On Nov. - Bitter, disillusioned old man
On Nov. 9th my car unexpectedly came to a standstill and after having it towed to Sun Valley, they took several days to look into the problem. When they did so, they concluded that the timing belt had somehow lost its timing settings and the engine would have to be removed in order to reset the timing. By the time they did so, almost 2 weeks had passed and I was presented with a bill of >$1000.00. Two days later (or 111.6 km. later), the car again came to a standstill. Despite their observation that the engine was covered in oil, they refused to accept any responsibility or acknowledge that they had left the engine oil cap off, or loose. The diagnosis now rose to a $6000.00 complete engine replacement. They were able to immediately provide an interim diagnosis this time - in order to disclaim all responsibility! (It is now Nov. 29th) I will NEVER EVER return to Sun Valley Honda for maintenace/service work. This was the last in a long list of unsavoury dealings that I have had with them. I honestly don't know why I decided to give them another try this time but they managed to deprive me of more than my entrie Christmas budget and have totally DESTROYED my holiday season!! Thanks a million Sun Valley Honda! I hope the favour is returned to you some day!
...a now broke and vehicleless old man.
