They will take your money without fixing the issue. Classic Honda has completely eroded my trust in Honda and its service — a lifelong Honda owner, who will now never buy Honda cars because of my experience with Classic Honda.
I brought my car for service in and around March, 2025, to fix the check engine, warning light and check engine light issue. Classic Honda diagnosed it and told me that issue is related to engine oil rocker switch. I paid~$450 to replace the engine oil rocker switch, believing and trusting diagnostic provided by Classic Honda.
However, despite paying for the replacement, the issue persisted and I took my car in for a second diagnostic, after which, service advisor at Classic Honda told me that the oil rocker switch was improperly placed during repairs and that the issue has “resolved”.
Couple of days after the second diagnostic, the lights lit up on the dashboard of my car once again, I called Classic Honda again and this time asked them what was going on. The service advisor asked me to meet Jonathan, the manager, one of most clueless and downright rude sales manager, I have ever met. His job to make excuses to convince your car can breakdown within 48 hours and 300 km after leaving Classic Honda and that “anything” could happen “anytime”.
Nonetheless, Jonathan asked me to get my vehicle in for the “third” diagnostic — when the “second” diagnostic came clear. Now, this time, Classic Honda said to me that VTS sensor and spool valve are faulty and are needed to be replaced for ~$1550, to my shock and dismay.
The larger issues and question is that why did Classic Honda fail to inform the customers of the real problem at first go, and fraudulently misrepresent to its customers of a non-existent issue that is not related to the complain of the customer in order to fleece customers of their hard-earned money?
Jonathan turned my request for a refund when the problem didn’t get fixed and asked me to leave.
I don’t know how many other Classic Honda horror stories lie out there besides mine. Classic Honda will promise you fixes and take your money only for you, as customer, to regret dealing with them later. Beware.
