Purchased a new 2023 Honda CRV Sport in July of 2023. All went well and satisfied with the transaction. Now the service??? That's a different story. In May of 2024, I noticed the paint lifting on the driver's door near the door handle. Took it in for the service people to take a look at it. They took photographs and told me they would be sending them to Honda Canada for warranty approval. Between May and October, I called and attended the dealership to followup. The first time I went back, the service managet didn't recall me being there and him taking photographs. Again he went outside and took more photographs. Months go by and still nothing. This went on for 5 months. Finally I went in and showed my discontent. This time they promised they would make arrangements with a local bodyshop to make repairs. They said the whole driver door and rear passenger door would have to be repainted due to blending. The vehicle returned and right away as I drove in the parking lot I could see there was a circle of new paint where the repairs were made. It was visible as xxxx. The service manager and the dealership manager came outside at my persistence and looked at it. They both agreed that it was a shabby job and would have to be re-done. Never heard another word from them from that point on. As of writing this at the end of December 2024, still not a word. Knowing that I waited forever for the job to get done, I did not want to wait any longer, so I arranged to have the work done myself and paid for it myself. This is when I decided from now on I will be dealing with Orleans Honda. It's a bit further away, but well worth not having to deal with Hawkesbury Honda any longer. The only thing I will continue to do there is the removal and installation of my summer and winter tires as they are stored at their location. I just attended Orleans Honda today for a steering recall.....oh man what a difference!!!
