I had an experience with your dealership's appraisal service that left me quite disappointed. The valuation provided for my car was notably lower than the market rate, which was quite surprising and fru service that left me quite disappointed. The valuation provided for my car was notably lower than the market rate, which was quite surprising and frustrating. I would like to suggest to potential sellers to consider obtaining multiple appraisals from various dealerships to gain a more comprehensive understanding of their vehicle's market value. This approach may help ensure a fair and satisfactory transaction. Should one choose to proceed with a sale at your dealership, it's important to be aware that the offer might be on the lower end of the market spectrum. I appreciate your attention to this matter. Thank you. More

So, this is going to be a bit of a long read but I just want to make sure I give you all of the information so you can have a better idea of what to expect when shopping at Honda West. So, I was looking f want to make sure I give you all of the information so you can have a better idea of what to expect when shopping at Honda West. So, I was looking for a nice used car, something with a good reputation and gas mileage and of course my first idea was a civic and I still feel confident saying Honda West has some of the best prices in Calgary and I found a great deal on a used 2018 Civic. It was such a good deal I actually stopped and thought that with discount stores in any industry when you tend to trade price for customer service and boy did, I lose the customer service. The oddities started when I was talking to the finance salesman about the unit and he showed me that the car had 15% of its breaks left, something which I asked if they could fix and when he went to his manger, they said they had to because otherwise they were not allowed to sell it, something they would have done if I did not ask. Then when I picked up the car there was no quick walkthrough of the car, they just handed me the keys and got me out the door, which is fine, I just thought it is odd that I get a better walkthrough of a product I get from sporting life then a $20 000 car. While that was a small inconvenience it got way more questionable. I purchased the car in March and come May when the weather started to heat up, I noticed that the A/C was not working, so I try to text the Salesperson who sold me the car and he never gets back to me. So, I text the Finance Salesman and he says that I am no longer covered under the cars warranty, to which I point out that I was sold a car without A/C to which he literally texts back “talk to your salesperson, he isa the one who sold you the car.” So, after this I was a little confused so I literally just call the front desk worker and explain to hear my situation and lack of help the dealership was providing and she assures me that while there was no sales manager in at the moment someone will call me the next day. And as you may have guessed the next day no one called me. So, after a few days of not receiving a call, I literally go into the store just so I can talk to someone. From there the front desk worker makes a call and gets my car booked in for a exploratory service and they find that the A/C is not working and not only that, there is a factory recall for it because this is a known problem. A problem I fell like someone should have definitely known about and been a little more helpful in this process. Anyways, then I am told that they don’t have the part in stock and they don’t know how long it will be so I still will not have air conditioning, and then we had the week of 35-degree days which was no fun when driving to Red Deer with no A/C. They did the part in pretty quick, I believe within 3 weeks, but even after they fixed it there now it makes the same squealing noise as my friends 2006 Cobalt but there is not way, I am going back to them. Finally, the reason I waited so long to write this review is because I wanted to get my car serviced to see if there was anything else wrong with my car and as you probably could have guessed by know, I needed new breaks. Honestly, from my experiences, the fairest I can be is that the prices are very good, however as soon as one thing goes wrong, they are going to be loss then no help. More

Amazing Value and great Certified Pre-Owned warranty as well as customer service. Matthew Porter helped me buy my vehicle & he was knowledgeable, friendly & helpful. Got a car at a great pri warranty as well as customer service. Matthew Porter helped me buy my vehicle & he was knowledgeable, friendly & helpful. Got a car at a great price, The car was price adjusted due to some scraps on the rims. Which I became aware of and was fine with. The only downside was the cracked fog light and small rubber plastic holder that holds the bumper protector underlay is broken. Obviously will cost time and money to fix at dealership. Found those when I went home and washed and waxed the car. They may be able to fix for me as I asked and only recently bought the car a couple days ago. Other than that the car is fantastic and amazing value in the Honda Certified Pre Owned! Comes with a great warranty and had super low km on it. It's in really good condition for a vehicle that is 3 years old to date. Overall I've had really bad experiences at other dealerships in the past but this one was a Shaquille O'neal slam dunk. lol.
