Bad service overall

i am disappointed on my honda odyssey 2017 that i bought. I went saturday and took my car to service because the lights was flickering and the car was wobbling everytime i pressed the break. I had an appointment at 8 am and waited for a FEW HOURS for the service and was told honda tech was closed and couldnt diagnosed the problem and have to come back during weekdays. And i came back monday they said they will order the parts and need to come back again.I am so disappointed with the service. First , time is very important to me. It was a waste of time and gas. Now taking an off at work during weekdays is not easy for me. Second, why did they sell me the car that is not in good condition?

Dealer response

Hello John, When you came in for the appointment that Saturday, the technicians checked everything on the vehicle to see what could have caused the problem. When everything checked out okay, they wanted to contact Honda Canada for them to diagnose it further. It is unfortunate that Honda Canada is closed on the weekend and we appreciate you coming in on Monday for us to take a closer look. At this time, we have replaced the alternator for you which resolved the issue. We do not sell any vehicles unless all components are operating properly. Unfortunately, as with any vehicle, parts can be worn down from driving, or even be defective from new and have to be replaced. Although a defective part is rare it does happen and with a component like an alternator there would be no warning. We take pride in knowing our customers trust us to service their vehicles whether it is regular maintenance or when there are problems. Thank you for your patience during this process. I believe we have addressed your concerns however if there is anything else I can assist with, do not hesitate to contact me directly at the dealership. Ian Clark General Manager

Another positive purchasing experience.

We just took delivery of a beautiful 2016 HRV! Found the people and atmosphere pleasant and friendly. We found the the unit that my wife had wanted all along. Good job people!

Happy New Honda Purchase Experience

We first met Aaron while we having our car serviced and chatted even though we were not looking for a new vihicle at the time. As it turned out some maintenance issues on our other non-Honda vehicle led us to decide to replace it and we thought of Aaron first for another Honda to purchase. He really made the effort to understand our needs and wants, respecting our price constraints to help us get the vehicle we wanted. We were very satisfied with our purchase experience with Aaron and Wheaton Honda.

Don't deliver as promised

The pre-delivery team in new sales does not fill the tank before the customer takes delivery. Tyler Bulmer makes promises and then decides that defending incompetent coworkers is more important than keeping his word. This 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback is our first and last purchase at Weaton Honda. We previously bought a 2014 Honda Civic Touring and a 2007 Honda Civic at other dealerships but never experienced such bad customer service ever before. My response to Wheaton Honda's April 18, 2017 response. First of all upon leaving the dealership after taking delivery, I drove directly to the Esso on 34 Ave which is a mere 350 meters from Wheaton Honda. Yes it was short on fuel as I suspected (and laughed out loud) by 7 litres. I told Tyler Bulmer when he called me (I did not call him), that I could have driven to Red Deer on that amount to fuel. So he tells me to come to the dealership and he'll give me a $20 gas voucher. I tell him that I'll pick it up when I return the summer tires that was part of the trade in. Fast forward now to the time I drive from BC to return the summer tires to the dealership. At the time I go to the front counter to pick up the so called gas voucher. Surprise, surprise the girl at the counter knows nothing about it. Finally the assistant sales manager comes up and wants me to come back with a gas receipt so he can go find some money to pay me. Of course I laugh about that. Why should I inconvenience myself one second more of my life so that they can rectify their mistake, or incompetence? So then he dreams up another complicated plan that involves me waiting for someone to drive my car to the gas station. Again I laugh because it involves me inconviencing my life again to solve their incompetency problem. I say, why not just give me $20 and I'll be on my way? The assistant sales manager says that he has to account for the measly $20. Excuse me, you want me to do your accounting for you? Why don't you just do your accounting yourself? I tell him, to keep it. So now a couple of months later I come back for an oil change. I find the salesman Tyler Bulmer and tell him I dealt with his clown boss (the assistant sales manager). He decides that he want to renege on what he told me originally (remember the elusive, non existing gas voucher) because my abrasiveness hurt some fragile feelings including his own. Here's the bottom line. All Wheaton Honda had to do is reach into the till and grab me a $20 bill, send me on my way, sign it as customer satisfaction, promotion or whatever they want to. Instead it starts with a pre delivery guy arguing with me that the tank was full. First of all there was a promise to sell a new vehicle with a full tank. Second I'm promised restitution. Third I'm expected to work for said restitution after blowing 25 grand on a car. Some may say I'm being petty. Wheaton Honda are the petty ones. Losing a customer that has owned three Honda cars over a lousy 20 bucks? Smooth move Wheaton Honda, smooth move. Big slow clap

Consumer response

You have my address. You know where to send the money. Are you going to make it good or not? We wouldn't be having this conversation if your dealership would have filled the car in the first place. Incompetence and empty promises are still at the forefront of this issue.

Dealer response

Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding your visit to our dealership. I would like to take this opportunity to clarify a few points. You first contacted our dealership when you were in Red Deer stating the fuel tank was less than 10 liters from being completely full. We apologized and offered you a full tank of gas next time you were in town. A few weeks later, you came into our dealership without any notice where our Assistant New Vehicle Sales Manager offered to give you a gas chit to fill up your tank and asked if you could bring back the receipt for our records. Or alternatively wait 15 minutes to have a lot attendant fill up the tank for you. Neither of these options worked for you as you were in a rush and insisted on getting a gas voucher. It was explained that we do not have gas vouchers as we need to be able to keep copies and track any transaction for our accounting department. You were unhappy with the options and left our dealership. When you came back another day, you were speaking with Tyler about what happened at your last visit. Tyler was sympathetic to your concerns however he did mention there was no need for such abusive language when speaking about the staff. We take every concern a customer has seriously, however we do not tolerate any verbal abuse, insults, or aggressive behavior of any kind to our staff or anyone else on our premises. If you have any further questions or concerns, I encourage you to contact me at 780-463-7888. Ian Clark, General Manager.

Wheaton installs used parts

Wheaton installed a used drive shaft in my car. Would not even look at it after! I talked with both Service Manager and General Manager, but they claimed they didn't do it. Very poor.

Dealer response

Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding your visit to our dealership. I would like to take this opportunity to clarify a few points. You came into our service department having installed a drive shaft yourself that turned out to be the wrong size. Our technicians replaced the drive shaft with a proper fitting one and placed the one that was taken out in the trunk of your car. A few weeks later, you contacted us stating we installed a used part in the vehicle. When asked for more details all that was provided was a picture of a drive shaft on your garage floor. Based off the serial number of the part in the picture, it does not match the one we installed at the dealership. You have since filed a complaint with AMVIC and after an investigation, our dealership was found to be at no fault. We appreciate customers bringing up any concerns they may have with our dealership and strive to bring about a resolution for our valued customers. We cannot speak for a part that was not purchased or installed at our dealership and in this case we stand behind the service and product provided to you at your visit. Ian Clark, General Manager.

Professional and Informative

Upon my first visit to the dealership when I was looking for a new vehicle, I was greeted by one of the salesman. He patiently asked what I was interested in and assisted me in my choices. He followed up with me on successive visits and was very helpful and professional at all times. His fools-up after my purchase was timely and he continues to provide me with assistance.
