It came out to exactly what the car was worth. Thank you for wasting 2 HOURS of my time. Thanks for confirming my hatred of car salesman. Thank you for ensuring that I will never set foot in your dealership again. More

Had a horrible experience buying a used vehicle at Meadowvale Honda! After driving from Peterborough to look at a vehicle posted on auto trader, I purchased the truck. I put down a $2000 deposit a Meadowvale Honda! After driving from Peterborough to look at a vehicle posted on auto trader, I purchased the truck. I put down a $2000 deposit and signed all the necessary paperwork to complete the deal. 2 days later I received a call stating they where not gonna sell me the truck because while they where doing the certification they came across some repairs that needed to be done. After arguing with them and getting the UCDA involved, they finally agreed to make the repairs. Ok, so they did the repairs which cost them $3000, but the service station manager, Ken knew these repairs needed go be done and the still chose to post and sell the vehicle certified and etested! Know after owning the vehicle for 1 week, I had problems with the drivers side power window going up. I once again drive 1.5 hours to have it looked at since the vehicle was under warranty. Ken looked at the window and said everything was fine, nothing to fix. Even though it takes over twice as long to rise then any other window! So of course now I need to replace the window motor because the warranty has expired! Also stated in the ad and after speaking with Paul the used car manager, I have been waiting 3 months for my 1 year roadside service that he told me I would get! I have sent over 5 emails to Paul with no return. I would expect this service from some used car dealership that works outta a trailer but not a Honda dealership. More

WORST DEALERSHIP EXPERIENCE EVER!... I won't recommend, anyone to buy a new car from Meadowvale Honda after what happen to me on August 19th, 2013. Tint on the brand new car was really really ba recommend, anyone to buy a new car from Meadowvale Honda after what happen to me on August 19th, 2013. Tint on the brand new car was really really badly done. The Biggest problem on the brand new car, many deep scratches. Muzammil Ali (General Sales Manager) is clamming that these scratches are normal for brand new car and even tint jobs too. Also, failed to delivery my car on time. Don't expect the quality customer service. General Sales Manager doesn't know how to deal with customer. DON'T TURST THE WORDS, they will make you believe that they are the best dealer out there until you sign the purchase agreement. MAKE SURE WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING ON THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT WORK BEFORE YOU SIGN, DON'T TRUST THEM. More
