I used to have a lot of trust in First Texas Honda, but my most recent service experience was very disappointing. My 2018 Honda Accord was diagnosed with a failed turbocharger, and service advisor Aidan Carlson told me that even with my warranty coverage, I would still owe nearly $800 out of pocket. What concerned me was that he began discussing potential out-of-pocket costs before the warranty company had fully reviewed the claim and repeatedly stated that the warranty would only cover the turbo repair. When I contacted the warranty company directly, I learned that additional charges had not been properly itemized and that labor costs exceeded what the warranty company was willing to pay. After I asked Aidan to provide more detailed information to the warranty company, the claim was re-evaluated and approved. Miraculously, my estimated out-of-pocket cost dropped from nearly $800 to $0. The most frustrating part was feeling like I had to do my own research and advocate for myself to get an accurate answer. Had I simply accepted what I was originally told, I likely would have paid hundreds of dollars unnecessarily. Whether this was poor communication, lack of attention to detail, or something else, it left me questioning the transparency of the process. I appreciate that the repair was ultimately covered, but this experience significantly damaged my trust in First Texas Honda's service department.

Thank you for sharing your concerns. I understand why the change in coverage left you frustrated with the process. The initial estimate reflected what your warranty provider had authorized at that time, and after further communication with them, additional parts were approved, which changed your out-of-pocket responsibility. I’m glad we were able to connect and get this resolved. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me directly at [email protected]. — Dylan Payne, Service Manager

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad the work was completed, but understand that waiting two hours longer than expected can be frustrating. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. -The Team at First Texas Honda
Shane at First Texas Honda was so helpful with some needed repairs on my Honda Pilot 2017. I am on the highway all of the time. When an alert showed up about emissions, he made sure I had a vehicle that I could use since it might take a few days to get the vehicle checked out and repaired. The repairs were done very well and quickly. I sure appreciate Shane, Chris the master technician who provided a helpful video about the issues he found, Zack Clark, and all others involved.

Keeping you on the road when you depend on your Pilot is important! We’re happy Shane made sure you had transportation, Chris kept you informed with the service video, and Zack helped make the experience a great one. Thank you for recognizing the team! -The Team at First Texas Honda
Since moving to Austin I have been taking my car to First Honda and they do not disappoint. From the appointment setting all the way to the service they have been exceptional and inform me of what is required immediately and can wait. Zach was amazing, in my most recent visit, got me in and out quickly. The complementary coffee is a bonus but overall I go for the friendly staff, the great service and price.
